Australians are in a bit of a crisis with more and more people being diagnosed with lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. We need to invest more resources in preventing these lifestyle-related diseases, rather than treatment.

To take that one step further, holistic health coaching focuses on all aspects of life, beyond that of food and movement.
