ABOUT OUR FOUNDER KATRINA WALTON
The journey into workplace wellness was a personal one for Founder/Director of Wellness Designs, Katrina Walton.
And it came after several years working at the ‘downstream’ end of the health sector very early on in her career, helping rehabilitate people with cardiovascular diseases.
She saw first-hand the effect “work” was having on them.
It stirred up a burning desire in her to help prevent these conditions by nipping the problems at one of its most common sources – the workplace.
A distinguished workplace wellness expert in Australia and on a global level, Katrina has more than 25 years’ experience in helping organisations to bring out the best in their people and their bottom line. She develops results-oriented strategies based on her unique combination of experience both as a strategist and at the coalface as an inhouse Wellness Manager for the likes of Ramsay Health Care, Queensland Rail and adidas (UK).
