Do you find it easy to set goals, but difficult to initiate, sustain or achieve them? Or are you one of the many people who know exactly what you would like to achieve, you know what to do but you lack the tools to get there? Most people try to rely on one-size-fits-all plans and products only to realise that they are not designed to last. You are not alone!
Change is hard!! The majority of us have great information, we often know what to do, but we just don’t know how to change, or what gets us stuck, what to shift and how to sustain those shifts.
A health coach is a behaviour change specialist. Dr Chris Kresser describes a well-trained Health Coach as a “Behaviour Change Ninja”.
A functional medicine health coach is well versed with knowledge about nutrition, movement, lifestyle, and the unique impact that each of these elements has on your mental, emotional, and general health and wellbeing. However, their understanding of the interplay of all these elements for your health does not limit them to just being able to equip you with good knowledge. Change requires more than just good information. More significantly, a functional medicine health coach has expertise in human behaviour, motivation, and is equipped with cutting-edge, science-based behaviour change methods. Claudette’s additional knowledge of and expertise from her Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology together with over twenty years of practice as a psychologist have brought an additional wealth of skill in providing empathy and support to the client-coach relationship. She understands how habits are formed, and how to shift these and has the skills as well as practical tools and techniques to help you overcome the barriers and obstacles that hold you back so that you can achieve consistency and lasting transformation.
