Do you only work with people with a chronic condition or disease?
No. I work with a spectrum of clients from individuals with chronic conditions through to people that just don’t feel themselves. My goal in working with people is to improve their health so they can thrive in life. I believe in the philosophy that “pain is not normal”, and if it feels normal to you, it’s time for us to create a new normal!
What is a Health Engineer?
I call myself a Health Engineer, as I apply an engineering problem-solving mindset to working with clients and their unique health challenges.
How do I know if Health Engineering is for me?
I have developed the Initial Consultation to help us determine if a coaching program is right for you. At the Initial Consultation we will discuss your health journey to date and your aspirations moving forward. I will talk through my philosophies for my individual approach to healing and offer you some recommendations of where to start.
Are you are medical doctor?
No, I am not a medical doctor. I have a PhD in Engineering from University of Auckland, am internationally certified as a Health and Wellness Coach, hold a Master’s degree in Health Coaching from a New York based university and am a graduate in Full Body Systems from the Functional Nutrition Lab. I specialize in coach clients transform their health through restoring balance in their diet and lives.
Can you prescribe medications or making decisions about my medications?
No. Prescribing medications is outside my scope of practice. I can work with you to adhere to your medication regime and if your doctor has prescribed a change in medication, I can also help you develop systems to track your symptoms and monitor changes.
Do you recommend supplements
Yes, I provide optional supplement recommendations plus exclusive access to practitioner only supplements.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. All information you provide to me or I create regarding you and your health is held in the strictest confidence, just like any other health provider. This includes all information in electronic or paper form, such as video calls, emails, questionnaires and trackers.
Do you coach families?
Yes. I coach with each family member separately so we can address their individual health challenges and goals in a one-on-one setting. By people in the same family working with me, the family can enjoy further benefits of going through their individual health transformations together.
Do you coach children?
Yes I do. For children under 13 years old, I coach their parents directly. For children ages 13 to 18 years old I coach the child and at least one of the parents one-on-one in separate programs (I obtain written parental consent prior to coaching anyone under the age of 18.)
