Simon Wullimann, BS
Wellness Coordinator and Activities Director

Simon is a unicyclist and can be seen biking from building to building on his unicycle, or around just for fun, but that is the only “uni” in his job at CooperRiis.  He juggles, schedules and participates in all our sports and wellness activities; organizes morning meetings and exercise, community meetings & weekend outings.

As convener of our Wellness Task Force, he helps residents formulate their individual wellness plans with Mary Kreider, our Executive Chef & Nutrition Counselor.  Together they teach residents about nutrition, grocery shopping, and healthy cooking skills, and skills they will take along as part of the “graduation” process. He is also a co-facilitator of Fulfillment Week and our smoking cessation support group.  Simon is also a part time recovery coach for exploratory residents under the guidance of Jim Weitzel.

And if you think you have seen the Wullimann name before, it is because he is the son of Markus and Ines Wullimann.

Simon is a 2002 graduate of Queens University of Charlotte, NC, with a degree in Biochemistry (pre-med) where he attended on both an academic and soccer scholarship!  Simon will attend Appalachian State University in the fall of 2007 in order to study for his MS in Clinical Health Psychology.
