Kia ora!

My name is Lou Gane (she/her), and I’m a PREKURE certified health coach based in New Plymouth, New Zealand. I live here with my partner and two children. When the sun’s out, you’ll probably find me with a coffee in hand, podcast playing, and dirt under my nails from tending to my garden.

My path to health coaching has been shaped by a variety of life experiences—from working in architecture, to spending two years volunteering in India, and later supporting tertiary students in pastoral care. Through it all, I’ve always been interested in understanding the many different ways people experience the world. But when I came to understand my neurodivergence at age 34, it was a turning point. It opened my eyes to new perspectives, deepening my passion for compassionate understanding and honoring each person’s unique needs.

In my coaching practice, I bring together these diverse experiences, my evidence-based health coaching training, and what I’ve learned from parenting a neurodivergent child and connecting with the wider neurodivergent community. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you discover strategies that work for your unique health journey.
