What people have said

"Just wanted to let you know that the seeds you planted have taken root. I joined a gym in December and have been going regularly. In addition to improving my general wellness, I am trying to build up my fitness for a trekking trip I am doing in China in the middle of the year. Once again, thanks for your coaching series - I got a lot out of it."

"Before working with Fiona I was pretty down on my whole life. I was a housewife, overweight part time fitness instructor & sports administrator. My life was overwhelmingly busy and I battled to achieve much, more due to lack of enthusiasm and confidence than anything. Fiona worked through the obstacles with me and taught me to set long term and short term goals which as I slowly achieve each one gives me confidence in my ability to do the things I can do and to accept the things I don’t without the guilt. As far as diet and exercise went I wanted to make a lifestyle change because I knew this would be permanent in helping me maintain the weight I wanted to be. Using a slow but steady weight loss program and listening to my body I have been able to lose 6 kilos in the past couple of months, which I am totally wrapped about. I am very thankful for Fiona’s help for pointing me in the right direction, when I see myself ‘falling of the wagon’ I mentally recall her words of wisdom putting myself back on track.
Thank you Fiona for everything you have done for me."
Carolyn Lucas

“Even though I’ve worked in the health industry for over ten years and helped many clients succeed in improving the quality of their lives I seemed to be in a ‘rut’ when defining my own goals and desires. Since having a child and then moving interstate I hadn’t seemed to be able to ‘get the ball rolling’ again.
Though my coaching sessions with Fiona I was able to set realistic but exciting goals for myself and produce more, in terms of achieving both personal and business goals, than I have been able to in the past 2 years. I now feel happier, more content and motivated with my direction than I have felt for a long time.
I am disappointed that our sessions have finished and I can’t wait to speak with her again to tell her what I’ve achieved.
Thanks very much Fiona!”

Individual Wellness Coaching Program

Corporate Health Programs are an integral part of any valued organisation's staff benefits. Providing an executive health check is not enough to create change. Unfavourable results can actually increase stress levels in team members. Interventions need to be available to help address any health issues.

Group Wellness Coaching Programs

Wellness Coaching can be delivered in a group format and be highly effective and motivating because of the unique dynamics and energy that are created. A 6-12 week program called “Coach yourself to Wellness” is a time efficient way of delivering health strategies to many. This program builds on the workshop that is described in a prior page.
The program uses colourful and readable materials and provides a text and workbook that will help participants record their goals and their progress. Creating a vision of where you would like to be is the first step. Examining barriers and coming up with strategies is the next. Identifying individual strengths and determining what behaviours are important and immediate to change is essential.
A plan is then developed and weekly accountability and support forms part of the structure. The delivery method can be varied to fit the group's needs.
You can help your team achieve optimal wellness by offering this program, increase staff morale across the board and stand out as an employer who truly cares about the health of his or her organisation.
