3 things to consider when choosing a health coach...
There are lots of dodgy scammers on the internet claiming to be health coaches.
For instance, you have probably heard of the young lady to claims to have cured her own cancer, then it was found she never had cancer in the first place.
Then there is the health coach that promoted an instant migraine cure that has SOOO much potassium in it could possibly send you into cardiac arrest.
The reason i started this business was not only to help you improve your health and be able to maintain it long term, but to educate you on THE SAFE WAY of getting healthier.
3 Things to consider if you are looking for a health coach:
1.Do they do change SAFELY?(If they dont suggest a GP checkup before starting a new eating or fitness program, then you could be risking yourself harm)
2. Look at their qualifications and experience. (Is their qualification and experience relevant to what you need help with?)
3.Do they offer a quick fix? (Avoid like the plague-quick fixes are rarely achievable and sustainable and change sometimes can take multiple attempts)
Hope this helps!

How to get the Best Carer Impact Statement for your next NDIS plan: What they wont tell you
Health coaching involves working with a trained mentor and educator to make realistic health goals and maintain the motivation until you meet those goals. Whether your health goal is to improve your fitness, lose weight or eat a healthy diet, Health Coaching has been proven to be very successful in maintaining motivation and accountability to meet your goals until the new healthy behaviour becomes habit. It involves looking into the real reasons you may be sabotaging your health and working out ways to overcome those hurdles. The process involves an initial comprehensive health assessment whereby areas for improvement will be highlighted . Tests such as bloods for cholesterol levels, kidney function, liver function, thyroid function, iron levels , blood pressure and blood glucose etc will be advised, and is a good idea to have a baseline set of measurements taken.Then we will work together to develop a health goal you want to meet . Subsequent sessions are based around what has happened in the previous week. We discuss what worked well , what didnt and devise strategies to assist you to move past those obstacles. I also provide education on areas specific to your goal and ongoing motivation. I offer a FREE comprehensive health assessment and FREE no obligation first coaching session . Try it! You have nothing to lose!
