Health Coaching

We’re excited to be able to provide this free service with our two Health Coaches, Theresa and Beth. They are here to empower you to achieve any goals you have for better physical and emotional wellbeing, and are here to support you with things like:

  • – Healthy eating habits
  • – Exercise plan
  • – Quitting smoking
  • – Managing stress
  • – Improving sleep
  • – Reducing alcohol intake
  • – Connecting with your whānau or community
  • – Management of long-term conditions (such as diabetes, high cholesterol, blood pressure, gout, asthma etc)

Our super-friendly and incredibly helpful and professional Health Coaches are available for booked or drop-in appointments from Monday through to Thursday.

Their services are available face to face, online, or over the phone. If you or your loved ones need support or want to learn more about what we can offer, feel free to reach out to the Health Coaches at Aotea Health on 09 4290 356.

Awhi Ora

Whilst it is a very similar role to the Health Coaches, the Awhi Ora is a support service for everyday people that is provided by everyday people. 

Our Awhi Ora (Faith) is based in the Northern end of Aotea and works and walks alongside members of the Northern communities.

The Awhi Ora is there to help you get back on track, so you can get going again.  They work with you, to figure out a plan to reach goals that matter to you.  It’s about having the tools in your pocket, so you’re equipped to get to where you want to be.

Types of challenges or problems that the Awhi Ora team can help with include: feeling stressed, worries about your budget, feeling anxious about work, social situations or relationship problems. 
They can also help you navigate social and community services

If you want to get in touch with the Awhi Ora, call Aotea Health on 09 4290 356 and ask for Faith or leave a message for her, and she will get back to you as soon as she can.

Health Improvement Practitioner

Aotea Health is fortunate to have a Tina Price on the team as a funded HIP (health improvement practitioner). Tina Price can see people of all ages and at all stages of their lives. They work with you to improve your overall wellbeing by providing support and follow-up for any physical, spiritual, social, or mental issues or concerns. Things often discussed include:

  • sleep problems
  • chronic pain
  • anxiety and stress
  • identity issues including cultural, sexual and gender
  • improving social issues (parenting, relationships, loneliness, domestic violence)
  • addiction concerns.

But HIPs are not limited to working in specific areas, they’re generalists and will work with anyone about anything.

There is no charge to see the HIP, (or the Health Coaches or Awhi ora) and appointments are generally made by the GP/NP or RN, but you can also ask for an appointment with the HIP, or make your own appointment at a time that suits you via the Patient Portal at myindici.co.nz
