My journey to becoming a Health Coach began with my own battle with colitis. I can confidently say that I am not only a more effective coach but also a better human being as a whole. My belief and confidence in myself are currently sky-high. I now have a solid plan in place for my practice and am on a mission to help others with IBD to achieve better lives.

"HEALTH COACHING HAS BEEN THE PERFECT ADDITION TO MY SKILLSET."

Having done several yoga teacher training courses and a course for professional organising, Health Coaching has been the perfect addition to my skillset. This course has exceeded my expectations and taught me a lot about myself and how to support others. It has helped me to grow in all areas of my life and I have learnt valuable skills to move myself and others forward to achieve health and life goals.

"I've learnt a huge amount through this course - not just about coaching, health and nutrition, but also about my own resilience, persistence and dedication to self-improvement. I've improved my approach to diet and nutrition immeasurably and have used some of my learnings on prioritisation and understanding my own values and motivation I’m so excited about what I can achieve, who I can help, and reaching my full potential."

"For many years I felt stuck, lacking a sense of purpose. Practicing as an attorney was anxiety provoking and didn't feel natural to me. I opted to be a stay at home mum instead but I was extremely restless and yearned to have my own business and financial independence. This course has renewed my sense of purpose and led me on a journey of self discovery. I feel energetic and excited to begin this new chapter of my life."

 BRIGITTE, 2021 GRADUATE

"I NOW HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS WITH MY PARTNER"

When I started the course, I had spent 4 years, post retirement from a 30 year career in policing, recovering from a potentially life limiting illness and trying to find my new purpose. It has without doubt, helped me to 'find my mojo' again. I now have a successful business with my partner helping others to transform their health and wellbeing and I feel that I am 'where I belong'.
