Full Bio

Jessie Pavelka is an experienced speaker on the topics of health and wellness – for individuals, groups, and organizations.

Using his own personal story of working with bariatric patients as a fitness trainer in the early 2000s, he talks about how he came to understand that health is so much more than the logical side of just diet and exercise and that thought life and connection with others and the world were equally as important.

Pavelka spent time honing his skill on the screen with NBC’s Biggest Loser in the US in 2014 and Sky TV’s Obese: A Year to Save my Life in the UK in 2011.

He is now sharing his knowledge with corporations and groups through his theory of The Four Elements; Eat, Sweat, Think and Connect. When people pay attention to these areas of their lives and make small changes on a consistent basis, they are noticing a huge impact on their overall health, wellbeing and happiness. Pavelka is keen to accentuate – this is not a quick fix, but a lifestyle for a lifetime.

Pavelka and his team from his business Pavelka (in UK, Singapore and soon to be US), are now supporting people across the globe with simple but effective messaging and resources tackling stress and burnout in this hyper-connected, ever-switched-on world of technology that we live in. Pavelka is about to enter his 5th consecutive as the Health and Wellbeing Ambassador for global tech giant, Cisco Systems.
