When you care for everyone else, who’s looking after you?

Caring is demanding. You’re running on empty, sleep is patchy, and your own health keeps slipping down the list. You want change but you’re overwhelmed, short on time, and not sure where to start. If nothing shifts, the exhaustion will keep stealing your energy, patience, and joy.

A carer is anyone who regularly looks after someone else – whether it's a family member, friend, or part of your job. This includes health professionals like support workers,  nurses, midwives, and doctors.

The help Sue wished every carer had

During my 25+ years of nursing, I kept seeing the same pattern: carers quietly putting themselves last until overwhelm, health issues, isolation, and burnout set in.


CARE Health Coaching was created to give carers a calm space to be heard, and practical, small steps that fit real life, so you can keep caring without losing yourself.

How CARE helps

I coach family and professional carers to make simple, sustainable changes that work in real life,  not perfect life.


Using the CARE approach — Connect,  Acknowledge,  Restore,  Empower, you’ll leave each session with one clear action, kind accountability, and tools grounded in behavioural science and 25+ years of clinical insight, so you          feel better, live better, and care better.


  • One clear step every session
  • Confidential, judgement-free support
  • A focus on your own health and wellbeing
  • Restored confidence, choice and a sense of control
  • Flexible: Christchurch & online

These are genuine client experiences but some details have been omitted to maintain client confidentiality.

The simple shifts that ended my burnout.

"I was burnt out from stress at work and neglecting my own needs so my wife suggested I try health coaching. Sue was absolutely brilliant right from the start - kind, empathetic and non-judgemental. She helped me to identify some simple changes that I could make and, basically, life has been so much better since. I would recommend Sue wholeheartedly."

John J | Christchurch

Being truly heard changed everything.

"I have been working with Sue for almost a year, and it has been an incredibly positive and rewarding journey. She brings an extraordinary coaching presence, with compassionate listening and deeply empathetic responses that have guided me to discover my own inner voice and sense of purpose in life. Her sessions are supportive, insightful, and truly enjoyable. I always leave feeling more grounded and empowered. Working with Sue has been a delightful experience, and I am deeply grateful for her guidance."

Sasha L | Christchurch

From ‘not sure’ to results I could feel.

"I decided to try health coaching to see if I could improve my fitness and health levels as well as lose a few unwanted kgs not knowing what to expect. I was very impressed with how it has helped me and how I've found the extra motivation to achieve my goals. I found Sue to be warm, easy to talk to and very helpful in helping me along this journey. I look forward to each session as well as seeing results."
