Imagine your health as a puzzle. Each piece represents something important; eating well, staying active, managing stress, and staying connected with family and friends. But putting all these pieces together? That’s where health coaching comes in.
At Better Health Company, health coaching is one of our core services. Whether you’re receiving health coaching as part of a structured health program or as a stand-alone service, our health coaches are here to support and guide you. They take the overwhelming health advice you may receive from your doctor, specialist, or other health professionals and turn it into practical, achievable steps. The goal? That one day, you won’t need a health coach. You’ll have the tools and confidence to piece together your health puzzle on your own.
A person-centred approach
Our coaching approach is all about you. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach because we know that health is deeply personal. Our health coaches work with individuals and families to set goals that matter to them, ensuring that changes fit seamlessly into their lives.
Our team is made up of highly qualified health professionals, including dietitians, exercise physiologists, psychologists, social workers, and physiotherapists. But more than that, they’re specialists in behaviour change. Every health coach at Better Health Company completes our rigorous Health Coach Training Program, accredited by the Health Coaches Association of Australia and New Zealand (HCANZA). This means they’re not just knowledgeable about health, they’re skilled in helping people navigate daily life barriers to put their health goals into action.
What to expect from a Health Coaching session
All our health coaching sessions are delivered via phone, making it easy and accessible for you. At the time of your appointment, your health coach will give you a call. If it’s your first session, they’ll start by getting to know you asking about your health, your goals, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past.
One of the most important things to know is that your health coach won’t tell you what to do. Instead, you’ll work together to create a plan that fits your life. Most people already know what they should be doing, it’s the how that’s tricky. If you prefer a more structured approach, our team can also provide health education, tailored resources, and fact sheets to support you. And if you need extra support beyond coaching, we’re well connected with community services and can refer you to the right resources.
The impact of Health Coaching
The real magic of health coaching happens in the small wins that build up over time. In our family health coaching sessions, we often hear from parents that their children are more willing to try new healthy foods, that mealtimes are more enjoyable, and that they’re packing healthier lunchboxes. Families tell us they’re spending more time being active together, building habits that will last a lifetime.
For adults, health coaching can be life changing. Many of our clients have told us that after working with a health coach, they found it easier to make sustainable healthy changes. Because we start small, and nothing is ever out of reach. We’ve seen people go from rarely cooking to preparing healthy packed lunches for work. Others who struggled to find time for exercise have learned to add just 5-10 minutes of movement into their day, leading to big improvements over time.
Ready to take the next step?
Health coaching is about more than just advice. It’s about support, encouragement, and working together to make lasting changes. No matter where you are on your health journey, our health coaches are here to help you take the next step. Because when it comes to your health, every piece of the puzzle matters and you don’t have to put it together alone.
