About Protea Solutions
Transforming workplaces through strategic wellbeing and empowering people to thrive
Our Story
As a workplace wellbeing consultant I work with organisations to move beyond initiatives and embed wellbeing into leadership, culture and performance.
Founded with over 30 years of combined experience in human resources, organisational psychology, and workplace wellbeing, we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of putting people first.
Our name, Protea, is inspired by South Africa’s national flower – known for its resilience, diversity, and ability to thrive in challenging conditions. Just like the protea, we believe organisations can bloom beautifully when given the right environment and care.

Marion Hewitt
I’m Marion Hewitt, workplace wellbeing consultant and trainer, and for over 30 years I’ve been driven by the core belief that when people flourish, organisations thrive.
My career began in Human Resources, from operational HR roles, to working alongside senior leaders. I’ve worked across diverse sectors, supporting businesses through change, challenge, and growth. Each experience confirmed what I know to be true, that a proactive, evidence-informed approach to workplace wellbeing transforms how people feel, perform, and engage at work.
I’m proud to be an award-winning coach, a Mental Health First Aid England accredited trainer, and a Fellow of the CIPD, but I never stop learning. Staying up to date with wellbeing research, psychology, and best practice in HR ensures that the support I offer is grounded, relevant, and effective.
One of the programmes I’m most proud of is Unleashing You. This is a transformative journey for individuals ready to quieten their inner critic, unlock their strengths, and grow into a more resilient, self-compassionate version of themselves.
