We are delighted to welcome Darlene Mazeau to the Wallacea Living team as our Wellbeing Manager. A hugely important member of the team, Darlene will oversee our wellbeing and health initiatives, in line with our mission to create an elevated living environment and an inspiring community for those in their later years.
Darlene brings with her a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to promoting both physical and mental health. She began her career as an athlete competing internationally in long-jump and sprinting between 2009 and 2018. This experience played a huge part in inspiring her to go on to focus on holistic wellbeing, and she brings her unique knowledge on sport and nutrition, as well as how to be at your best both physically and mentally, (and the interconnection between both) to the role.
After retiring as an athlete, Darlene worked as an Occupational Health Trainer at TP Health where she worked with organisations such as Amazon, the NHS, and the Science and Technology Facilities Council. She then gained further experience as a Project Manager, a Nutritional Advisor & Life Coach, and a Wellbeing Educator in various settings.
Darlene’s commitment extends to seamlessly integrate nutrition into life at Wallacea Living for homeowners. Having studied nutrition, she recognises the role of food in improving the quality of later life, managing chronic conditions, and preserving mental health.
Within her role, Darlene will build relationships with healthcare partners such as pharmacists, GPs and numerous medical specialist service providers, facilitating unparalleled access for owners. She will also develop our wellbeing programmes, working with state-of-the-art technology and equipment, overseeing regular assessments, and creating individualised plans.
She will spear-head the schedule of wellbeing activities hosted at our on-site facilities too, including seminars, talks on health and wellbeing topics and workshops.
Commenting on her appointment, she said: "I'm excited to join the Wallacea Living team and take on this important responsibility, building a community. Wallacea Living is very proactive in its approach to wellbeing, and I feel fully supported and empowered in my mission to create an unparalleled nurturing environment. One that not only supports the physical health of our owners, but also fosters their emotional and mental wellbeing too. We're not just building living spaces; we're crafting a lifestyle that encourages a sense of belonging, independence, and longevity.”
With her specialised background and dedication to promoting health, Darlene’s appointment marks an important milestone in our development and reinforces our dedication to creating a vibrant and inspiring community that prioritises the wellbeing of our homeowners.
Paul Morgan, Co-Founder and CEO of Wallacea Living, commented on the appointment: "Darlene Mazeau's extensive experience and passion for promoting health and wellbeing match perfectly with our aim to make Wallacea Living the epitome of a thriving and enriching community for our owners. We believe that by proactively promoting wellness, we support our owners’ goals for longevity, and Darlene is the ideal leader to guide us in this mission."
