Health Coaching for Chronic Illness:
Finding Balance, Boundaries, and Joy
If you live with a chronic condition, you know how hard it can be to manage your energy. You can’t pour from an empty cup – and yet, we often keep pouring until there’s nothing left.
One of the most transformative lessons I’ve learned is that boundaries protect your energy. They’re not about shutting people out; they’re about creating the space you need to thrive.
🌿Boundaries help you:
🌿Prioritise what truly matters
🌿Protect your limited energy
🌿Say no without guilt
🌿Avoid burnout
In coaching, we explore how to create boundaries that serve you and your wellbeing. Together, we’ll work on practical steps to help you navigate relationships, work commitments, and personal time in a way that feels sustainable.
Discovering What You Truly Want (Not What You Ought to Do)
When you live with chronic illness, it’s easy to fall into the trap of doing what you think you ought to do. You may feel pressure to keep up appearances at work, be there for everyone in your life, or maintain a certain lifestyle.
But what if you paused to ask yourself: What do I actually want?
Coaching creates a space for that question. It’s a space to reflect on what brings you joy, fulfilment, and purpose – beyond the ‘shoulds’ and ‘oughts’ imposed by society or even yourself.
We’ll work together to identify your true values and desires, helping you create a life that feels aligned with your needs and goals – not anyone else’s.
Finding More Joy in Everyday Life
Joy can feel elusive when you’re managing pain and fatigue. But it doesn’t have to be grand gestures or major life changes that bring joy into your life. Often, it’s the small moments that matter most – a walk in nature, a good book, or time spent with loved ones.
Through coaching, we’ll explore:
🌿What brings you joy and fulfilment
🌿How to incorporate more of these moments into your life
🌿How to reframe challenges and focus on what’s possible
The goal is to help you truly connect with what makes you happy, and do more of it.
