Many individuals, especially in Switzerland, have not experienced coaching in any form. Perhaps the insights below shed some transparency and light on the process, which - as proven by my client - can have a profound impact on your personal and professional success and wellbeing in only 4 months.
Client testimonial (part 1/2): Monika B., 34, HR Specialist
Health coaching with Patricia has been a truly transformative experience. It helped me dive into aspects of self-care that I used to overlook like listening to my body, prioritizing rest, and making healthier daily choices. The impact has been significant: I've experienced better sleep, improved hydration, and a shift in how I approach my body’s limits. Patricia’s empathy and structured approach provides a safe space for self-reflection, and I felt empowered by her guidance, especially when she was sharing her own knowledge and experiences. This made the journey feel less daunting and more inspiring.
The beginning - setting the foundation
Every transformative journey begins with a single step. For Monika, that step was a discovery session where we explored the essence of health coaching—not therapy, not consulting, but a collaborative partnership focused on sustainable wellness. The session revealed Monika's readiness for change, demonstrated through her openness and willingness to embrace vulnerability as well as an immediate chemistry which is key to a fruitful partnership.
Our foundation was built on a comprehensive health history assessment*, which proved invaluable in:
Identifying current health patterns and challenges
Understanding Monika's specific needs and aspirations
Creating awareness through targeted questions
Accelerating our progress by establishing clear focus areas
*Monika B. completed a form I created which I analyzed thoroughly prior to our first call, enabling us to "save" 1-2 coaching hours of exploration.
The coaching program: structure meets flexibility
Four key areas emerged as our focus:
Nutrition
Sleep
Shaping / physical fitness
Hormonal health
Mindset & self-care
We embarked on a four-month journey with:
Bi-weekly 50-minute blended coaching video sessions
Ongoing support between sessions
Regular reflection exercises
Structured follow-ups
The evolution of change
Foundation & Awareness - We began by addressing fundamental lifestyle patterns, focusing on:
Replacing intense workouts with gentle movement and walks
Establishing evening wellness routines (blue light management, phone boundaries)
Creating structure around nourishing meals and hydration
Mindset & Self-care - As basics became habits, we deepened the work through:
Reframing rest as essential rather than indulgent
Developing sustainable stress management practices
Creating weekly self-care rituals
Building awareness around emotional eating and triggers
Integration & Sustainability - The final phase focused on cementing lasting change through:
Finding joy in the wellness journey rather than focusing solely on outcomes
Establishing sustainable morning and evening routines
Developing a flexible approach to exercise and nutrition
Creating personalized stress-relief practices (meditation, journaling, puzzles)
This progressive approach allowed Monika to build confidence and competence at each stage, ensuring changes were sustainable rather than overwhelming.
