FAQ

What will working with you look like, how do you approach health coaching?
When you work with me, we start by assessing your current situation: your gut (symptoms, diet, microbiome clues), your hormone signals (energy, cycles, moods, sleep), your lifestyle & nervous system habits (stress load, sleep, movement, rest). Then we co-create a customised plan that addresses foundational pillars (nutrition, movement, sleep, stress regulation), plus targeted actions for gut health, hormone support and nervous system regulation.
This is a collaborative process. I provide education, tools, accountability and support, while you bring your consistency and openness. We focus on sustainable habit change, not quick fixes. If needed, I may refer you to other professionals, because coaching supports but doesn’t replace medical treatment. -
How soon will I see results, and what kind of outcomes can I expect?
Every person is unique, but many clients start to notice improvements in digestion, energy and mood within a few weeks. Deeper hormonal or gut imbalances can take several months. Common outcomes include better digestion, more stable energy, improved sleep, calmer stress responses, and greater overall vitality.
Consistency is key. Progress depends on your starting point and how regularly you apply what you learn. -
What do you mean by “gut health,” and why is it so foundational?
Gut health refers to how well your digestive system functions, including how efficiently you digest and absorb nutrients and the balance of bacteria in your microbiome. A healthy gut supports your immune system, hormone balance, mood, and energy. In coaching, we work on restoring balance through nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle changes that support digestion and overall wellbeing.
-
How are hormone health and gut health connected?
Your gut helps metabolise and eliminate hormones, and imbalances in gut bacteria can disrupt this process. Likewise, hormonal shifts can influence digestion and microbiome balance. By improving gut function, we naturally support hormonal harmony, energy, and mood, it’s a two-way street.
-
What is “nervous system regulation,” and why does it matter for my health?
Your nervous system governs how your body responds to stress, including digestion, hormone production, and immune function. Chronic stress keeps your body in “fight or flight,” which can disrupt gut health and hormones. I teach practical tools (like breathwork, nervous system resets, and mindful routines) to help bring your body into “rest and repair,” creating a foundation for healing and resilience.

s this coaching a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment?
No. Health coaching complements medical care but does not replace it. If you have a diagnosed condition, you should continue to work with your healthcare provider. Coaching focuses on lifestyle, mindset, and behaviour change that support your body’s natural healing processes. If any issues arise that need medical assessment, I’ll always refer you appropriately.
