Lauren Parsons - Pure Health and Wellbeing

Lauren Parsons

My personal goal is to inspire as many people as I can to get more out of life. I have always been passionate about health and wellbeing, both my own and that of those around me. I love what I do as it gives me the opportunity to encourage and empower others to improve their overall wellness and live the extraordinary lives they deserve.

Whats unique about me? I combine my passion for people with professional coaching skills and a background in both business and in health and fitness to hep individuals and businesses. I offer life coaching and business coaching, personal training, group exercise sessions, programmes and nutritional advice to individuals and corporate groups. I love to speak, I love to train, I love to encourage, I love to get moving with some great music, I love to entertain, I love to talk business and crunch numbers & I love to see people grow.

I feel honoured truly grateful for every opportunity to help others realise just how wonderful and worthwhile they are and just how much life has to offer them! My clients never cease to inspire and amaze me, which I love!

My Background

My passion turned into a career back in 2000 when I first started out in the health and fitness industry teaching aerobics. After completing my Business Degree and Post Graduate Diploma I worked for a major Christchurch Health Club for several years in Management roles. I then taught Personal Training and Business Skills at Colleges in Christchurch and Auckland. Alongside this I taught Group Exercise classes and ran my own personal training business delivering one on one studio based sessions, and individual coaching and nutritional consultations.

After working closely with people I quickly realised how much our thoughts and attitudes can limit our success, and so decided to study again and gain the skills to really help people make lasting changes in their lives. In 2008 I completed my diploma in Holistic Life Coaching with Life Coach Associates (LCA) in Auckland. The LCA approach taught me coaching skills and techniques and at the same time took me on a personal transformational journey which taught me so much more than I would ever have imagined.

I firmly believe in the principle that you can't take someone past where you have been yourself. We have all been through struggles and we can all chose how we respond to life and move forward from these. Because of the way Ive learnt to face up to my own fears and overcome them, I can now help others do the same.

• Business Coaching & Mentoring

• Health & Wellbeing Seminars

• Personal Coaching

• Home and Gym based Personal Training

Where I am

I am currently based in Waiouru in the Central Plateau, a wonderful spot to be with a great community and a huge outdoor playground where I can enjoy tramping, cycling, mountain biking, skiing and gorgeous landscapes which inspire me as an artist.

I work from home (alongside being a wife and mother) where I have my coaching office, a tranquil space set aside just for me and my clients, and have my trusty phone and internet set up for clients that live outside Waiouru. As a Personal Trainer I am fully mobile and love doing outdoor sessions at the park, at the gym, in my clients back yards or their lounge when the weather decides for us! I also consult with businesses, run team building workshops and am available to travel for speaking engagements and business mentoring.

My Approach

As a Personal Trainer

I am all about helping people find practical down to earth approaches that will work for them. I deliver sessions that are fun and enjoyable (each finishing with a stretch and massage) and which save time (often our biggest barrier) by working out in the most effective way possible. I am a fully REPS Registered Personal Trainer, so you can trust that I have the knowledge and skills to help you reach your goals as fast as possible. I motivate, encourage and inspire people to form awesome healthy-living habits with both their eating and exercise. Ultimately my goal is to see my clients get great results they will keep for life.

As a Personal Coach

I am dedicated to helping people make long lasting changes in their everyday habits and hence their lives by increasing their self-awareness and self belief, overcoming their fears and empowering them to take practical steps to follow an inspiring vision for their lives. As a coach I provide an independent sounding board as I am not personally involved in my client life as a friend or family member would be. I listen without judging, retain my clients confidence and assist them to find their own answers rather than giving advice. I first started coaching in 2005 when I saw the need among my personal training clients to get more balance in their lives and reduce stress. Since then I have become fully qualified as a Holistic Life Coach and now use a range of proven exercises and techniques to allow my clients to gain clarity & direction, and to make meaningful change.

As a Business Coach

I integrate my strong base of business skills and experience alongside the coaching principles and techniques I have learnt. My approach is unique in that I combine tried and tested business principles and concepts (specialising in sales, marketing and customer service excellence) with an understanding of the deeper emotions, beliefs and patterns that can hold business people back. I specialise in assisting small business owners and entrepreneurs to gain clarity and direction and to take action to grow their businesses to new levels while maintaining the life balance they desire.

As a Speaker

I just love getting up in front of people, sharing my knowledge and being able to see the sparkle in their eye as they have light bulb moments of understanding and realisation. I always take an interactive, fun-filled approach to speaking and presenting and am natural at building rapport and keeping participants focused and interested. Adaptable in the range of topics I present, I can deliver packages that cover a wide scope as required to meet my clients needs.

I believe... You only live once, but if you do it right...once is enough!

Give me a call today on 021 348 661 if you would like to find out how I can help you get more out of your personal and work life and achieve the life you've always dreamed of!

PS - I am very down to earth and I promise I don't bite! I look forward to speaking to you soon! :-)
