Question 1

What is your role as a Health Coach?

Accepted Answer

As a Health Coach, I empower & support clients to achieve their health-related goals & improve their wider wellbeing.

Question 2

Why work with a Health Coach?

Accepted Answer

Unlike a Nutritionist or PT (for example), Health Coaches take a holistic approach to wellbeing. Whilst we do address well-known foundations of health such as diet & exercise, we also address wider lifestyle factors which impact wellbeing such as sleep, stress management, relationships, career, toxins etc.

Working with a Health Coach is also a collaborative process. It's not about me telling you what to do or giving you a standardised plan; it's about us working together to dissect what's currently holding you back & what's going to get you the results you're looking for. Part of this includes me empowering you with knowledge on key pillars of health, but your input is equally key - what does a 'normal' day look like for you; is convenience important to you; what types of food/exercise do you enjoy...? 
Once you understand what lifestyle tweaks could move the needle for you and I understand how your health goals fit into your 'real' life, we can work together to establish convenient & sustainable changes which will deliver your goals & improve your wellbeing long-term.

Question 3

What makes you stand out from other Health Coaches?

Accepted Answer

I have a Level 5 Diploma in Health Coaching from the College of Naturopathic Medicine - the no. 1 training provider in natural therapies. The Diploma is OFQUAL Registered and accredited by the Association of Naturopathic Practitioners, ASIC, NHS's PCI UK and UK & International Health Coaching Association.

As a result of my training, I take a holistic & naturopathic approach to health. This means that I focus on the power of dietary & lifestyle changes as a means of promoting wellbeing, and appreciate that improving my clients' wellbeing means considering them and their lives as a whole, rather than discussing symptoms in isolation.

With a professional background in corporate law, I have also experienced first-hand how - if left unmanaged - a fast-paced, busy life can negatively impact our health & wellbeing. Having improved my own wellbeing via dietary & lifestyle changes, I now want to help others do the same!

Question 4

What do you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

In my 1:1 coaching practice, I specialise in energy optimisation & stress management - I want my clients to feel vibrant & balanced!

Many people don't realise that how we eat, sleep, work, rest, exercise etc. all has a HUGE impact on our energy & stress levels. So, I still cover all the foundations of health within my coaching programmes, but just with a slant towards stress reduction & energy optimisation.

Another topic which I'm SO passionate, is the power of habits. I truly believe that understanding how to make/break habits effectively is the key to unlocking long-term success - whatever your goal(s). So, this is another cornerstone of my practice which I lean into a lot with clients.

Question 5

Is Mastering Habits a coaching programme?

Accepted Answer

Mastering Habits is a 'breakthrough session' - you can either do it as a one-off, or as a precursor to a longer 1:1 health coaching programme.

Mastering Habits is different to longer-form coaching programmes in that (a) it's a one-off session (along with a 20-page interactive e-book for you to work through in your own time), and (b) we focus on HOW to make behaviour changes which stick (rather than discussing WHAT specific health-related behaviour changes you could work on).
