What is weight loss coaching? How does it work?

Weight loss coaching is about shedding those unwanted kilos that are difficult to shift.  I’m a little different from a personal trainer or a nutritionist/dietician.  We won’t focus on exercise and food at first.  We’ll focus on getting your mind exactly where it needs to be.  This requires an element of therapy and counselling and possibly some hypnotherapy (if you’re up for it).  We’ll look at obstacles in your life, patterns that you run, your schedule and finding time for the most important person in the world….you.  Mindfulness, sleep education and relaxation are a major component of an outcome.  There will be a time to address education around eating nutritious food and implementing movement in your life.  As a personal trainer I will support you with exercise programs, ideas for building lean muscle and scheduling exercise (finding time) in your busy life.

What is parent coaching? How old do my children need to be to attend parent coaching?

I coach parents to be better parents.  I giggle at the number of parents who put their children into therapy without helping themselves first.  Often when parents put their children into therapy the parent can be running the same problematic patterns as the child or young person without realising it.  When working with the child only, the therapy may or may not work and if it does work it may only work for a limited time.  As a parent you are your child’s greatest role model.  If you can learn to model and teach positive processes, then you are ultimately setting your children up for success.   I can coach parents of any age – parents of newborns and toddlers, children, adolescents, and young adults.

What is therapist/coaches coaching? Do I need to be a therapist or coach first?

I can coach you to be the best therapist or coach for your clients through mentoring and education.  I can provide you with resources and help you create resources for your clinic.  I can also help you set up your clinic, terms and conditions, fees, systems and processes and legal requirements.  My goal is to create a structure for your clinic so that you can be present for your clients and build and develop your clinic so that you can live your desired lifestyle.  I am also a self-taught NDIS expert and have taught many coaches how to generate an income in this field which I love to share with my clients.

What is ADD/ADHD Coaching?

As an ADD/ADHD coach I provide education and strategies to help you develop the systems and practices that enable you to perform the tasks and activities you want to complete in an organised way. You’ll develop skills in planning, organising and time management to minimise the impact of ADD/ADHD symptoms. Because ADD/ADHD is a disorder that affects the executive functioning part of your brain (the part responsible for goal setting, planning, and keeping everything on track so you can complete projects and tasks in a timely fashion) I help you with tools (and therapy if needed) to make sure you can get the most important things done. You’ll do the work, but I will provide support and a framework for you to learn practical ways to manage your life effectively, without diminishing the aspects of ADD/ADHD that make you uniquely you.

What is Disability Coaching?

As your disability coach I work one on one with you to create and develop workable strategies so you can achieve every day tasks and goals you set for yourself more easily. My aim is to learn about you and discover how to assist in positive ways that honor and respect your independence, empowering you to make your own informed choices and decisions. I can also assist you in finding and creating additional relationships and services in the community if needed, so you can establish independence from paid services if you so choose. We’ll meet together, you’ll tell me what you want and need from the coaching relationship, and together we’ll map out a plan that best serves you right now.
