Did you know we have a dedicated team on island to support you with your health and wellbeing? 

Aotea Health have a team of Health coaches made up of Eunate Puy- Azurmendi (Mon – Wed), Tina Price (Thurs) at Claris Medical Centre and Sacha Eddington at the Nurses cottages in FitzRoy (Mon – Thurs). 

This service is completely free and confidential, and the team supports people with a wide range of health goals including diet, exercise, sleep, stress, social issues, and management of long-term health conditions. 

Sessions can take the form of group workshops, one-on-one sessions or they can meet you wherever suits you, at the health centre, your home, out in the community or even over the phone. 

Eunate shares that the team sees people for a range of things, like making health plans for weight loss to supporting those with dyslexia to read and write letters. 

Tina highlights that “Health ‘coaches’ are not health ‘experts’ who tell you what to do. I believe we all have the inherent ability to make positive changes for our own well-being; sometimes we just need a little nudge in the right direction.” 

The team have already run weight management and diabetes workshops and will be putting on some more group workshops in the coming months. Keep an eye out for dates and details. 

Give Aotea Health a call to ask about this service on 09 4290 356 or ask at their reception.
