YOUR COACH
Functional Health & Behaviour Change Coach
NBC-HWC | HCANZA | FMCA-trained
I help women, people with disabilities, and carers who feel stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed improve their metabolic and brain health — and regain the confidence, structure, and self-trust they need to feel well again. My approach is designed to fit real life, not perfect conditions.
I’m not only a coach. I’m also an educator and facilitator. Alongside my coaching work, I bring nearly five years of experience working alongside people with disabilities and their support networks, and partnering with community organisations to deliver trauma-informed programs and group education.
This experience has deeply shaped how I coach and reinforces my belief that effective change must be practical, inclusive, and grounded in everyday reality.
Many of my clients are dealing with fatigue, stress, brain fog, cravings, sleep disruption, weight changes, or low motivation — often while juggling work, caring responsibilities, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. They’ve usually tried “healthy plans” before, but the changes didn’t stick because the plan didn’t fit their lifestyle, capacity, or circumstances.
My work sits at the intersection of functional health, behaviour change coaching, and leadership/life skills training. That means I don’t just talk about what to do — I help you build the mindset, routines, and practical systems that make change sustainable.
How I work
My work integrates functional health principles with evidence-based behaviour change coaching, helping you rebuild energy, clarity, and sustainable routines. I use a structured, program-based approach, while staying flexible and responsive to your capacity, needs, and lived experience — so progress feels realistic, supportive, and achievable.
I focus on:
Lifestyle foundations for metabolic + brain health: food, movement, sleep, stress, connection, and purpose
Behaviour change that sticks: Motivational Interviewing, stages of change, strengths-based coaching
Life leadership skills that create “healthy capacity”: goal setting, time management, problem solving, and boundaries
One of my signature approaches is building food confidence through simple, practical cooking strategies. Food is often one of the biggest barriers to sustainable health, so we make it doable without overwhelm, restriction, or unrealistic expectations.
Clients often tell me that the biggest outcome of our work together isn’t just improved health, it’s regaining trust in themselves, feeling capable again, and knowing how to move forward with confidence.
If you’re ready for change that fits your real life, you’re welcome to explore my services or reach out to discuss the best next step.
HOW A HEALTH COACH CAN HELP
Health coaching provides personalised support to help you make meaningful changes to your health and wellbeing in a way that fits your life, capacity, and priorities.
As your coach, I support you with:
1) Clarity and goal setting
I help you to define goals that are realistic, motivating, and aligned with what matters most to you; especially when you feel tired, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.
2) Practical education (without overwhelm)
You’ll receive relevant, evidence-informed guidance on lifestyle foundations such as food, movement, sleep, stress, connection, and purpose. So you can make informed choices with confidence.
3) Behaviour change that sticks
Using approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based coaching, and the stages of change, I support you to turn intentions into consistent habits without perfectionism.
4) Accountability and momentum
Regular check-ins, tracking, and problem-solving help you stay on course, learn from setbacks, and keep building progress over time.
5) Support, encouragement, and real-life strategy
You’ll have a supportive space to work through barriers, build self-trust, and develop practical systems that make change sustainable — not just possible.
At its core, coaching is about personal responsibility with unconditional support. You won’t be told what to do or judged if things feel hard. Instead, you’ll build self-awareness, confidence, and self-efficacy and discover solutions that work for your body, your life, and your goals.
What is a Functional Medicine Health Coach?
A Functional Medicine Health Coach is a coach trained in functional medicine principles who helps you create sustainable lifestyle changes by looking at the whole picture — not just symptoms.
Instead of focusing on quick fixes, functional medicine takes a root-cause, systems-based approach. Coaching helps you turn that approach into daily actions you can actually follow through on.
How this is different from general health coaching
Functional medicine coaching is especially helpful if you:
feel tired, foggy, or “not yourself” and don’t know where to start
have tried diets or plans before but nothing has really stuck
are navigating ongoing health challenges and want a more personalised approach
want to improve metabolic health, brain health, energy, sleep, cravings, and resilience through realistic lifestyle strategies
What I do (and what I don’t do)
As a Functional Medicine Health Coach, I support you to:
clarify goals and priorities based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and capacity
build sustainable habits around food, movement, sleep, stress, connection, and purpose
strengthen consistency using evidence-based behaviour change methods
stay accountable and supported, especially when life is busy or overwhelming
