A gentle but important reminder when choosing who to trust with your health 💙
The wellness space in Hervey Bay is growing rapidly and while that’s a beautiful thing, it is also okay to ask:
- What qualifications & experience do they hold within the health industry?
- Is their approach evidence-based, backed by study, certifications and medically studied practices?
Because that is what matters.
It has recently come to my attention that a business has replicated my 12-week challenge and is now offering something similar, despite having no formal training, study, or recognised certifications in health.
When you’re seeking support for things like hormones, fatigue, mental wellbeing, or chronic health concerns — you’re not just investing in a service, you’re trusting someone with your health.
At Thrive by Design Lifestyle Medicine, my approach is built on:
✔️ Over 35 years of clinical experience in Nursing & Education
✔️ A focus on chronic disease prevention
✔️ Additional qualifications in nutrition, neurolinguistic programming, personal training, life coaching & hypnotherapy.
This means the support you receive is not only holistic & personalised, but also grounded in an extensive clinical understanding of the body and a broad knowledge of long-term health outcomes.
There is absolutely space for many offerings in the wellness industry — but not all services are backed by the same level of training, and it’s important to be aware of that when making decisions about your health.
You deserve to feel confident that the person guiding you has the knowledge, training, and experience to do so safely and effectively.
Your health is worth that level of consideration.
If you’re looking for support that combines compassion with clinical expertise, I’m here to help 💙
