what is a health coach?
A health coach is a wellness professional who provides personalised guidance and support to help individuals achieve their health goals in ways that they might not be able to achieve alone.​
We aren't there to tell you what to do, rather we help you decide what's best for you, while offering practical information, accountability and advice as 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?
​I am committed to supporting others wanting to improve their health naturally, whether that’s someone with a chronic illness or someone looking to make a change to their health and wellness.​
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 to:
​​
-
explore options that 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, 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. 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.
​
-
My training and journey with complex illness has provided me with the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to make lifestyle changes that impact health and wellbeing. I also understand the frustration of not feeling heard and the challenges of navigating recovery in a healthcare system that doesn’t take a holistic approach. Plus what I don’t know, I’m committed to learning from the expert mentors I’m fortunate to work with. To learn more about my background and personal journey, click here.

I’m committed to not giving up. - just as I didn’t give up on myself, I’ll do everything I can to support my clients. If your needs fall outside my scope of practice or expertise, I’ll help you find the right person to work with.
