The Cageless Project - Founder
Mary-Anne Quezel
The Cageless Project is a transformative movement dedicated to strengthening mental and emotional capacity within community, in the age of AI, anxiety, and addictive overload.
At its heart is Mary-Anne Quezel (also known as Frankie), author of Cageless - how to break free of your inner prison and founder of The Cageless Project. With decades of experience supporting individuals, leaders, teams, and organisations through behavioural and cultural change, Mary-Anne brings a deep commitment to nervous-system regulation and emotional literacy as the foundation for wellbeing.
A qualified Mental Health Practitioner and member of the Certified Practising Counsellors of Australia (CPCA) — an NDIS-recognised body — Mary-Anne’s work is informed by both professional expertise and lived experience of addiction and trauma-related anxiety.
She is the creator of the Situational Stress Type 1–2–3 Framework, a practical, applied science model so participants can understand what is at the root cause of their situation, so they find certainty for lasting change.
Through retreats, workshops, coaching, and community programs, The Cageless Project helps people to regulate, reconcile, restore and rise to feel more in control of their lives — equipping them with skills to navigate stress, relationships, performance pressure, and compulsive patterns with clarity, strength, and resilience.
In partnership with The Mental Health Training Hub that facilitates live online classes, The Cageless Project’s first major goal is to strengthen 10,000 minds, creating a movement that prioritises capacity, safety in the body, and emotional stability. Join us, you'll be glad you did.
A true story that is design to help you set yourself free
CAGELESS
CAGELESS invites you on a fearless and intimate journey of self-discovery, walking alongside Frankie Quezel as she uncovers her own inner prison while working with inmates and frontline staff inside an actual prison. Through raw observation, lived experience, and a trauma-informed lens, the book exposes how fear and control-based conditioning disrupts the very essence of our lives — distorting choice, silencing instinct, and carving paths that feel wrong, fractured, and misaligned with what we truly desire. Anxiety and addictive behaviours are revealed not as personal failures, but as intelligent responses to this inner conflict. Interwoven throughout are exquisitely designed mind-mapping and self-discovery exercises — questions most people have never been asked — guiding you to break free from your own inner prison.
