what is a health coach?
A health coach is a professional who works alongside clients to provide guidance, information and accountability to help then set and achieve their health and wellbeing goals.​
A health coach isn't there to tell you what to do, rather we help you decide what's best for you, while offering practical information and advice on relevant dietary and lifestyle changes where needed.
​
A health coach can't diagnose conditions, prescribe medications or supplements to treat a specific disease or prescribe specific nutrition plans aimed at treating medical disorders or diseases. If these are areas you are looking for I may be able to help you find the right professional for you.
Would you like to live a longer healthier life,
lose weight, move more, sleep better or stress less?
In 2024 I completed my Health Coach training and am continuing to study nutrition and sports nutrition study to become a registered Health and Nutrition Coach.
​
I am committed to supporting others wanting to improve their health naturally, whether that’s someone with a chronic illness or someone looking to improve sleep, reduce pain, stress or anxiety, create more energy, or improve their metabolic health and longevity.​
If you're feeling stuck with how to make changes recommended by your medical professional, bombarded with info online or want to create a lifestyle change but don't know where to start, I can help you:
​​
-
explore what options work for you
-
decide on your priorities
-
establish achievable goals aligned with your values and lifestyle
-
create a plan to reach your goals one step at a time
-
navigate challenges along the way
-
navigate the complexity of illness recovery
-
create effective accountability
I also provide advocacy for clients navigating illness who need support to ensure their concerns are heard, they can ask the right questions, understand their best options and have a sounding board for deciding what's best for them.
I have experience and expertise in:
- helping others navigate lifestyle changes that enable them to recover from an illness, prevent burnout or create a more balanced lifestyle
- helping people make realistic improvements to their nutrition for health, energy or weight management
- helping clients make a change to exercise habits, manage stress, mental health or improve sleep
​
Why work with me?
​
​I am passionate about holistic health and wellbeing, and as a sports and health coach I love working with people to enable them to make positive changes and achieve their goals. I truly believe we are all experts of our own mind and body, however sometimes we need support and guidance to find the right path for us.
​
I don't follow one specific diet protocol or treatment plan, I help you reach your goals in a way that works for you. The best plan is the one that you can stick to and is effective for you.
​
Due to my own personal journey with a complex illness, I have empathy and understanding of how hard it can be to make sustainable changes. I've successfully implemented interventions and lifestyle changes that facilitated my recovery. These changes encompassed dietary adjustments, strategies to enhance and regulate sleep, manage energy levels, alleviate body pain and anxiety, as well as gaining clarity on my values and life goals.
