Terms of service.
Health Coaching Overview
Health Coaching is provided by non-medical professionals and serves as a complementary approach to regulated healthcare services in England. Consultations with a Health Coach involve taking a detailed case history, developing a personalised action plan for dietary and lifestyle changes, and offering ongoing support to enhance your health journey. Health Coaches rely on evidence-based resources and assessment tools to offer advice and recommendations tailored to your needs.
At Hygieia Health and Wellbeing, your safety and well-being are our utmost priorities. We welcome any questions or concerns you may have and are committed to ensuring your confidence in our services.
