Health - New service in Shropshire

New Health and Wellbeing Service for Shropshire

Launched earlier this year, HolHealth is a new Health and Wellbeing service aimed at helping individuals to improve their lifestyle habits and mindset for happy, healthier lives.

Health coaching is a relatively new concept for many but here is how it all works.

What is a Health Coach?

A Health Coach is trained in human behaviour, how the body works, communication and coaching skills, nutrition, and fitness. As a Health Coach, Holly Griffiths primarily works as a mentor to inspire clients to make positive lifestyle changes and is there to educate you to create real change in your health, by setting specific goals and ensuring that you stay motivated.

HolHealth aims to empower (College of Naturopathic Medicine), is accredited within the NHS Personalised Care Institute and we are now seeing Health Coaches becoming part of GP practices up and down the country. I am hopeful that within Oswestry this will be available to patients very soon. As we know, early intervention can be instrumental in changing the course of many health issues. I believe it is important that we look at alternative solutions through diet, exercise and education - prior to medication - which will not only benefit the patient but also relieve pressure on the NHS.” Coaching

There is no one size fits all and everyone’s needs are different for many reasons. Each plan is bespoke

“There is no one size fits all and everyone’s needs are different for many reasons. Each plan is bespoke and tailored to the individual client, working to identify any health concerns and goals.”

clients to create real change in every aspect of their life, including their diet, fitness levels, career, relationships, home environment and general wellness. Holly can assist with a range of health-related issues including weight loss, stress, digestive problems, blood sugar regulation and detoxification and is qualified to assist with the creation of meal plans, nutritional recipes, exercise and sleep routines, stress management plans and problemsolving strategies.

Holly said, “My particular qualification with the CNM and tailored to the individual client, working to identify any health concerns and goals. Accountability is imperative and so having someone on your side to support, encourage and keep things positive and productive is the key to successfully reaching those goals. Nutrition

“I am a firm believer in ‘what you put in, is what you get out’. Therefore, if you fuel your body correctly you will have the energy levels, and ultimately, the health that you desire. There is so much conflicting dieting information out there, so I take a very stripped back simple and pragmatic approach to how we should eat as healthy, active individuals,” Holly explained. Fitness

“I am a qualified Personal Trainer and therefore have the expertise to advise on the types of exercise suitable for someone (as a Health Coach would do) and also take clients through a full training program on a one-to-one basis. Having a personal trainer does not necessarily mean you will be standing in front of a mirror or lifting heavy weights in a packed gym! I want clients to feel comfortable first of all - this may be in the privacy of their own home, or in the private studio at Active8Gym, Oswestry, where I am based. “For those wishing to start their health journey or anyone with a health issue they want to look into, HolHealth can help! My ‘whole health’ and holistic approach to wellness will help you reach your health goals in a sustainable way so that you achieve long-term health. Packages with me vary in terms of your requirement.

It may be just Health Coaching that is needed or perhaps a combined program of both Health Coaching and Personal Training,” said Holly.
