As Health and Wellbeing Coaches, we will be taking the lead in supporting and enhancing current pathways to smoking cessation, as well as contributing to goals related to the other Burnley Together priorities such as weight management, falls prevention, and pulmonary/respiratory conditions. We can provide an effective intervention to set personalised goals and change behaviours to support and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Meet Kirsty and Anita, our Health and Wellbeing Coaches
Kirsty and Anita have worked as health focussed health professionals for over 10 years. They are both highly qualified, possessing numerous Level 4 specialist qualifications, including cardiac rehabilitation, Exercise after Stroke, and Cancer Rehabilitation. Together, we’re looking forward to continuing our work promoting health and wellbeing across Burnley.
Kirsty
My first job for Burnley Leisure & Culture was initially on the Exercise after Parkinson’s and Stroke Programme and after a year, I moved onto cardiac rehabilitation. I am very passionate about these areas after my Grandad suffered several heart attacks and strokes and I felt I wanted to help others in the same situation. Within the Healthy Lifestyles Team, I also supported adults through their weight loss journeys and looked after individuals on the GP referral scheme. I love how every day is different, I get to work with individuals at a time when they are most vulnerable and help to build their confidence, fitness levels, and overall mental wellbeing – what’s not to love!
Anita
My first role was with Burnley Leisure & Culture, where I worked in primary schools promoting health and wellbeing through healthy cooking and physical activity. I then progressed to working with adults in the Healthy Lifestyles team, supporting GP referrals, weight management, falls prevention, cardiac rehabilitation, and cancer rehabilitation. I’ve always been passionate about health and wellbeing – for me, it’s about making a difference and empowering people to make positive changes to become healthier. I really enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their goals.
