Hey Rachael, just wanna say I am so grateful for your help. Before I came to you the weight seemed stuck on, the health was going down the tubes and had been for 8 years and nothing seemed to change. You helped me get healthier, thinner and understand a whole range of factors that were causing me problems. I am grateful and blessed and can finally fit into clothes I never thought I would xxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooo

MEET RACHAEL CORCORAN
(well accessorised mumpreneur & superstar of Health Coaching)
Hey, I’m Rachael, but my friends call me Rach.
I help busy, overworked (mainly, but not exclusively) women, go from feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and generally pissed about their health and appearance –
. . . to feeling and being, sexy, strong, hotter and better looking than a hot thing!!
I’m the voice (and pen) behind Healthy NationNZ (facebook) and The kHiSSt of Health blog – kinda health advice columns and a personal journal all rolled into one. Filled with kick-ass information and educational content, where you get to hear about my fetish for accessories, mummydom Rachael styles, and occasionally about my 25 and 80 year old stalkers (yup, I obviously look damn fine on a good day and complete shite on others!)
Pondering upon my musings and content
Yup – encouraging you to Glamorise your Exercise!!
A MUMMA! (best job eva!)
Yup – good at making the little people!
AN ALSO RAN SPORTS PERSON & FORMER COPPER (ie. Police osafa if you’re drunk)
Was part of a world record holding rowing team, my arse is still recovering, and a . . .
. . . didn’t make the NZ squad, but was coached by NZ’s coach of the year (however many times over), and sat in a boat with a (however many times over) world champ for however many thousand kilometres . . . athlete.
You learn a lot about personalities and the psychology behind success when you’re stuck in a boat with it . . . So I also have a special interest in helping teenagers who want to become Elite sportsmen/women.
And being a copper was great!!! Except they get paid crap!
“If it was so great, why’d you leave then girlfriend??” I hear you ask.
“Well, I kept getting crook” I answer.
Not the puke your ring out, or in lotsa pain kinda crook. The ‘I constantly feel like crud’ kind.
Cue doctors finding nothing, and even implying it was all in my head (jerks!)
. . . and deciding to leave that job, because shift work, scraps with drunks, and dealing with people who settle an argument with a knife – and feeling weak, and half asleep a lot of the time, don’t really mix.
So, what do ya do to earn some dollars when you look and feel like poop – you become a Personal Trainer!
Duh, how can you not see the logic in that!!
Oh, nearly forgot . . . after a couple of years, got referred to a decent doctor, who sent some hair over to the states, and voila – Arsenic poisoning. So to all previous doctors – @#$%&*!
FORMER PERSONAL TRAINER, AND CONTRACTOR TO LES MILLS NZ & LES MILLS INTERNATIONAL
I was a pretty good personal trainer. Hey, I only worked three days a week and made some ok coin doing it (I did charge a little more than the average for the time, but hey). I had awesome clientel – actresses, models, chefs and onto it business types, even a milkman.
My supreme skills saw me contracted as a Master trainer, to present to and assess other trainers (in Wellington and Auckland) in a particular diet and exercise program.
Fast forward, a few weeks, and my detective skills deducted that this workshop, designed to teach trainers the product, was, let’s put it politely – booorring.
So smarty pants here rehashed it – and boom – contracted to Les Mills NZ and LM International to get it sorted for the international market.
Cue a couple of disturbing matters:
1. The amount of time, effort and money a good portion of the gym populous were spending and it wasn’t really working for them the way it should
2. I was quoted in a manual (that went out to NZ the UK, Asia, Aussie and maybe other places) as saying that I recommend the diet and exercise program to all my clients – um, nope never said that – because I don’t recommend it to ALL!! (a few yes, ALL nope!!)
So, what do ya do when this is the case . . . you do loads of research, combine it with your on the job learnings, put things together, trial it, rehash it a little, and you know - develop a system where absolutely nothing is left out!!
Drumroll please – kHiSSt Health Coaching is born!
OWNER OF kHiSSt HEALTH COACHING
I know what does kHiSSt Stand for??
It’s all about your Health, our System, and your Solution – and some other letters to make it sound like an actual ok word.
So together we take your ‘ok, but could be better’, or your ‘not so flash’, or plain ‘I feel like doggy doo on the bottom of someones jandal’ health status, and help you put systems into place (no health area or stone left unturned), to find the solution - that gets you to your goal!!!
It’s my (not flesh and blood kind) baby . . . my (other) pride and joy . . .
. . . and because my status as an overachiever relies on you getting results, I will bloody well assist you to ‘get results’ . . .
Include in that a bit of writing articles for industry and non industry websites, newspapers on behalf of gyms and organising events that attract a couple of hundred people (in Levin, that’s the equivalent of filling Wembley to capacity), and Mummydom . . .
And you have my life in a nutshell . . .
So welcome . . . I’m very pleased to make your acquaintance. Please raise your virtual glass of champers and toast to a kick-ass time, and a healthy you! Chin, chin J
Rachael has been amazing in helping me to improve my fitness and lose weight. I found that even if you know what you ought to be doing, it helps so much to have someone else to give guidance and support. Rachael’s program has helped me to set clear goals, and to make lifestyle changes in a way that I can continue long term. Her support is always positive and challenging, encouraging me to continually build on my progress. While working with Rachael, I have so far succeeded in running a 5km race (from never having run before), and having lost enough weight that people now have no hesitation in telling me how fat I used to be!

WOMAN, STOP BLABBING AND TELL ME HOW I START!!

Check out the Hour to Sparks Flying, 5 hour Flirtation or 10 Week Romance options (see Programs/Cost tab) and decide which is the best fit for you. Please remember most coaching is done via Skype or over the phone, but if you have a private jet and are happy for some flirting in sun soaked Jamaica, I’m up for it!
