About Us
Wellbeing Management Institute is dedicated to helping people live healthier, smarter, and longer lives by managing stress and lifestyle effectively.
Founded by Chris Vakas, a wellbeing and success coach, the institute was born from personal experience. After being diagnosed with life-threatening cancer and septicaemia, Chris was told that without radical lifestyle changes, survival was unlikely. Determined to turn his health around, he developed a holistic, practical approach that transformed his life. Now, through the WellBeing Management Institute, he shares these strategies to help others achieve financial security, optimal health, and more free time for what truly matters.
Hi, I Am Chris Vakas
My journey didn’t start in wellness—it began in electronics engineering. From there, I traveled extensively across Australia and overseas, gaining diverse experiences that shaped my perspective. Everything changed in 1991 when I faced a life-threatening illness. That wake-up call led me to rethink the fundamental importance of health.
Determined to understand my own remarkable recovery, I returned to Sydney in 1992 and joined the Natural Health Society. This curiosity sparked a lifelong passion for health and regeneration. In 1993, I expanded my expertise into property and finance, working as a mortgage broker to help clients invest strategically and eliminate personal debt.
In 1996, I founded my first company, Webmall, providing internet and financial services. This gave me the flexibility to dive deeper into what truly fascinated me—how our environments shape our health. After years of research, I pursued formal studies in health science, specialising in environmental health at QUT in Brisbane. This confirmed what I had already suspected: our wellbeing is deeply intertwined with both our natural surroundings and social environments.
For 20 years, I worked in government public health roles across Australia and internationally, consulting with both government and private sectors to improve business practices, corporate wellbeing, and environmental health. This experience reinforced my belief that health isn’t just personal—it’s systemic.
In 2021, I founded the Wellbeing Management Institute, a global platform dedicated to helping people regain their health and supporting like-minded professionals in sharing essential wellness knowledge worldwide. Excitingly, upcoming editions of The 9 Laws of Health will focus on guiding parents, teenagers, and children toward lifelong wellbeing.
Self-Care Starts With You
I’m truly passionate about being your health and wellness coach—and I’m here to guide you through the same transformation that helped me reclaim my life and health in a surprisingly short time.
The truth is, when we lose our health, everything else can begin to fall apart. I know firsthand how devastating it feels when even simple movements cause pain, and every day feels like a struggle for survival. If you’re in that place right now, I understand you completely. And if you’re not, I sincerely hope you never have to face it.
Over the past 25+ years, I’ve helped hundreds of people regain control of their health, energy, and overall well-being. I’m a strong motivator and deeply committed to helping others experience sustainable change—and I believe I can help you too.
