Why health coaching?

“Everyone needs a coach. We all need people to give us feedback. That’s how we improve.”              Bill Gates

Health coaching can transform your life by changing your every day habits and behaviours.  A Health Coach is a wellness professional trained to support, educate and empower you to find your way to better health.  We help you discover health promoting food and lifestyle choices unique to your needs and teach you how to include them in your life for positive, lasting change.

In a world that makes good health difficult to achieve and unnecessarily complicated, health coaching removes the overwhelm and provides a personalised route back to sustainable health, on your own terms.

Most people know what they ‘should’ be doing to improve their health and prevent various diseases—but people don’t do them!

The problem isn’t the lack of information.  You can Google anything about healthy living on your phone right now. People are unaware HOW to change their habits, or if they do know how, they struggle with consistent action and motivation.

Here’s a quote that sums this up nicely:

“Knowledge is to behaviour change, what spaghetti is to a brick wall.”  Chris Kresser

 

 

 

 

 

 

In other words, its not lack of information out there, it’s a lack of acting and following through on these ‘should do’s’.

A health coach will support you unconditionally, WITHOUT ANY
NEGATIVE JUDGEMENTS, into making simple habit changes.  Using empathy and accountability, a health coach will empower you to upgrade your health…and when you’re healthy, this will have a ripple effect in other areas of your life.

How can I help you choose the right habits to improve your health?…When the solutions to problems come from you, you’re much more likely to act, than if you were told what and what not to eat.

Humans are inclined to rebel!  We’ve had enough of being told what to do from parents, teachers and government.

Daily changes to your every day habits are the key to long-term health.  Raising self-awareness and self-compassion.  We’ll involve a lot of questions, and a lot of reflective listening.  Putting a big priority on small changes will lead to massive results.  Its being the tortoise and not the hare.

“Chronic diseases are caused by an epidemic of bad habits.” Mark Hyman. 

A client can expect a judgement-free zone.  I’ll see you as you are, holding you in a positive regard at all times.

I’ll provide empathy, support and accountability so that you’ll have the tools to progress toward your health goals.
