What is Health Coaching?

As the client, you select your own focus areas and your Health Coach will offer evidence-based treatment options, information, guidance and a framework to best suit your needs.

Health Coaching comes with a multitude of benefits. Some of these include:
- Increased confidence in your ability to make successful behaviour changes
- Increased motivation to make long term changes
- Greater knowledge and skills to maintain positive changes and continue to improve health
- Improved health and reduction in chronic disease risks
What is Involved?
- A series of one-on-one personalised health coaching sessions
- Programs of three, six or twelve months with support from Shivaun via face-to-face, phone and email
- Support to help you achieve your long term health goals with a personally tailored program suited to your needs and lifestyle
