Do you need a health coach?
Do you need a health coach?
A health coach is someone who educates and supports clients to achieve their health goals through lifestyle and behaviour adjustments.
I currently have spaces available and am looking for new clients. You can choose to work with me for 3 or 6 months and we catch up fortnightly. We set goals that are specific to you and work towards achieving those over the time frame you choose. It does take time to make sustainable changes which is why the programmes I offer are for that length of time.
* You may want to loose some weight for next summer and keep the weight off. How many people have dieted and then have piled the weight back on after the diet has finished?
* You may want to learn how to cook more nutritiously and include more vegetables into your diet.
* You may just want to know how to cook quick and nutritious meals to cut down on the amount of processed food you consume.
* You may want to know what to do to avoid the chocolate snack or sugary treat at the 3pm slump.
* You may be constantly tired and are not sure what to do about it.
* You may want to exercise more but don't know where to start. I can help you work out what types of exercise are right for you and can help you to work out where you can slot exercise into your day.
* You may not be sleeping well and don't know why.
* You may just want to get out and meet more people and make new friends but don't know where to start.
* You may just want someone to talk to who can empathise and listen.
Doctors are great for diagnosing and treating the symptoms of the issue.
Health coaches work to find out the real root cause of the issue and work with you to treat that which will then affect the symptoms. They usually spend a lot longer with you and tailor make programmes that suit you, beautiful you.
Appointment times to suit you......initial health history is complimentary.

"Sports and travelling run in the family, and that's kind of what's led me to come to New Zealand."
"I grew up in a small town in Finland. My dad was involved with sports all his life, he was a shot putter, discus thrower, powerlifter, we traveled quite a bit when I was a kid. He never mentioned much of the rugby days. He just said he broke both of his shin bones playing rugby, so he said, ‘never play the sport, It's crazy.’
I started playing when I was 18. I played my first cap for the Finnish national team in 2014, we won the Finnish championship with my club. Rugby is not a big thing in Finland.
I moved here to play rugby in 2017. The club that wanted me to come over was Methven Rugby Club. They got me here and they were like, ‘what do you do for work? I’d just finished chef school in Finland. ‘We'll get you a job at Mount Hutt as a chef, you can do that while you play rugby with us.’ I said, ‘Perfect. Yeah, I'm in’.
I've always loved food. My mum was an amazing cook, and still is. When I was studying tourism I worked in some hotels in Finland, and I saw how the chef's worked. I just loved the kitchen vibe and I was like, Yeah, that’d be something I'd love to do.
I've had more of a culinary journey In New Zealand than in Finland. I started at Mount Hutt, after that I worked at The Dubliner in Methven. I worked as a senior pizza chef at Sal’s for maybe six months then worked as chef de partie at Cellar Door. At Eliza's Manor, I worked myself up to a junior sous chef. Then the opportunity came to work my first head chef job at Moon Under Water.
We're privileged to have a busy atmosphere, we can try new things and get a bit creative. There are no TV’s, just come here with your family or with your mates, play board games, to socialise.
I really want to drive the local food and ingredients through the menu. We don't mind spending more for quality ingredients as long as it's supporting New Zealand businesses. We just love to use local. And it's pub food, but I feel like it's elevated.
I play club rugby here for the Christchurch Football Club, the oldest club in New Zealand and I still play regularly for the Finnish national team, whenever they can fly me over to play."
