About Women's Health Coaching
Women's health coaching provides a vital (and too often missing) layer of support, combined with specialist knowledge in women's holistic health, so that you can make lasting diet, lifestyle, and behaviour changes. It provides practical and emotional support to give you the power to change your health.
​
We will start by getting a holistic picture of what is going on for you as an individual, as well as building a vision of health that captures where you would like to be.
As your coach, I’ll guide and support you on your very own personalised journey to wellbeing. I’m really interested in a bio-individualised approach to food, diet and lifestyle – I don’t teach a one-size-fits-all approach. This process is about really understanding YOU and your needs. As your coach, I’m here to hold you accountable so that change can happen, and to hold the space for you to find the best next steps to wellness.
One of my mantras is “Test, don’t guess” and I integrate the best of functional testing into my approach so that we can really figure out what’s the best approach for you, right now. The right lab tests provide important information about what’s going on for you, sometimes avoiding years of trial and error. Addressing the root cause of what’s going on, and addressing your unique physiology is essential to reclaiming and maintaining optimal health and vitality at any age. Rather than turn to medications that simply mask the problems and can actually make things worse, my approach is to take a holistic view. I believe deeply in the power of food and nutrition to heal.
