I’ve been health coaching since 2018 when I qualified from Health Coach Institute. Since then, I spent 5 years in the NHS as a health coach in GP surgeries in the New Forest (September 2019 to September 2024). I’m a member of the UK and International Health Coaching Association.
During my time in the NHS, I helped many people reverse pre-diabetes, come off blood pressure medication, lose body fat, reduce joint pain, improve mental health, gain energy, improve sleep and just feel a bit better about themselves. All by helping people change their day to day habits, shopping lists and routines.
I had lots of fulfilment and success with patients, helping them improve their health and happiness. I’ve had to learn that everyone has a unique situation to deal with. We all have different backgrounds, habits and limiting beliefs about what we can or can’t do. We have different living arrangements, food and lifestyle preferences. I like to think that everyone is a unique puzzle to solve. It’s always possible to solve, and it’s always one action at a time.
With my experience of working within the NHS – all throughout the Covid and lockdown times – I’ve built a lot of experience up…helping people navigate the stresses of modern life. A combination of empathy, support, accountability and a few other qualities have really helped further my coaching.
As an online health coach, I’m now going upstream – I’m aiming to help people stay well and out of the NHS…and be healthy by default.
I’ve seen how people can create their own health solutions by removing the habits and actions that have created their sickness.
And, when you feel more able to deal with the stresses of modern life, you’ll have a healthier, happier and more productive workforce. This can have a positive ripple effect on employees’ home lives too.
Before my time in the health and wellness world, I worked in the adventure travel industry for 12 years. Sounds glamorous, and sometimes it was, but I didn’t have that fulfilment that I have now. Seeing somebody reverse their type 2 diabetes because of my support, is so much more rewarding that going on a free holiday!
