We have partnered with Chris Desmond (One of our physios!) who is also a Health and Wellbeing Consultant & Injury Prevention Consultant.

Chris believes: “Health and Wellbeing is the foundation of how we perform at work and in life. If our health isn’t good it’s hard to show up at our best as a parent, a partner, a team-mate, a manager, or a worker. We need to make sure our health isn’t a handbrake on our performance”

MY BACKGROUND
I’ve been working on improving the health of New Zealanders for the past 18 years. I started out as the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff working as a physiotherapist at Wellington hospital, helping people who had already had something go seriously wrong with their health.

From there I stepped into the private rehabilitation sector in New Zealand, working as a physiotherapist for one of New Zealand’s largest rehabilitation providers. Then managing a Wellington based physiotherapy clinic. Helping to lead the development of both their Health Safety & Wellbeing and internal training services at a national level. I spent over a decade working in the Occupational Health space and enjoyed getting tapped on the shoulder to come up with a bespoke solution to a problem an organisation was facing.

WHAT I DO
I’ve got to see what happens to people’s lives and performance when their health isn’t good and the many negative ripple effects that has. Now I help individuals and organisations to take take ownership of their health so they can show up at their best in all aspects of their life.
