About

I'm Gemma Sanda UKIHCA-RHC registered Health Coach and founder of Glolife Integrative Health

I established Glolife Integrative Health to help others achieve overall well-being after facing my own health challenges following the birth of my youngest child. At that time, I didn’t really know what to do. After struggling to find a suitable approach, I hired a Health, Wellness, and Nutrition Coach who helped me understand my emotional, physical, and spiritual needs and how they are interconnected. Through behavioral change therapy, I gained the clarity I needed to implement the necessary changes in my life. I realised that focusing on only one aspect of my health made it difficult to create long-term sustainable changes. None of my previous attempts had addressed the root causes of my issues. Health coaching was different because I wasn’t being told what to do; I was discovering solutions for myself. My coach helped me confront barriers I had kept closed for years, allowing me to move forward. With actionable goals, accountability, and support, I lost weight and learned to manage stressful situations without feeling overwhelmed. This newfound clarity enabled me to work on other areas of my life that I had unintentionally neglected. This transformative experience inspired me to pursue a career in health coaching. I trained with one of the best health coaching academies in the UK. Combined with my extensive 25-year background in holistic massage therapy, cosmetology, personal training, and yoga and breathwork therapy, I developed an integrative health approach that works, regardless of where you are on your journey. If you have a chronic health condition or are at risk of developing long-term health issues, health coaches are credentialed to work with you and other healthcare providers in a person-centered way. Most of us know what we need to do; we just need to understand why we feel stuck and how to create the changes we desire

I have a typical ENFP personality type, often referred to as a Campaigner.

We are often seen as the difficult ones who refuse to conform to societal expectations and pressures. We are the types that As we grow we thrive on passing onto others with the ripple effect. We dont leave anyone behind.

"I believe that everyone has the choice to take care of their health and wellness, but I understand that it’s not always easy. That’s why I am here to support my clients every step of the way. Accountability and support are essential for changing our habits, and I would be honored to help you achieve your optimal health."

*What is a virtual Coffee/Tea?

With the world moving so fast, it makes sense that our busy lives often lead us to meet online first. This allows you to discuss your needs and see if I am a good fit to support your health journey, and vice versa. I use a beautiful, GDPR-compliant software that enables virtual meetings with my clients. You only need to join from your phone, iPad, or desktop—it's that simple! I've made it as easy as possible to work with me, so we can keep you centered and focus on your overall health.
