FAQs - The Holistic Health Coach

Q: Do I need to be fit to join a walk?

Not at all. These are gentle, inclusive walks — not fitness sessions. You can go at your own pace, and there’s no expectation to keep up or push yourself.

Q: What if I feel anxious or awkward?

That’s completely OK. A lot of women who come along feel exactly the same beforehand. There’s no pressure to talk, share, or be “on.” You can take things at your own pace — whether that’s chatting, listening, or just being there.

Q: Do I need to know anyone before coming?

Not at all. Most women come on their own the first time. You won’t be the only one feeling a bit unsure — and you definitely won’t be the only one walking in without knowing anyone. Everyone is welcomed in a way that feels natural, not forced.

Q: What can I expect the programme to actually involve?

We start with a private welcome session — your health history, your first MYMOP measurement, and your goals, set together. From there, six weeks follow a clear structure (in group or 1:1 format), with real outcome tracking throughout, so you're never just hoping something's working. You can read the full breakdown on the programme pages linked below.

Q: Where are you based and can I work with you remotely?

I'm based between Bristol and Bath in South West England. The Nervous System Recalibration Programme is delivered fully online, so you can join from anywhere in the UK. I'm also available for in-person workshops and events regionally — get in touch for details.

Q: Do you diagnose problems and illnesses?

No, I can't and don't. If you need a formal diagnosis, I'll refer you to your GP. If anything you share raises a genuine concern, I'll suggest the same. On rare occasions, with your consent, I may contact your GP directly if I have a significant concern about your health or wellbeing.

Q: Can I just book a single session with you, rather than a full programme?

Not any more, and it's a deliberate choice. Everything I offer now is structured as a programme rather than individual bookings — the Nervous System Recalibration Programme, available in group or 1:1 format. It lets me build in proper outcome tracking (using MYMOP, a clinically validated measure) and consistent support from start to finish, rather than scattered one-off sessions. If you've already completed a programme and want occasional support afterwards, that's available separately as aftercare — just ask.

Q: What is a Health Coach's scope of work?

I help clients fully understand their own health and the root cause of any conditions diagnosed by a qualified professional, and support them to become genuinely confident managing their own health day to day. That includes co-creating realistic goals, giving guidance on nutrition and lifestyle, and referring on to the right professional whenever something sits outside what coaching can address.
