Making lifestyle changes can be challenging, especially when you've faced setbacks in the past.
Most of us have good intentions when it comes to improving our health and wellbeing, but when we 'go it alone', we really struggle to make long term changes.
​
Research backs this up. Making lifestyle changes without support is really hard for most of us. And when we've tried and failed repeatedly in the past, it can be hard to believe that change is even possible.
​
But, I believe that making lifestyle changes is possible with the right support, which is why I'm passionate about helping people to walk the path towards improved health and wellbeing.
​
If you want to take better care of your health and make lifestyle changes that last, I can help you.
Health Coaching with Emma-Kate
What kinds of lifestyle changes can I help with...
I'm a big believer in getting the foundations of health right as they have the biggest impact on your health and wellbeing.
Rather than following the latest wellness trends, I can help you to:
​​​
-
Sleep better to gain more energy, improve your mood, make better decisions, and be more productive!
-
Manage your stress to find more peace and calm in your life!
-
Exercise regularly to feel the amazing effects that movement has on the body and mind!
-
Eat a balanced diet to achieve lasting energy and find a healthy weight!
-
Cut down on alcohol to feel a whole host of benefits - personally and professionally!
-
Build social connections to find more joy and meaning in your life!
​
That being said, as a coach, I take a wide-lens view of health so am able to help you to make any lifestyle changes that you feel will improve your physical and mental wellbeing.

Why I believe we all struggle with lifestyle changes...
Even though there's more health information available than ever before, everyday we make choices that aren't aligned with what we say we really want - to live a healthier life.
​
Let's be honest, we've all stayed up way too late bingeing on Netflix, consoled ourselves with food, or struggled to get up on a winter's morning to get a workout in...I get it. I've been there too.
It's not that we don't know what we need to do but we let our thoughts, feelings, and our environment, dictate how we act 'in the moment', rather than making choices based on what we truly value - our health and wellbeing.
But, I believe you don't need to allow your thoughts and feelings, or your environment, control the choices you make.
You can learn new ways to relate to your thoughts and feelings - ways that empower you to make the kinds of healthy choices that align with your values and allow you to be the person you want to be. You can change your environment to optimise your chances of success.

And I'd love to help you do it!

Chinese Proverb
Can't an app help me to do the same thing?
In a word, no. In a world dominated by technology, I believe personalised, human support is precious and offers you so much more than an app ever can!
​
As your coach, I provide:
​
Accountability
It might sound obvious, but the reason long-term lifestyle changes are so difficult without support is due to a lack of accountability. Although I bring a gentle and nurturing approach to coaching, I will hold you accountable for following through on the actions you decide to take on your health journey.
Guidance and Expertise
Beyond my education and training as a psychologist and coach, I have worked with a wide range of clients in the area of behaviour change for more than 15 years so you can feel confident that I have the knowledge and skills to support you on your journey.
​
Personalised Support
You've walked a unique journey through life. Therefore the approach we take to improving your health and wellbeing needs to be tailored to your life circumstances and needs.
​
Encouragement
One of the most important roles I have as a coach is providing you with support and encouragement on your health journey. I will believe in you, even when you don't.
​
Understanding
Because I have the lived experience of making significant lifestyle changes, I know how hard it can be. Being able to empathise and understand your struggles means you will feel seen, heard, and cared about when I am your coach.
