From Police Officer to Health Coach
Alanna shares why she chose to study health coaching with HCA.
"This course has been a life changing experience for me."
“There’s so much more to it than diet and coaching. I was very unhappy in the hospitality industry so I quit my job and went for it. I am now combining my Health Coaching practice with Yoga, collaborating with a Health Shop to deliver wellbeing talks and helping people to change their lives through personalised sessions. I absolutely love it!”
Monique
"This journey!! wow. I don't even know where to start"
"Biggest thing for me is personal growth and the personal health journey for me. I am 10 steps up from the person I was last year! The satisfaction you get from working with people being able to be that facilitator for change has been so satisfying for me and seeing the results has been life changing. A beautiful amazing journey. Thank you."
