Our Coaching Methodology
A Salutogenic Framework for Lifelong Health and Longevity
Our method is built on the salutogenic model—a focus on what creates health, not just what prevents disease. We apply this through a structured, six-step journey that guides each client toward sustainable change. Each step intentionally layers physical movement, nutrition, habits, and mindset, avoiding overwhelm while maximising longevity outcomes.
“Know Thyself”
We begin with clarity. This phase builds awareness around your current state—physical, nutritional, psychological, and behavioural. Using structured assessments, we identify strengths, limitations, stressors, and lifestyle habits that influence your overall health potential.
🔹 Focus: Movement screening, nutritional review, daily routines, mindset audit
🔹 Goal: Establish a clear picture of where you are and what’s influencing your health
🔹 Salutogenic Principle: Enhancing comprehensibility—making sense of your health landscape
Assessment & Awareness
1.
“Direction with Purpose”
Here we co-create aligned, realistic goals based on your assessment. These aren’t just performance or aesthetic goals—they’re deep-rooted longevity goals that anchor meaning and motivation.
🔹 Focus: Longevity markers, functional capacity, energy balance, mental resilience
🔹 Goal: Set goals that are measurable, sustainable, and personally meaningful
🔹 Salutogenic Principle: Building manageability—helping you feel capable of handling the demands of change
Goal Setting
2.
“Strategy Before Action”
We now break down your goals into a phased, layered plan. This is where movement protocols begin, while introducing one or two manageable habit shifts (e.g. sleep, hydration). Nutrition and deeper mindset work are prepared for, but not introduced yet.
🔹 Focus: Movement plan (phase 1), first habit implementation, environment setup
🔹 Goal: Reduce friction and create early wins without overload
🔹 Salutogenic Principle: Cultivating resources—physical & cognitive —so you're supported, not strained
Action Planning
3.
“Deliberate Practice”
This is the execution phase. We begin your physical training while introducing foundational nutritional adjustments. Habit layering continues with more deliberate mindset integration (i.e., reflection practices, discipline, focus).
🔹 Focus: Full movement training, phase 1 nutrition, stress regulation, habit stacking
🔹 Goal: Take action while maintaining clarity and confidence
🔹 Salutogenic Principle: Supporting coherence—connecting what you do daily to your deeper purpose
Action & Implementation
4.
“Feedback Fuels Growth”
You’ll experience change—but we expect fluctuations. This phase introduces systems for measurement, feedback, and reflection. We refine your approach based on results, roadblocks, and readiness for new layers.
🔹 Focus: Data feedback, reflective check-ins, nutritional layering (phase 2), mental resilience tools
🔹 Goal: Stay responsive, not reactive; adjust for life’s realities
🔹 Salutogenic Principle: Encouraging adaptability—flexibility as a sign of strength, not failure
Progress Tracking & Adaptation
5.
“Health That Compounds”
This is the shift from coaching to self-leadership. You now understand how to adapt and maintain your health independently. Here we focus on long-term sustainability, deeper mindset growth, and mastery of daily rituals.
🔹 Focus: Optimisation, legacy habits, emotional awareness, long-view mindset
🔹 Goal: Embed the practices that will serve you for life
🔹 Salutogenic Principle: Elevating meaningfulness—longevity as a daily act of self-respect and purpose
