Do you need a health coach?

A health coach is someone who educates and supports clients to achieve their health goals through lifestyle and behaviour adjustments.

I currently have spaces available and am looking for new clients. You can choose to work with me for 3 or 6 months and we catch up fortnightly. We set goals that are specific to you and work towards achieving those over the time frame you choose. It does take time to make sustainable changes which is why the programmes I offer are for that length of time.

* You may want to loose some weight for next summer and keep the weight off. How many people have dieted and then have piled the weight back on after the diet has finished?

* You may want to learn how to cook more nutritiously and include more vegetables into your diet.

* You may just want to know how to cook quick and nutritious meals to cut down on the amount of processed food you consume.

* You may want to know what to do to avoid the chocolate snack or sugary treat at the 3pm slump.

* You may be constantly tired and are not sure what to do about it.

* You may want to exercise more but don't know where to start. I can help you work out what types of exercise are right for you and can help you to work out where you can slot exercise into your day.

* You may not be sleeping well and don't know why.

* You may just want to get out and meet more people and make new friends but don't know where to start.

* You may just want someone to talk to who can empathise and listen.

Doctors are great for diagnosing and treating the symptoms of the issue.

Health coaches work to find out the real root cause of the issue and work with you to treat that which will then affect the symptoms. They usually spend a lot longer with you and tailor make programmes that suit you, beautiful you.

Appointment times to suit you......initial health history is complimentary.

Having a poor night’s sleep?

Over the past 12 months, residents and staff here at Alpine View have been fundraising to raise money for St John Christchurch.

This week we were delighted to handover a total donation of $21,044.70.

Thank you to all residents and staff at Alpine View as well as the greater local community for getting involved and helping us support this great cause.

Residents and staff vote on a charity to support each year so we are all in agreement. St John was a huge standout and won by overwhelming majority, being a company that everyone needs at some point in their life, we were thrilled to get behind them.

It's been a busy year with a huge range of fundraising events and activities including a garden and craft sale, music concerts, staff car wash and, most recently, Tour de Alpine - our fundraising bike-a-thon. As promised, at the end of the 12 months, Alpine View Management matched the amount raised taking our grand total over $21k!
