WELLNESS AFRICA is born out of a mutual dream by its founders, Japie Lubbe and Tertia Putter. The dream is to empower individuals and organizations to adopt a wellness workstyle and lifestyle with self-responsibility, balance and personal development in all wellness dimensions. By living a wellness lifestyle, individuals and organisations could reduce their risk and improve their productivity.

With our unique and extensive experience in helping individuals and organisations within an African culture, and learning from the international community they have developed a unique holistic 3-step integrated model approach that will ensure a healthier business. For each of the steps they develop products and services to help you design your own program of excellence. Tapping into the richness of this approach helps organisations create a health & wellness program of excellence (see figure 1).


Traditionally, individuals/organisations declared themselves as healthy when there is an absence of disease. Internationally and locally, the focus is shifting more and more to a preventative approach where we strive towards a state of total WELLNESS, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. WELLNESS is the holistic perception of the individual or the organization as a unity, it strives to release our full potential to live a life in abundance. The wellness model illustrated in Figure 2 illustrates this interconnectedness between seven dimensions influencing wholeness.
