Functional Health Coaching

Functional health coaching is a way of working with a partner to help you reach your health goals. While a doctor might tell you what is wrong, a coach helps you figure out how to make the changes needed to feel better. They focus on things like eating nutritious food, getting better sleep, and managing stress.

According to research in behavioural science, people are much more likely to stick to healthy habits when they have someone to guide and encourage them. Instead of giving you a list of rules, a coach helps you create a personalised plan that fits your life, helping you fix the "root causes" of health problems rather than just hiding the symptoms

Trauma-informed coaching is an approach that recognizes the pervasive impact of trauma on an individual's life and well-being. Unlike traditional coaching, it operates from a foundation of safety, trust, and collaboration, acknowledging that past traumatic experiences can influence a client's present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. 

This methodology is not about "fixing" trauma, but rather about creating a secure space where clients can explore their goals without triggering or retraumatizing them. By integrating principles like empowerment, choice, and cultural sensitivity, trauma-informed coaches help clients build resilience and move forward in a way that honors their unique journey, fostering growth and healing. 

Indigenous health is a holistic concept encompassing the physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural well-being of individuals and communities, deeply intertwined with their land, environment, and cultural identity. It views health as a collective, intergenerational continuum, acknowledging that historical trauma, colonization, and social inequalities significantly impact health outcomes. 

Improving health requires a strengths-based approach rooted in self-determination and control over their own health destinies, integrating traditional healing practices with culturally appropriate and accessible healthcare services.
