Rooted in Balance, Flourishing in Health
Welcome, I am Dr. Rebecca Lander
Koru Health Coaching offers personalised health coaching that is designed to strengthen your lifestyle foundations and address your unique health concerns, guiding you towards meaningful, lasting change and renewed vitality.
With my extensive background in healthcare, nutrition, and health coaching, I serve as an expert guide on your path to wellness. If desired, I am happy to coordinate with your doctor or primary healthcare provider.
YOUR HEALTH - A TRULY PRICELESS TREASURE
Imagine sitting in your favourite chair. Over time, you notice the legs have become loose - some even cracked and splitting. The chair wobbles, but you assume it will hold, as it always has. Then, without warning, a leg gives way and you find yourself falling backward, onto the floor! Sadly, I have seen this story unfold in real life far too often.
Now, imagine having someone by your side, empowering you to repair the 'legs' of your health before you end up on the floor. Someone who helps you move from merely getting by to truly thriving—not in some distant future, but right now. And whatever the future holds, you’d be ready, better equipped to face it.
This is why I practice as a functional medicine health coach: to guide my clients toward a new path, helping them live well, for the long term.
FUNCTIONAL HEALTH & WELLBEING COACHING - HOW IT CAN HELP
What is functional medicine health coaching? It is specialised health coaching that takes a holistic approach to promote your overall wellbeing. By focusing on you as an individual, it emphasises careful listening to your personal health story—your history, environment, genetics, and lifestyle habits—while exploring the root causes of your symptoms. Then together, we address your unique health needs through small, sustainable steps. By drawing on your innate strengths and my empathy, curiosity, and creativity, we work together to strengthen the core pillars of your health—nutrition, movement, sleep, breathing, stress management, and social connections—in a way that aligns with who you are. The best part? It's never too late to begin your journey toward lasting change!
