Wellbeing Coaching: for people who want real & sustainable health for mind & body, not gimmicks.

Life coaching  helps you identify and achieve your dreams whether at work or in life. Wellbeing coaching is more specifically about balancing everything you need to be, with being the fitter, healthier you.

Know you need to make a change, but need help?  Feel like you're swimming upstream to pull it all together?
Are you going through life change or at a point where you need to do something about your fitness, wellbeing or life balance, but the things you've tried just don't work anymore? You want to be healthier- but there are other parts of your life that are important too and they all seem to be competing for your time?

Your inner self knows that you can be stronger...you can be more.  Wellbeing coaching is an extension of personal training that focuses more on the overall patterns of your life, to help you let your inner healthy person shine. You can be fitter. You can balance your life. Being well shouldn't feel like swimming upstream. The program covers physical activity, nutritional basics, beliefs about body which may be sabotaging you, and lifestyle patterns.  A healthier bodyweight is a natural outcome of living better. You can live better, have more joy, be free of negative self-messages today.

Our cultural obsession with perfection and body image damages millions of people.  Our parallel consumer culture and information overload make healthy choice more difficult.  You can have a life that makes it easier to be your best self.

Deep down, we resent pressure to conform to someone else's standards for health and beauty.  But we still want to feel beautiful and be at peace with ourselves. We know that health risks increase when we let healthy living go, or struggle but can't seem to quite get there to make it happen. Yet, weight loss and threat of ill health are negative reasons to make change, and usually don't help a person achieve long term healthy habits.  Neither do blitz diets.  Some of those reasons might help you take yourself seriously enough to do something about it..but there is no need to waste more time and money on fad approaches or negative motivation.  Coaching is a positive approach that works with who you are, where you are at, to realistically achieve more than you have thought possible.

How it Works

What I Believe About Wellbeing Coaching

Picture
The coaching process starts with an assessment of your strengths and challenges.
We help you connect your fitness and health to your values and purpose, so you can establish patterns that are sustainable.  Wellbeing coaching can be done virtually (phone/Skype). 


Since I am also a personal trainer and sport coach, you can access 'one stop shopping' (personal training as well as the larger picture of wellbeing and lifestyle). If you already have fitness activities or a weight-loss program, we can still work together on the bigger picture while you do your other program. Wellbeing coaching is about finding the missing puzzle pieces and helping you fit the pieces together for a sustainable lifestyle. 

Setting up a lifestyle structure that supports health and fitness, or helps you reach important fitness or sport goals, can cover everything from the bigger picture of how you structure your week, to what's in your cupboard/fridge, to what you have planned in your workout.


We can focus on your health and fitness, or other aspects of life balance that mean the most to you.  We can work indoors, or outside.  Sometimes being in calming environments like nature, and using your body (such as walking or paddling) while engaging in coaching can help you become more internally connected and free your left and right hemisphere to work better together.  You also get 'two-for-one': exercise while you work on the other aspects of your self and your life plan.

I do not sell nutritional products or expensive supplements.  I believe that health and wellbeing are achievable for all budgets.  I do not push a proprietary product or activity.  I work with clients to incorporate reasonable food and activity choices that are sustainable for you. 
Also, even though I am a personal trainer, wellbeing coaching is about putting all the puzzle pieces together. If you have a workout or weight-loss program already in place, those can be accommodated in your plan.  I can do your fitness training as well (even by Skype)- which is something many life coaches who are not experienced fitness trainers or sport coaches cannot help you with. But I don't need to be your fitness trainer too. 
Often people who already have some great pieces in place as far as healthy living goes, are in a great spot for coaching because you already have a few of the puzzle pieces together and just need help with the bigger life structure picture, or deeper work on thoughts that block you from taking things to the next level. 
Maintaining a healthy body weight or a life that helps you reach your goals, should not feel like a constant battle.
Although the coaching process is an important investment at the beginning, and intensive, you are not signing on for life. My goal is to empower you not to need me.  Consumerism sells solutions that hook you.  Wellbeing frees you.
