The Holistic Health Coaching method that Dave practices is based on the lifestyle philosophy of Macrobiotics. Macrobiotics is a term from Greek meaning “Big Life” which helps to support the client in their healing journey using wholefood diet and nutrition with personal, emotional and spiritual development. Macrobiotics is a truly holistic approach to health and wellbeing by combining Traditional Oriental Medicine and Western Naturopathy, which enables the client’s individual health and wellbeing needs to be taken into account.
In a Holistic Health Coaching session, a comprehensive consultation taken looking at the client’s constitution and health condition, diet, exercise, emotional and life history. Using assessment process based on Oriental face (click here), tongue, abdominal diagnosis, a Health Coaching Consultation provides a detailed health & lifestyle plan, which may include:
- Dietary and nutritional advice
- Meal planning
- Wholefood cooking tuition
- Meditation & relaxation techniques
