Cerwin Teo - Wellness Advisor

At the age of 32, Cerwin Teo made a momentous decision that would alter the trajectory of his life. Leaving behind the familiarity of his home in Singapore, he set out on a transformative journey to Perth, driven by his passion for wellness and health.

Cerwin's professional path took an unconventional turn as he sought out opportunities in the fitness industry.  Despite facing challenges, he remained resolute in his quest to find a role that aligned with his deeply held aspirations and values.  This pursuit led him to a fulfilling position as a Wellness Advisor at Brockman 2 in the IFMS Portfolio, where he has consistently proven to be a valuable team member.

Upon his arrival in Perth in January 2020, Cerwin not only immersed himself in his major in Exercise and Sport Science with a focus on Nutrition at Edith Cowen University but also undertook work as a factory worker, showcasing his strong work ethic and determination to pursue his passion.

As Cerwin neared the completion of his degree, a casual conversation with a colleague sparked the idea of exploring a new career path.  The prospect of working at a mine site captivated Cerwin, prompting him to delve into this unexpected opportunity.  Little did he realise that this decision would herald the beginning of a truly transformative journey.

Unveiling Tomorrow's Opportunities

In December 2022, Cerwin took his first golf swing and has never looked back since. Reflecting on the experience, he vividly remembered telling himself after the first swing, "I’m going to come back," and realising after the second swing, "This is what I want to do."

"That was my moment to shine in my career. It was the start of something new," he added.

"Our role as wellness advisors is multifaceted and ever-changing. We shoulder the responsibilities of an MC, event coordinator, fitness trainer, and more. This demands a versatile skill set that involves various soft skills."
