A little bit more about how we work

Hi, I’m Nia, and I’m a metabolic health coach.

You might wonder what that means and how I work - to be perfectly honest whenever someone asks me what I do and I tell them they usually respond with a blank face! That’s ok - it’s a relatively new field but I can guarantee it is both necessary and effective.

In a nutshell, my role is to empower you to take back control of your health, whatever that means to you.

I am not going to give you a meal plan, an exercise routine, or sell you products to reduce your stress or help you sleep. I am not going to pretend that there is a magic potion that holds all the answers to your health and well-being - because there isn’t.

I am not selling a tangible product, and I understand that this can be daunting as you aren’t quite sure what you are going to get.

What I can tell you is that health is a complex and multifactorial thing. Almost everybody wants to be healthy, and is willing to put in some work to get there. Some want to do more than others, and that’s ok. We are working to improve your health, not someone else's.

I can also tell you that ‘nothing changes if nothing changes’ - not a hard concept, but never truer than in a health setting. You can want to be the person who runs a marathon - but you will never achieve it unless you take those first small steps and run around the block.

There’s so much more to your health than the numbers on the scale, or what clothes size you wear, but so much of what we see around us targets this. You can’t change the genes you were born with, but you can make small changes that allow you to live better with the hand you’ve been dealt.

How well you feel is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. I can’t make the changes for you, but I can help you shine a light on different areas of your life, and work out what to tackle first, one small sustainable step at a time.

The steps you put in place to find what works for you will be as unique as you are - but they have long-lasting and far-reaching results.

If you want to take the first steps towards improving your health and you are willing to be supported, encouraged, challenged, and empowered - perhaps health coaching is the missing piece of the puzzle you’ve been looking for?
