Session One
One-on-one session with your health coach to learn about the program, and together identify the healthy changes you would like to make. The session is also an opportunity to talk together about how the program can help you make these changes with the support of your coach and/or group members.
Session Two
This session is all about exploring motivation and why making healthy change is important to you. We will explore how lifestyle factors like food choices, physical activity and weight impact your health and discuss ways to take control of these factors.
Session Three
We will explore physical activity and how incorporating movement into everyday life benefits our physical and mental health. By the end of this session you will have developed an action plan to achieve your goal. Learn how to break your goal into small, achievable steps to set you up for success.
Session Four
Now that you have started working towards making healthy change, the focus shifts to how to keep on track. We explore different tools to help track your progress and talk about support, and the role it plays in your own personal journey. We also look at your current food choices and share different ways to make healthy changes.
Session Five
Work with your health coach to create your own strategies to overcome hurdles, to keep you on track to achieving your goal.
For the next 12 weeks it’s time to step out on your own and put your plans into action with the tools and support you have gained. Resources available through the online portal.
Session Six
This session is about celebrating what you have achieved and reflecting on what you’ve learnt along the way. You will explore how to maintain your healthy change and have the opportunity to think about a new goal you might like to work towards.
