What is health coaching? In this Episode, Shivaun and Sharon discuss what coaching is, what it isn't and what you should be looking for if you want to become a coach or employ a coach! This episode looks at the toolkit of theories, models and disciplines that a health coach might draw upon, and we discuss they importance of MI as one of these foundational skills. We also look at how Health Coaches Australia New Zealand Association (HCANZA) has set the gold standard for health coaching and health coach training. We touch on how we harness motivation, experience and support clients to identify what it means to be their healthiest self, as well as how they can get there. Health coaching is an approach that is more efficient and rewarding. ---- At Accredited Health Coaching Australia, we've developed health coach training courses, incorporating evidence based health behaviour change interventions and techniques that promote self-efficacy, self-determination and self-responsibility.

In this episode Sharon and Shivaun dig into what motivation is and how we can harness it to achieve our goals. We discuss the role that external and internal (intrinsic) motivators can play on behaviour change, and how we can move along the spectrum from external motivation, to the place where our identity shifts and we become intrinsically motivated. Sometimes we wait for motivation to hit before we take action, although we can find motivation comes from the actions we take! We can support people to explore how values can drive behaviour and find their deep 'why' for changing what they do, and create healthier habits. Helping people imagine their future self and linking to values and identity creates an energy around what is possible that can drive positivity, creative solutions and fuel changes in behaviour. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Accredited Health Coaching Australia, we've developed health coach training courses, incorporating evidence based health behaviour change interventions and techniques that promote self-efficacy, self-determination and self-responsibility.

In this episode Sharon Curtain talks to Dr Shami, an integrative GP who is director and co-founder of the MINT clinic, about health coaching and how it changed her practice. Dr Shami has been a GP for 23 years and has been an integrative GP for 10 years. She has seen first hand how burnout can happen in a system that creates co-dependency when the GP is supposed to provide the answers/fix the medical problems while patients are passive and not encouraged to take responsibility. Her approach changed completely when she started with ACNEM to have an emphasis on empowering patients to take responsibility for their lifestyle behaviours. She noticed how her patients flourished when they were encouraged to create a plan based on what they think would work for them. Studying health coaching was life changing and has transformed all her consults. Clients leave feeling empowered and happy as they come up with their own solutions, matched to where they are ready to start. Dr Shami looks forward to her consults, and is always curious about her clients and what might work for them. She discusses the simples changes she's made and the difference they make. She also discusses how the environment set up also leads to collaboration.
