How can Health Coaching help me?
Madonna's got one. So does Oprah. Count Toby Maguire and Christian Slater in too. Could health coaching be for you too? Two ordinary Australians tell why they took the plunge and signed up for ahm's free health coaching, and how it's working for them.
Shane's story.
At 24 Shane was a self-confessed 'stresshead' with a pack a day cigarette habit. He tried multiple times to quit, but with lots of down time at work, boredom always got the best of him.
So, Shane set a goal with an ahm health consultant to quit once and for all. Together they created a strategy to address the temptations. Shane has now been smoke-free for 6 months and just achieved his second health goal, to better manage his stress.
"I’ve learned to give myself space and put things in perspective, and when I feel myself getting stressed, I’m now able to talk myself out of it."
Shane says his stress levels have gone from "still functioning but definitely not ideal" to "as close to perfect as is possible."
Becky's story
Nearly 10 years ago, Becky lost 13 kilograms and kept it off for five years. But balancing a busy social and professional life with responsibilities as a young parent has led to some of the weight creeping back on.
So Becky set a goal with an ahm health consultant to lose 3 kilograms over 12 weeks.
"I'm running four times a week now and doing Pump and Pilates class each week and this week I doubled my weights at Pump." Becky says. "I have a lot more energy, I’m looking slimmer and my clothes are fitting better."
Not only has Becky lost the kilos, but she raced the City to Surf and didn’t stop to walk at all during the hilly 14k. "I am feeling better than ever."
If these stories sound even a little bit like you, maybe you could benefit from having your own health coach.
