As a General Practitioner of family medicine who has worked in the NHS for 20 years I have worked with a variety of health care professionals. However, this was my first experience of working with a health coach, and it was extremely positive one.
Changing behaviour is a complex process and it takes time. Very often as a clinician, working at gathering a history, performing examinations forming diagnoses and then communicating this back , there can be limited time to address this. It also requires excellent communication skills and practical experience.
As a health coach Nürma provides the experience of how to take clinical knowledge and turn it into behaviour advice and support. So that knowledge turns into action. She has an excellent communication style, clear experience with the practicalities of addressing dietary and habit changes and a very professional manner. She worked very well at supporting the dietary plan set out by the course provider
The format of this being done by video consultation creates a hugely time efficient and logistically diverse tool. It no longer requires clinicians who are local, but allows global options for patient support. I would highly recommend her .

As a medical doctor, I had my own personal experience with Nürma as my health coach. It was a life changing moment. I had all the knowledge of the importance of a healthy lifestyle with no personal implementation and action. Nürma was able to move my mindset from contemplating to action in small steps. I have learnt about character strengths and how to use them to create change in my lifestyle choices, mindfulness, relaxation techniques and self-care. Engaging with Nürma was peaceful, kind and uplifting! I would highly recommend her to all my family ,friends and patients that would like a permanent holistic health transformation.

I cannot recommend Nürma enough. I believed counseling was not for me - but then I met Nurma. My sessions with her have not only helped me gain an understanding of my habits and patterns, but given me the tools to break my bad habits, through a holistic approach to life. I feel capable of moving forward in my life, controlling my self with confidence and surety. I would like to continue seeing Nurma in order to 'maintain' this new me! It has been a personal revelation for which I will be always grateful.

A Grateful Mother
My son was referred to Nurma when he was going through a very rough time. Nürma was phenomenal from the first meeting, always attentive, never judgmental and helped my son learn coping strategies. I do not know how my son would have got through this period without her invaluable advice and guidance- working with Nurma has been a positive and transformative experience. I believe these sessions have changed my son's life forever. This remarkable woman comes highly recommended by this grateful mother.

Emotional Stability For Teenagers
Nurma supported and help my teenager daughter (14 years old) through an emotional period and guided her to establish her own healthy emotional state. My daughter was mourning the loss of her childhood as she entered high school and felt overwhelmed and anxious regarding new expectations of her. Being a coach myself, I initially worked with my daughter but it was after only 2 sessions with Nurma that my daughter’s anxiety dissipated. In fact my daughter said shared her insight that she realised that regardless of whether she was a child, a teenager, or other, she is and always will be herself foremost. What a gift!

I Wish I Had Done This Years Ago
With Nurma's patient guidance, understanding and empathy I have been able to set clear and achievable goals for myself. For the first time in years, I feel that I am in control of my life and my health. I know where I’m going and how I’m going to get there. Thank you Nürma!

Transformation
My daughter went to Nurma in a "strange" time of her life. In-between student and young adult, with a failed relationship. Terrible eating habits. Nurma assessed her and talked through every aspect of life with giving practical advice. The transformation is visible and she is back on track! I can highly recommend Nurma.
