During the first phone call you’ll spend up to 30 minutes talking with your health coach about how the Better Health Coaching Service works and what your health and wellbeing goals are right now.
Your coach will also use this call to find out more about you! This will include questions about the food you usually eat, and how much exercise you do, any medical conditions you may have or medications you take.
All coaching calls are confidential.
While participating in the program you will have up to 9 follow up calls with your coach. You can complete the calls weekly or fortnightly, whichever option works best for you. In total you will have 10 coaching calls over 6 months.
These calls will usually be up to 30 minutes long. During these calls you and your coach will set some health goals that you want to work on, and talk about the sorts of things you can do to achieve them.
To help with this build a range of skills, your coach will work to support you to develop a range of skills relating to:
Finding (and keeping) motivation for forming healthy habits.
Different foods and drink and the nutrition they provide for our bodies.
The importance of being active, reducing screen time and getting enough sleep.
How our environment, thoughts, and feelings influence our habits.
How to eat mindfully so mealtimes are social, structured and enjoyable.
How to make more informed
choices at the supermarket.
How to portion a balanced
meal with a variety of foods
and meal plan.
How to problem solve tricky
situations that will get in the way
of forming healthy habits.
In your final call in the Better Health Coaching Service, your coach will spend some time with you reflecting on the health changes that you’ve made since starting the program, as well as the support that you might need after the program ends to keep up with those healthy changes.
Guidance for your family that is backed by research and evidence.
Useful resources to help you understand and practice program lessons.
Positive habits to help you live well now and in to the future.
