Have you considered a health coach?

It seems like the buzz around town for 2019 is self-care/self-love and wellness. The truth is that there is no “one size fits all” approach, so when we have access to google and research to our hearts content, and in the overload of unprecedented resources from recipes to the latest diet craze we have become more confused than ever.

Figuring out the most nourishing diet and lifestyle for YOU isn’t easy, not to mention the emotional aspect of self-care and making life long changes can appear to be so overwhelming that you give up before you start.​

Having a Health Coach by your side to navigate choices you wish to make is like having a personal trainer at the gym. A Health Coach supports, guides, educates and empowers their client. Small easy steps is better than one giant leap. A Health Coach keeps you accountable while looking at all aspects of your life.

There are many factors that go into finding your unique balance, such as family history, personal preference, life circumstances, schedules, location, access to resources and much more. Putting it all together in a way that makes sense and allows you to thrive requires a personal and sometimes compassionate touch from someone who’s knowledgeable and supportive.

That’s where a Health Coach comes in. A Health Coach can help you sort out fact from fiction and provide you with customised information that’s relevant to you and your individual challenges and goals, and most importantly, give you the opportunity to ask questions and speak freely in a supportive environment.

Signs that you may benefit from a health coach

1. You feel like something might be off with your health but you’re not sure what it is.

If you feel like something isn’t right or you are presenting with symptoms yet going to the doctor there seems to be nothing wrong. Working with a Health Coach, we take a detailed personal health history to see if there are any indicators throughout your life that may give you the answers to your imbalance. From fatigue and low energy, to acne and digestive issues.

2. You find it hard to accomplish the goals you set to achieve.

Whether it is having trouble addressing your cravings or finding the motivation to keep up with your lifestyle. Maybe you just want to be inspired in the kitchen. A Health Coach can help you establish a structure and keep you accountable. Regular check -ins will help you be more aware of the decisions you are making, in a way that is encouraging.

3. You want to improve your diet and lifestyle, but are unsure where to begin.

One day you think vegan is a great idea, then you read about the benefits of paleo, and the day after, you are sure Mediterranean is the way to go. Sound familiar? A Health Coach can help you take the pressure off perfection and simplify things one step at a time. Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches are trained in over 100 dietary theories, and guide you towards an eating plan that works best for your mind, body and soul. 

4. You are tired of the dieting, deprivation and the feeling of frustration that comes with trying to lose weight.

If you’ve tried every diet under the sun and are fed up with feeling discouraged, a Health Coach will help reconnect to primary goals and what is preventing you from achieving them. Health isn’t just about nutrition, it is about a variety of lifestyle related challenges.

5. You are looking for more of a personal approach to health from a caring individual who has the time and your best interest at heart.

A Health Coach will create a personalised roadmap to health that prioritizes simple methods that will support you to find lasting health and happiness.
