Health Coaching
Do you want to feel more energetic throughout the day, get uninterrupted night sleep, reduce stress in your life, build a healthy exercise routine?
Making changes to your health and well-being can be challenging especially when you’re busy or dealing with ongoing health issues. Over the years we develop habits and behaviours that are no longer helpful but can be difficult to break despite our best efforts. This is where working with a health and well-being coach can be truly beneficial. Health Coaching helps you achieve your health goals, build better habits and live mindfully.
What’s involved?
- Assessing current health and well-being
- Setting SMART goals
- Creating tailored yoga plans – along with physical postures and stress management techniques like breathwork, meditation and mindfulness.
- Behaviour change support
- Weekly check-ins
- Sharing resources and health education
FAQ
What is Health Coaching?
Health coaching is a supported self-management intervention (NHS). It is a partnership between the coach and you, the client. Health coaching empowers and support you to play a more active role in taking care of your health and wellbeing and to be able to make healthy and sustainable lifestyle choices. It is a goal-oriented partnership achieved through regular coaching sessions that will challenge you, help you work on your health goals and to transform those goals into action.
Who is a Health Coach?
We all have that innate ability to understand what is good for us but implementing those changes can be a bit challenging or overwhelming. A health coach, like your personal cheerleader, helps you make those changes and overcome the obstacles on your health journey.
Health Coaches are trained professionals in various aspects of health and body system, nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle. Through the use of positive interviewing techniques, they empower you to identify existing issues and encourage proactive participation in preventing new and existing illnesses.
