They meet the requirements of their professional association, such as the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists (BCAK) here in BC, and once approved are entitled to be "Registered."

    Onsen Technique - Muscle Pain Relief

    Neck, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Hand, Back, Ribs, Thigh, Hip, Knee, Lower Leg, Ankle, Foot

    What is Onsen Technique?

    The term Onsen is Japanese. Loosely translated, it means ‘at peace’ or ‘at rest.’ It implies balance and harmony between all of the body’s systems in all planes. It is an ideal state, one in which the body cannot possibly achieve if it is being pulled into unbalanced positions.

    The forces generated by these imbalances can be enormous, and every tissue in the body is affected when it is abnormally compressed or stretched due to these forces. This leads to pain and the only long-lasting way to alleviate the pain is to correct the structure.

    In correcting these structural imbalances we use a certain stretching and functional testing protocol. We stretch and strengthen the muscles that are holding the skeleton in an unbalanced position and thus alleviate the pain.

    Health Coaching

    Goal Setting, Physical Exercise, Nutrition Education, Responsibility Training, Motivation

    Katch Life Health Coaching

       Interested in a new, convenient, effective method of training that's creating results in people's lives right NOW? Then Health Coaching is for you. A health coach will support you, by telephone, to set goals, create action steps, overcome barriers and to eat and exercise effectively. Each session is approximately 15 minutes and comes with unlimited email support. Health Coaching is ideal for anyone wanting to lose weight, become more active or improve their diet. You will learn how to plan healthy meals and snacks, how to fit physical activity into your busy schedule and how to have fun doing it.


    What is a Health Coach?

    A health coach is someone who motivates you, provides unconditional support, identifies your strengths and helps you build upon them, shines a light on what's holding you back and helps you see your way clear, and partners with you to discover the creative solutions you need to achieve your goals.

    Depending on your particular situation, your health coaching might include any combination of goal-setting, strategizing, focusing, encouragement, celebration, and personal development. You may even vent to your coach if you need to.

    Health coaching is a guilt-free, no-nag zone, in which your personal well-being is the number one priority.

    Your coach works with you via skillfully conducted "coaching sessions." When you implement the actions that you and your coach have agreed will lead to the most dramatic results.

    Katch Life Health & Wellness conducts coaching sessions over the telephone. "Telecoaching," as it is sometimes called, is the standard practice for coaching, is more efficient than in-person coaching, and allows you to be coached from the convenience of your own home or office. Not only that, but telecoaching gives you the opportunity to be coached by the very best coach for you, without geographical restrictions.

    As a client, you may wonder, what would you and the coach talk about? The answer: whatever it takes to help you take action and produce results. That means that you might:

  • Sometimes talk about goals, sometimes talk about strategy, sometimes work on establishing boundaries.
  • Set up systems to assure that you get what you need to stay motivated.
  • Fortify other areas of your life that serve as the foundation of change.
  • Develop a plan to establish the support network and the environment you need to assure your success.
  • Implement methods to overcome relapse.
  • Identify stale habits and mindsets that you need to "let go" of in order to excel.
  • Find new ways to create the time and energy you require.
  • Celebrate your achievements.
  • Reverse your setbacks.

  • Your coach will push when you need to be pushed, and support you when you need support.
