Our Origin and Founder
Troy Norris - Founder, Chief Wellbeing Officer and WellBalance Institute Principal Researcher
The WellBalance Model of Positive Wellbeing was developed by Troy Norris, a Harvard-trained scientist, published author, speaker, and triple-certified life, health, and wellness coach. He originally developed the WellBalance Method as he forged his own path from a period of deep despair to create a resilient flourishing life.
As a scientist and business executive who has devoted his professional career to advancing innovation in disease diagnosis and treatment, Troy experienced personal turmoil from living a life out of balance that led him to focus on helping healthy people live more full lives. Troy became an avid student of positive psychology and wellbeing and created WellBalance's integrated approach for balancing mental and physical wellness with strong relationships and a purposeful life of significance aligned with sustained professional engagement and achievement. Building on decades of experience mentoring young professionals and new venture leaders, Troy began coaching based on the WellBalance model.
Seeing the success of the WellBalance Method first-hand, Troy founded and leads the WellBalance Institute, dedicated to advancing wellbeing research and bringing the science of positive psychology into people’s lives, relationships and workplaces to create resilient well-being and flourishing. The WellBalance Institute's research validating and applying the WellBalance Model and Assessment has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals and presented at leading scientific conferences.
Troy serves as an Innovation Fellow for Harvard Innovation Labs and is an advisor and mentor for multiple life sciences, behavioral health and wellbeing new ventures. Troy earned Bachelor and Masters degrees from Harvard University. The father of three young adults, Troy enjoys spending time with family, enjoying music and art, playing recreational sports with friends, exploring new places and cultures, and biking, hiking or boarding on trails, waves or slopes with fresh air and sunshine.
