Bela Grundmann is an IT project manager by day. He modernizes legacy systems for banks and large organizations. But for the past five years, his passion project has been something completely different.
Through HealthPress.io, his Automattic partner agency, he has been building the digital infrastructure for a growing European lifestyle medicine community, bringing together experts such as Professor Godfrey Grech and Dr. Ioan Hanes.
Building a lifestyle medicine platform that runs while you care
What that community has built is striking.
Godfrey’s clinic-based wellness programs started in Malta and now run across three private hospitals, with partners in Barcelona, Madrid, the UK, and Dubai.
Ioan’s European Lifestyle Medicine certificate, the only one of its kind in Europe, has completed 17 sessions with 600+ students from 60 countries. This September, the whole community comes together in Brussels for its yearly event.
All of it runs on WordPress.com.
Without the automation and the platforms we use today, we couldn’t do this.
Prof. Godfrey Grech
Building for people who are not developers
Godfrey is an academic professor, and Ioan is a physician, vice-president of the European Lifestyle Medicine Organisation. Their time goes into patients, research, and education.
HealthPress built platforms that they could actually hand off to non-technical users.
Godfrey’s patient management system at InvestInYour.Healthruns on WordPress with Groundhogg.io, handling automated follow-ups, program pipelines, and compliance tracking across multiple clinics.
Ioan’s course platform at eulmcertificate.com runs on WordPress with LifterLMS, delivering 10 weeks of curriculum across devices, in a format students from 60 countries can access easily.
It really delivered a modern experience for us educationally, technologically.
Dr. Ioan Hanes
Joining Automattic for Agencies
Bela attended his first WordCamp Europe in 2024 and decided to join Automattic for Agencies.
For him, the decision was straightforward.
He had been running client sites across different hosting providers for years. Consolidating everything on WordPress.com, under the program built by the people who own the technology, made sense for the long term.
It’s best to stick with the founders of WordPress. In the long run, that gives you confidence.
Bela Grundmann, HealthPress
He is now an official Automattic partner. Every client site HealthPress manages runs on WordPress.com.
Ioan’s Brussels event, 10-12 September 2026, will run on the platform for the first time, combining the in-person experience with digital access for those who can’t attend.
For Bela, the vision is 500 lifestyle medicine professionals on the platform.
One million people reached through them. A solo agency, growing without limits, because the infrastructure scales with it.
