As Director of Well4life and Well4work she has provided educational material and complementary programs, services and products that support individual clients and corporations in their quest for total health and wellbeing. Jan has been a speaker at many Australian Pharmacy events. Her topic is usually a variation on the theme of “wellness‐focused care (for healthy babies and healthy aging) - a huge financial opportunity for community Pharmacy.” In the United States her presentations have been sponsored by two of the best known integrated pharmacies in the country. Other sponsors in the US include Wholefoods , Marlene’s Deli, Baumann College and Parker Chiropractic College.
Jan’s vision is to make preconception healthcare readily available and easily accessible to individuals around the world, while ensuring that companies reap the commercial benefits from providing and promoting this new paradigm in healthcare. To make this a reality in 2010, Jan is working with Cerebral Fix and Stickmen Studios in NZ to develop a “better babies” game for all platforms and consoles.
