Free Health Coaching
We have two free services available through the clinic to help you prioritise your mental and physical health, and overall wellbeing.
Meet our Health & Wellness team
Just like a sports coach, a health coach is there to give you the tools, knowledge and support to achieve your health goals. Health Coaching is especially useful for people with long-term health conditions who might need ongoing support and guidance to make positive lifestyle changes.
Waimaria is our Health Improvement Practitioner. She looks at the development of wellbeing through a mental health-based approach. Waimaria works in conjunction with your doctor to create a plan, providing support through regular or individual sessions. She is available for both virtual and in-person consultations.
Elena is our Health Coach. She has a focus on motivation, behaviour and lifestyle changes, and works closely with the Health Improvement Practitioner to support your health & wellbeing needs. Your health coaching appointment can be provided in-clinic, in the community or she can visit you at home.
How to book an appointment
You may be referred to the health coach or health improvement practitioner by your GP, or you can ring reception to book an appointment.
