Health Improvement Practitioners – Pou Ora
A Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) is a registered health professional who supports people to improve their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing through brief, evidence-based interventions, coaching, and health education. They support individuals to make positive lifestyle and behaviour changes, manage health challenges, build practical coping skills, and connect with community and health resources to improve their overall wellbeing.
Health Coaches – Pou Haapai Ora
Health Coaches help you build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage your health, make lifestyle changes, and achieve your wellbeing goals. Ask to see a Health Coach if you want support to improve your overall health.
Support Workers – Kaiaarahi
Support Workers provide practical support to help you overcome social, cultural, or everyday challenges that affect your health and wellbeing. Ask to see a Support Worker if you need help accessing services or additional community support.
What you can expect
Make an appointment.
Ask for a Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) or Health Coach at your doctor’s clinic
Same day appointments are often available.
Your first visit takes 30 minutes.
We’ll talk about what is most helpful for you to work on that day.
Walk away with a plan.
Whether it’s problem-solving, education, coping strategies or behaviour changes, you’ll leave with a personalised wellbeing plan.
Follow up your way.
Some find one session is enough; others return for follow-up support or to work on something new.
