"In navigating burnout what I found is that the HRV tracking has given me ‘scientific permission’ to actually lie down and have a rest and not wait until I'm absolutely flaked out and can barely stand up. But proactively turning it into - what do I like doing and how can I use that time in a way that sparks joy and allows me to recover?"

Why work with me?
​​​I listen
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.
​
I understand the complexities
​Living with a complex illness myself, I truly understand the challenges of making lasting health changes, especially while navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t often take a holistic approach or recognise the complexities. Learn more about my background and personal journey.
I'm committed
I’ll do everything I can to support you to get the results you want. What I don’t know, I’m committed to learning from the expert mentors I’m fortunate to work with and if your needs fall outside my scope of practice or expertise, I’ll help you find the right person to work with.
Heart Rate Variability Tracking
See how your body responds to daily activities, exercise or stress and make changes without having to guess what's working. ​
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracking is a tool, that provides you with concrete data to understand and improve how you sleep, recover from daily activities, pace, manage stress and more. ​​
​
As a health and HRV coach I can help you analyse the data, reflect on what's working or not working and provide personalised recommendations to get you where you want to be quicker.
​
Firstbeat's highly accurate data allows for detailed analysis of your nervous system activity (sympathetic vs. parasympathetic) throughout the day and night. It can pinpoint exactly when stress peaks, when recovery truly happens (or doesn't), and how specific activities, stressors and changes to your lifestyle impact your energy. ​
For someone managing complex illness or burnout, HRV is crucial for understanding your body's true capacity, preventing crashes, and optimising your energy.

What is a Health Coach?
A certified health coach is a trained professional, registered under the Health Coaches Association of New Zealand and Australia (HCANZA) who supports individuals in achieving their health goals in a way that compliments other medical interventions and fills a critical gap in the healthcare system. They are specialists in behaviour change and work collaboratively with clients to provide personalised guidance, tools, strategies, motivation, and accountability to help people make long-term lifestyle changes to prevent disease or improve long term health. In general health coaches work to improve or manage diet, physical activity or movement, stress and sleep and some may have a specific areas of focus such as mental health, chronic illness, metabolic health or nutrition.
FAQ
What does a health coach do?
A health coach, like Kate at Inside Matters, works in partnership with you to determine the best way for your to achieve your health and wellness goals. We don't diagnose or prescribe, but rather empower you with knowledge, tools, and accountability to make sustainable lifestyle changes in areas like nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep. We discuss your needs, values, what has worked or not worked in the past and together to create a personalised plan with accountability and the support you need to make decisions and changes that are right for you.
Who is health coaching for?
Health coaching is for anyone wanting support to make changes to their diet or exercise plan, or those wanting to reduce stress, improve sleep or manage fatigue to get more out of life. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck on your health journey and looking for a a personalised, holistic approach, book a FREE 15 min call to discuss your needs and see if it's the right fit for you.
Is health coaching suitable for people with chronic conditions?
Absolutely. Kate’s personal experience with burnout and chronic conditions Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) gives her a unique understanding and empathy into what it's like to live with and navigate chronic health conditions. If a client’s needs go beyond the scope of Health and Nutrition Coaching, such as requiring medical, psychological, or other specialist support, Kate can discuss your options and provide support for an appropriate referral.
How is health coaching different from a doctor or therapist?
Doctors are experts in diagnosing and treating disease and with short appointments often don’t have the time to discuss and support you with lifestyle changes, while therapists focus on mental and emotional health. As a health coach, I bridge the gap by focusing on behavior change, lifestyle, and a holistic view of your health. I provide you with the tools, strategies, and support to implement a plan and maintain the changes needed to improve your health.
How long does it take to see results from health coaching?
Having a plan is the first step to feeling better and this provides a sense of relief, hope and accomplishment, when you're feeling stuck or don't know where to start. The timeline for results varies greatly depending on your individual goals, commitment, and the complexity of your health challenges. Our packages, like the Starter (3 sessions) and Momentum (6 sessions) packages, are designed to get you started and provide some ongoing support to set you up for lasting change. We focus on building sustainable habits, not quick fixes.
Do you offer online health coaching?
Yes, our health coaching services are primarily online, making them accessible to clients across the world. This allows for flexibility and convenience, enabling you to receive support from the comfort of your own home. In person health coaching sessions are also available for clients located in West Auckland.
What makes Inside Matters’ health coaching different?
At Inside Matters, our uniqueness lies in the combination of Kate's knowledge of chronic illness and nutrition alongside a data-driven approach. Kate specialises in using heart rate variability tracking alongside coaching to provide objective insights and tailor strategies precisely to your physiological needs. The energy mastery coaching package provides clients with the use of a medical grade HRV tracking device along with health coaching sessions to review and act on the results. The wellness room in Glen Eden also offers complimentary infrared sauna and red light therapy services for local clients.
Do you provide nutritional plans or medical advice?
I can provide nutritional plans with general supplementation advice where relevant and can also help you advocate for your medical needs. Seeing as I am not a trained doctor, I can’t provide medical advice, however I can work in collaboration with your other healthcare providers with your permission. I also don’t follow any one specific diet, as I believe the best diet is the right one for you individually. We will work together to create a plan that supports your body's needs, aligns with your health goals and is most likely to help you succeed.
How does HRV tracking fit into coaching?
For some clients, we use Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracking and provide you with a medical grade device to get objective data on your body's response to stress, sleep, and activity. This reduces the guesswork when looking at what works or doesn't work for you as often we see results in the data before you feel the difference physically or mentally. It creates an even more precise and effective plan to achieve your health goals.
How do I get started with health coaching at Inside Matters?
The best way to get started is by booking a free 15-minute discovery call. This gives you an opportunity to chat with Kate, discuss your health goals, and learn more about how our health coaching can support you. It's a no-obligation way to see if we're a good fit for your wellness journey.
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.
