Holistic Health Coaching

What is Health Coaching?

Empower Your Health Journey with Holistic Health Coaching

My Health Coaching is a versatile tool that can be used to address a wide range of health goals, whether you are looking to enhance your current well-being or manage existing health challenges. I use coaching principles to support your health by understanding your current status, asking insightful questions, and helping you explore effective actions you can take for improving or maintaining your well-being.

Pro-active Wellness for Everyone

For individuals already in good health, my health coaching can offer insights into lifestyle choices, helping you make conscious decisions to optimize your well-being and prevent future health concerns.

Support for Chronic Conditions and Mental Health

If you are facing physical ailments like diabetes or hypertension, or mental health issues such as stress and anxiety, my health coaching can help you better understand and manage your condition while considering your own unique circumstances.

A Holistic Approach to Health

My coaching philosophy embraces a holistic view of health, recognising the interconnectedness of lifestyle, nutrition, mental well-being, habits, and physical health. By exploring these factors together, we can gain a deeper understanding of your unique needs and develop a personalised plan to help you achieve your best health, now and in the future.

Prevention and Empowerment

I believe in empowering you to make informed choices and develop sustainable habits that promote long-term well-being. Together, we will focus on preventing new health problems while addressing existing concerns.

A Safe and Inclusive Space

My approach is built on a foundation of unwavering respect, compassion, and inclusivity. I warmly welcome individuals of all races, genders, sexual orientations, backgrounds, and walks of life, creating a safe and empowering space where you can comfortably explore your health goals and make positive changes without fear of judgment.

This is a space where your unique journey is honoured, and your individuality is celebrated. Together, we'll embark on a transformative path toward optimal health and well-being, free from criticism.

Let's Work Together

Whether you're seeking to optimise your current health or navigate specific health challenges, my health coaching can provide you with the support and guidance you need to achieve lasting well-being.

How is Health Coaching different from seeing a Doctor ?

One of the frustrations many people face in traditional healthcare is the limited time they get with their doctor. Appointments often feel rushed, and there’s rarely enough opportunity to address more than one issue at a time. As a health coach with a medical background, I offer a different approach—one where you have more time and space to dive deeply into your health and well-being.

While I am a qualified doctor with 5 years of experience, my role as your health coach is not to diagnose conditions, order tests, or prescribe medications. Instead, I use my medical knowledge to help you make long-term, sustainable changes in your health and lifestyle. This means you’ll have the benefit of my medical expertise, but with the added advantage of personalized, holistic guidance and support—without the time constraints typically found in medical settings.

You will also have the benefit of continuity as you will be seeing the same person, me, in all your Health Coaching sessions. Our sessions are a space for deeper conversations about your overall health. We’ll work together to create a tailored plan that addresses your unique health goals. I’ll be there to provide consistent support and ensure you stay on track, adjusting the plan as needed so you can achieve lasting success.

Research supports this approach. Studies show that longer consultations and continuity of care often lead to better health outcomes, as they allow for more in-depth discussions, better management of chronic conditions, and greater patient satisfaction (check references below). While I won’t replace your regular healthcare provider, I’ll empower you to take control of your health with the time and attention you need—something that’s often missing in traditional healthcare.
