Coaching

my coaching office

Hello, I’m Coach John, and i would like very much to be your personal Health Coach.

If you have made a decision to take charge of your health, congratulations. I am at your service, if you wish, to coach you to help you reach your goals. As your coach you are free to contact me via email with questions you may have. I’m here to help you create the healthy lifestyle you’re striving for.

Our road ahead will need a clear map and compass, one we can craft together to co-create a unique, single page personal health assessment summary.

By combining the traditional medical model of history, examination and investigation, with wisdom ancient and modern, eastern and western, I am delighted to personally help you construct your customized health plan and coach you towards realizing your goals and dreams.

Your plan will connect together your key confidential details (such as your goals, dreams, values, heath issues etc etc) like a jig saw puzzle, into a working summary sheet, joining the dots, piecing together a composite dynamic health-snap-shot picture, in which you and I reach the point of being ‘on the same page’.

Your health and wholeness ‘picture’ is a totally unique and integrated power tool when your motivation is harnessed to your goals and values, because it orientates you and I like a compass, a road map, or mirror, simplifying and maximizing the capacity for us to 'see' the heart of the problem/s (where you are now), and to 'see' the heart of the solution/s (where you want to go), based on the best available evidence.

As your coach I am at your service to help you refocus (eg, on how to eat to live), refresh (spring cleaning and disease proofing is doable), recharge (stay trim and taut), reclaim life (saying good bye to fatigue, illness and drugs), and restore wholeness (spirit, soul and body)!

My coaching will teach you how to nourish in and cleanse out so well you’ll feel like you are in a Roll’s Royce on the Royal Road to peak and sustainable health.

Wholeness can’t be packaged, but my coaching packages can help you learn to navigate your way there. Platinum is more time and content based, and aimed to help you reach there soonest. Gold and silver packages are aimed to help you get there too, but might just take a little bit longer.

Education & Work Experience: I am a medical graduate of the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, and I completed my internship in 1979 at the Royal Brisbane Hospital where my parents trained.

My first few post graduate years were spent in Africa, and were the longest, most soul destroying and harrowing years of my life.

Living and working amidst appalling illness and death rates, from the chaos of war, poverty, famine, starvation and disease, Africa was my first real testing ground as a doctor saturated in emergency medicine and surgery.

For example, being responsible for one hundred complicated births, including fifteen Caesars, ten sets of twins and one set of quads or triplets, around the clock, 24/7, I discovered the exquisite wonder of childbirth, through busy 24-36 hour shifts.

Africa was the most incredible work experience of my life, stretching me to the limits of my capabilities, and branding her harsh but awesome beauty in my heart and soul forever.

My medical and health education has involved intensive training assignments also in China, S.E. Asia, Europe, the US, Oceania and the Pacific, including almost thirty wonderful years of experience as a Specialist Family Physician, all of which have helped to shape me into a coach with a keen and fervent zeal to help you succeed in reaching your goals and dreams.

                            UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENERGY

The ancient Chinese understood energy intuitively, in the form of the following equation:

CHI (ENERGY) = MASS (FIVE ELEMENTS) X CONSTANT (YIN & YANG)

where:

‘Mass’ refers to the five universal elements:

Fire (Endocrine)
Wood (Immunity)
Earth (Digestion)
Water (Circulation)
Metal (Respiration)

and

‘Constant’ refers to the balance/imbalance between any two complementary opposing principles in nature (e.g. Yin & Yang) within each of the five elements.

Einstein unwittingly verified the ancient truth about energy, in his timeless equation:

ENERGY = MASS X CONSTANT ²

(where "C" is the cosmological constant for the speed of light); Sound familiar?

The Five Elements Diagram above is my logo and template on which i draw strategic health and wholeness summaries. We can chart your course to reach your goal from this quintessential picture representation of the universal principle of energy. It helps explain the ancient wisdom of wholeness and health, and wholistic medicine and coaching.

As I persisted and advanced along ‘the way’ to sustainable health, the penny dropped and i discovered what ‘wholistic’ means:

It is not so important to know what kind of problem (or disease) a person is having as it is to know what kind of person is having a problem (or disease).

This approach is wholistic; in wholistic medicine we are not in separate compartments; we take the entirety of the person, see the imbalance and try to balance the energy.

My years of training has molded me to adopt health, medical, and coaching strategies which are:

1.    Wholistic: person & problem oriented; 2.    Sustainable: nourishing in and cleansing out; 3.    Anti-aging: get your life back; restore, recharge, renew, rejuvenate your life; 4.    Addiction & weight oriented: achieving healthy weight through practical hands-on nutrition education; 5.    Energy oriented: renewal & rejuvination; 6.    Preventative: health & goal planning; 7.    Detox-oriented: nutritional detox through fasting; medical detox through chelation therapy; 8.    Integrated: practical, educational, goal oriented; 9.    Complementary: chelation, homoeopathy, herbal nutrition & medicine, physio, acupuncture; 10.       Rehabilitative: exercise and fitness focused for beginners and/or elite athletes.
