TELL THEM WHAT I DO!
Without a doubt in every IIN Mentoring coaching circle that I run, I’m asked the questions….
What do our qualifications actually mean?
What do I call myself?
Can we call ourselves a nutritionist?
Own it baby, you are a Health Coach! You are not a Nutritionist, a Naturopath or a Registered Dietician, but a card carrying member of the Health Coaching world.
Our qualifications are unique and I’m excited that I can say, after working with 200+ clients, that we have the most practical, down to earth skills that our friends, families, and anyone in our schools, sports teams, religious groups NEED this very minute. Holding our client’s hands is what helps them to change their lives for the better.
Doctor’s don’t have time to spend with their patients. Other practitioners aren’t trained to make practical changes like we are, and that’s a good thing for health coaches.
Here is a reminder of what we do that’s unique:
- We listen with a capital L, with both ears
- We educate the client about what’s really going on in the food world. Because we can’t trust the corporates or the media to have our best interests at heart. When clients understand why, they motivate themselves better.
- We design a step by step plan an hold them accountable to their actions
- We ensure the client is drinking plenty of water
- We encourage clients to eat more greens
- We add in mindfulness and gratitude
- We consider bio-individuality
- We provide interesting recipes that are easy to prepare
- WE INSPIRE
So, what are you going to say next time someone asks you what you do? Hopefully you are going to put on your brightest positive smile and OWN IT!
I may not be able to explain the Krebs Cycle in excruciating detail, (something about ADP turns into ATP for energy), but I do know that IIN gave me the skills to help others kick ass in the healthy living department. I know that without a doubt, from the core of my being.
I am so passionate about what I do. I adore seeing clients at the end of a 6 month program who have overcome their sugar addiction, or totally transformed their energy levels, or lost 10 kilos that’s totally affected their frame of mind. I want you to be thoroughly excited and convinced that Health Coaching is going to change the world. I want you to feel my passion and commitment to changing the health of this country one mindset at a time.
I look forward to the day that every doctor’s office has a health coach (or three) on staff to really implement the changes an individual needs to make, so we can avoid the epidemic of chronic diseases plaguing our country.

Love it! Go gettem. Health and wellness coaching is a growing industry because people recognise that healing takes more than a diagnosis and a prescription. Also, when we are making any change or set about achieving any sort of goal, having a cheer squad and support team is essential to a successful outcome. Not everyone has a supportive family or network of friends and even those that do, may not have access to people with the knowledge and skills to help them through.
