Benefits of health coaching

Anna, UK

The initial consultation inspired me to begin small steps straight way. The coaching plan that Joanne created reflected our conversation exactly and there was nothing unexpected or difficult on there. I put everything on the coaching plan into practice and literally within 2 weeks it felt an easy part of my routine and I began to feel stretchier, stronger and also more awake and alert than I did before. The alertness was a surprise, but this helped me be more focused and continue to be enthusiastic about the plan.

After one month:
It has now been a month since I started the plan and I’ve lost 10lbs! I haven't been this weight since 2019. I have really noticed that I have lost most of the belly fat and I feel so much lighter. I can really feel that I am carrying less. Being lighter is helping me be more active. I am clearly much more flexible and stronger than I have been for years. My core is getting stronger and I can feel it when I walk up stairs, get in and out of the car, up and down from a chair - simple things that felt harder just a few weeks ago.

After 6 months:

6 months on and I am a stable and healthy 8 and a half stone – one stone lighter than I was at the initial consultation. I am still following the diet and exercise guidance and this seems to keep me stretchy and pain free. My energy is definitely better than 6 months ago and this makes me more effective at home and work.

It has been an enormous help having your plan to keep me in mind of what I do each day. Thank you so much.

Joanne has transformed my outlook on my health and I’m feeling so much more optimistic about my future health after our sessions.

She skillfully reframed how I thought about my bad health habits and came up with good suggestions for replacing these habits with new, healthier, ones.

Joanne’s coaching plan was easy to follow and our discussions helped me to understand why each small step was important. I found exploring the root causes of what I was experiencing was fascinating, and giving me the underpinning knowledge of how my body works helped to keep me motivated and committed to change.

I now no longer crave energy drinks or sweet snacks all through the afternoon! I have more energy and my sleep has improved. I also feel that my digestion has improved and I’m feeling less bloated and sluggish.

I have discovered a new way of life and I’m sticking with it!

Joanne has made a majorly positive impact on the quality of my life in various areas.

I have spent most of my life filled with anxiety, which could be, at times all-consuming and debilitating.  Joanne discussed certain issues that were affecting me and offered some alternative approaches to the problems which were helpful, but more importantly she subtly got me to look at the attitudes that had got me to this place, and offered an alternative, and more positive approach which I will take with me in the future.

Joanne's approach was positive and gentle, and I found that I was able to discuss matters that I would not normally speak to someone else about.

I have since, faced some major fears with positive outcomes!

With regards to my physical health, Joanne has provided helpful suggestions to address my poor diet and lifestyle that can be tackled with gradual changes that don't overwhelm me, and I see the sense in this and have been easily able to implement her suggestions.

Joanne has a great depth of knowledge on a broad range of topics.  Her open nature and quiet humour makes it easy to relate to her.  She takes the time to listen to people without making assumptions,  She is very positive and relatable which helps to build trust to take onboard her suggestions and makes me feel that I am in good hands.

Thank you Joanne, you really have made a difference for me!
