Book a quick and free chat. This will allow me to conduct a quick assessment to see how you may benefit from having personalised health coaching and is via phone or Zoom. It also allows you to find out more about the health coaching process and what is involved.
After booking you will need to check for BOTH an appointment confirmation details and a separate email from me that will contain the instructions you need to connect with me ONLINE at the time of your appointment. During our conversation please be ready with a cup of tea or glass of water and pen and paper so you can make some notes. I will explain what health coaching involves. I will also ask you a series of questions.
If we agree to work together then we will arrange your first coaching Discovery session and you will receive a Health History form that we will go through at the Discovery session. You will need to have an internet connection and an email address to receive handouts.
To help you decide whether health coaching is for you here are more key questions:
- What are the benefits to you and your loved ones in being healthier?
- How important is it that you achieve the results you want?
- What is the cost of not taking care of yourself?
- What has been your past history of independently achieving your goals?
- How important is it to you to improve your wellbeing?
- What value do you place on reducing stress, increasing your happiness, and learning how to take better care of yourself?
- What is your current diet and lifestyle placing at risk?
If the answers are that you value your health greatly because you realise it gives you longevity, allows you to enjoy time spent on your passions and with family, allows you to stay fit and active for your loved ones and financially then it's time to invest in it.
Will I have to follow a diet?
The simple answer is no. No one diet works for everyone. Health coaching is not about prescribing diets. The answer is you don't need to follow a diet when you work with me, unless a dietician or other allied healthcare practitioner has prescribed one for you. I will guide you to find the natural food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals and upgrade your health and wellbeing. Rather than struggling to do what you should do alone you will have me there alongside you.ywork with the concept of BIOINDIVIDUALITY, that no one diet works for everyone. The best way to eat is mostly whole foods based and one that fits your lifestyle in a positive way and works for you. That is what we will be working on together. As your tastebuds adjust, you will learn to add new foods. You will learn about how food can diminish fatigue, keep you youthful and ease bad moods. We will look at how you are making your food choices NOW and then the coaching process will help you choose better ones.
My passion is to help people from feeling stressed out and struggling to relax to being able to sleep well and manage their stress creatively so their bodies and minds feel in harmony.
Together we work on creating healthy habits through addressing mindset and environment. I draw on my knowledge of health coaching and other modalities such as bodywork, aromatherapy and stress management through holistic therapies.
What you get on my programs:
- Regular coaching sessions that keep you motivated
- Simple healthy recipes and meal ideas
- Handouts specific to your needs and goals and that will increase your own knowledge
- Accountability
- Encouragement
- Discretion - our sessions are confidential between us
- My personal commitment as your Integrative Nutrition Health Coach to your success in achieving your goals
- Your guide on the side to support you make the food choices and lifestyle changes you want
Who do I work with?
I work best with people who are ready to accept with grace. If you are feeling high levels of stress, know that your eating habits and/or lack of sleep are compromising your wellbeing and are ready to change to a healthier way of eating and a more sustainable way of living then contact. I take a gentle yet hold firm space approach with my clients so they learn or remember how to remember to nurture themselves.
If you feel it is too hard to go it alone then how would you like to have me along on your journey as your guide on the side? Below are some of the client issues I have addressed in health coaching:

COACHING SESSIONS
Health Coach Discovery Session
Your first health coaching session is the one-to-one Discovery coaching session. I will conduct a health history consultation with you and we will discuss your health and lifestyle goals. It's not only what you eat but also how you live, based on your Health History form, to determine how I can best support you in identifying imbalances and how these can be dealt with. I will assess your needs and ask you a series of questions and we will work out what your goals are, what's stopping you from reaching them, and how I can support you to meet these, take action and find a sustainable way of being.
By the end you will have established what your most urgent health priority is and at least 1 action step that you can work on immediately towards your goals.
Single Coaching Session
After you've had your Discovery coaching session you can choose to follow up with a single session or one of my coaching packages. My recommendation is that you choose to have a minimum of 4 sessions of coaching, one each week, to make good progress and be held accountable but I realise that sometimes people may want to consider a single session.
If you've worked through the action step/s and now you need to take things further then this follow up session helps you to stay on course. We will discuss how and what you did and achieved, where you may need tweaks and set into action more towards your goals. This allows you to expand on the changes you've started to make and deal with any challenges.
SEASONAL DIY PROGRAMS
I have authored two Wellness Reset programs, for those who want to try a 7-day short do-it-yourself course.
