Health Coaching Masterclass

Shivaun and Sharon, HCANZA-accredited Health Coaches and Dietitians, know the challenges health professionals face, as well as the simple changes that make a huge difference to client engagement, motivation and action. 

Health coaching and behaviour change are a specific set of evidence based skills that support clients to connect to motivation, identify obstacles and find solutions, all while promoting self efficacy, self belief and self awareness.

 

The free download below is the handout for the ASLM Masterclass and provides a toolkit of questions to try out with your patients/clients.

The Health Coach Show - Motivation, What it is and how to make it last

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. You'll be introduced to a toolbox of motivational interviewing, positive psychology, the transtheoretical model and health and coaching psychology to assist you in supporting clients to achieve sustainable health behaviours and outcomes. ​​ HCANZA approved program provider.

Health Coach Show Interview - Shami and sharon

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. Dr Shami is the Director and Lead General Practitioner at MINT Clinic https://www.mintclinic.com.au Follow Dr Shami's Podcast SIX HATS PODCAST At Accredited Health Coaching Australia, we train you in behaviour change.

 A common misconception is that you can't change behaviour in short time frames, and health practitioners who work in primary care and clinic settings can feel that it's more effective and efficient to practice a traditional model.

 

In the videos below, Sharon and Shivaun discuss and demonstrate how the health coaching tools can be part of your lifestyle prescription tool kit so you can more efficiently and effectively support your clients to begin to adopt healthier lifestyles.
