Coaching and Mentoring for Food Education
Coaching
Coaching is a structured and focused partnership between a client and a coach, designed to facilitate personal and professional growth. Meetings are typically scheduled and center on addressing specific development areas or challenges. The agenda prioritises achieving immediate goals while aligning with the client’s long-term vision.
This supportive relationship helps clients identify and overcome internal barriers, fostering self-awareness, accountability, and resilience. By empowering individuals to unlock their potential, coaching builds confidence, clarity, and the internal strength needed to thrive.
The benefits of coaching
- Making rapid progress in achieving goals that you may be struggling with through a questioning process.
- Having someone on your side who is completely focused on enabling you to achieve your health goals.
- Improves self-awareness.
- Realising what is really important in your life
Although some of the skills used in coaching and therapists may be the same coaching is not counselling or any kind of psychotherapy, and will not be used as a substitute either.
Food education & mentoring
Food education & mentoring (relationship) focuses on sharing experiences, knowledge ideas and options around food and nourishment. We both have the flexibility moving from one subject to another for example you may have acute health condition, here is where I share my expert recommendation, knowledge on food – promote and develop good health & wellbeing ideas. Identifying food qualities that would balance your constitution and ideas/option to add food and reduce or remove foods, which are aggravating your constitution. Or you may decide to work on time management ; here I would share ideas, tips and resources how to manage/save cooking time, I would use my professional skills and knowledge help around blockage that you may be experiencing – using my guidance you can decide the best decision on what foods you would add and reduce/remove from your diet.
Understanding what time we eat our food can change the quality of our meal, the attitude of eating our food ourselves or with family can change the nature of food. Nourishing our souls and other souls with home cooking can be felt (invisible) when food is cooked with love in mind, therefore cooking with love goes beyond a meal. The quality of life is not a question it’s a science of self – healing which has a big role in negative emotion release.
In the modern world we are aware that blocked emotion, suppressed emotion is a pathway to disease and chronic conditions. Home cooking with herbs and spices promote a healthy mind and body. I believe home cooked meals change the dynamics of wellbeing.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) focuses on transforming your life to achieve the results you desire. By examining how language shapes our thoughts and emotional states, NLP helps remove unwanted emotions, behaviors, and feelings, effectively reducing anxiety, depression, and more. Through this process, we identify how language can influence thoughts, feelings, and habits, creating a personalized balance that suits your needs.
