COACHING SERVICES
FUNCTIONAL HEALTH & LIFESTYLE COACH
As a Functional Health Coach we are trained professionals in human behaviour, motivation and physical health.
​
We are ‘changing agents’ who assist our clients in setting and achieving their health goals and to build new habits. We use the body's natural design and align with circadian rhythms to optimise health and lifestyle. This approach is based on science and facts not fads and fiction.
WELLNESS COACH
As a Wellness Coach we are a type of health care professional who support our clients in the ongoing process of determining the desired wellness goals through nutrition, movement, sleep, rest and recovery as well regeneration and stress management. Typically, we thus assist and mentor our clients with their physical, mental and emotional health through holistic and functional lifestyle choices and changes.
A CLIENT CENTRED APPROACH
Functional Health and Wellness coaches use a client centred approach. We act as partners, facilitators, mentors and support our clients in taking action. We thus achieve goals based upon the client’s ideas, interests and experiences. Instead of the coach being the expert in the coaching relationship, the client takes the role of the expert. Clients know their bodies, their lives and what worked well (or not) for them in the past. Due to my own experience and qualifications as a health care practitioner with decades of interest and expertise, I am able to guide and walk with my clients through the process. Attaining the results which they wish to achieve. It entails a little bit of education, training and advice and a lot of support and accountability.
WHAT A COACH OFFERS?
We provide strategies, perspective, techniques and skills to help unleash and unlock your most valuable and full potential. We assist our clients in identifying their personal and individualized goals and thru establishing a trusted rapport, we design an individualized plan that will effectively lead our clients to success and attain their desired goals and aspirations.
We fully understand that you are the expert in your life with an innate ability to fulfil your potential, strength, wisdom and ability. To achieve new heights and attain the clients’ own goals and dreams, we assist in identifying the possible limitations and restrictions and guide and support strategies to smash thru them all.
Coaching is thus about discovery, and harnessing and expanding on our strengths, skills, tools and patterns.
BOOK YOUR COACHING SESSIONS
Each one -on one session is of 60 min duration and is done virtually in the comfort of your home or office. Add on’s, emails, worksheets and homework may be included, to facilitate greater success. A 15-30 min session with me to assess if we are a good match shall be available.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Coaching provides several benefits for clients. Many clients take action which they never had considered possible. They overcome hurdles which they thought may have been unsurmountable and become ‘unstuck’. Some may see a shift in their mindset that permits them to take an important and vital next step. Others may discover how to create and make lasting lifestyle changes after years of cycles of success and failures.

Why Life, Health and Wellness Coaching
In the latter years of my 25 years of clinical practice in Physiotherapy, inspite of the passion and purpose fulfilling career as a ‘hands on’ approach (pun intended) as a health practitioner, a simple fact and theme continued to be evident -“Knowing really is not half the battle”. This is known as the GI Joe Fallacy (coined by Professor Laurie Santos and Tamar Gendler at Yale University, 2014) The premise being that inspite of having the knowledge on how to be happier, healthier and establishing personal goals and aspirations, this does not necessarily result in the person making any of these changes. One requires committing to them and then actioning them. Bazinga ….An accountability partner and coach to facilitate, guide and support this desired and necessary change with an actionable plan which inevitably leads to attainment of successful goals and improved overall well-being.
For transformation, I fully understand that individuals new to coaching and therapy need to feel heard, valued, safe and understood and with my experience and skills I provide my clients with evidence based theories and frameworks and the knowledge and assurance that they shall receive a professional and trustworthy service.
To aid my own life journey and strengthen my professional service and expertise, I continue to train and attend relevant courses and keep abreast with current science, research and developments.
