Health Coaching for Midlife Women in Thornleigh

What is Health Coaching?

Health coaching helps you understand what your body needs and turn that into habits you can keep. As a physiotherapist and certified health coach, Shelley works with women in their 40s and 50s through perimenopause and menopause, looking at movement, strength, sleep, stress and nutrition together. Sessions can be held at our Thornleigh clinic or by phone or video call.

Nutrition

With so much conflicting advice, it’s hard to know what to eat. We look at your current habits and goals, and help you make realistic changes that suit your life.

Manage Stress

Stress can be physical or emotional, and it affects sleep, energy, mood and recovery. We help you understand your own stress patterns and build simple strategies to manage them.

Exercise Effectively

Exercise supports muscle and bone health, energy and mood. Your physiotherapist designs a progressive program focused on good form and stability, so you can train safely and with confidence.

Understanding what your body needs, how stress, diet and lifestyle can be impacting your life can be really valuable in enabling you to make a change for the better.

A health coach can be very valuable in this process. Our health coaching Program is a minimum of 3 months. This is so you can stay motivated and experience results. Making lasting changes takes effort and time and as your health coach, we will be your biggest support and guide you along the way. For more information of what you can expect in your 3 month program have a look below for a more extensive break down of each month.
