JOHN TRAVIS (19 September 2017)

John W. Travis, MD, is an American author and consultant who completed his medical degree in Boston and his preventive medicine residency at Johns Hopkins University. He began his career in wellness by developing one of the first computerized health risk appraisals while serving with the U.S. Public Health Service’s Division of Health Services Research.
In 1975, he left the field of sick-care to open the world’s first wellness centre. In 1979, after being featured on 60 Minutes, the centre was transformed into a non-profit educational corporation, as Dr. Travis continued to lecture and give workshops around the world facilitating other helping professionals in the techniques and processes pioneered by his staff.
In 2000, he moved to Australia, where he continues to live half the year, working in the fields of both adult and infant wellness. Between 2008-2016, he was an adjunct professor in the Wellness Program at Melbourne’s RMIT University. His major present interest is in ending the epidemic of failing marriages after a child is born into a nuclear family.
