Gabby works Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

Kia Ora. My name is Gabby and I am the Health coach here at Papanui Medical Centre alongside Amy Shipley.  My hours of work are Wednesday to Friday, weekly inclusive from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. I have three years’ experience as a Health Coach in Riccarton Medical Centre where I continue to work part-time.    I cover holistic wellbeing in my Health coach role covering physical, mental, spiritual and community and whanau connection.
 

Typical areas of support are for Diabetes, Gout, weight loss, medication reviews, anxiety, stress and connection. Sleep, physical exercise and healthy eating. 

I have also worked in Employee wellbeing support for the past 4 years in many different organizations.  I have worked with students at Ara supporting barriers to progress in terms of mental wellbeing and I have experience working with neurodiverse individuals which is of special interest to me through working with Autism NZ for many years.
 

I also recently completed a PGDIP in Counselling.
