Practical, empowering guidance to build the habits, mindset and rhythms of a truly well life
Most of us already know what we should be doing to feel better. Yet knowing and doing are two very different things — and that's exactly where coaching comes in.
Health and lifestyle coaching is a supportive, forward-focused partnership designed to help you create real, lasting change in the way you live. Unlike therapy (which typically explores the past) or purely giving advice (which rarely sticks), coaching works on the doing — helping you build sustainable habits, navigate obstacles, reconnect with your values and create a life that genuinely feels good to live.
Drawing on 17+ years as a holistic health practitioner — including naturopathy, acupuncture, sports therapy and aesthetics — Colin brings a uniquely integrated perspective. He doesn't just coach your mindset. He understands how your body, hormones, nervous system, stress load and lifestyle all interweave.
"Real transformation doesn't come from willpower, discipline or another restrictive plan. It comes from deep understanding — of yourself, your patterns, your body, your values — combined with small, consistent actions done with compassion."
— Colin Solomon, Create Your Wellness
Nourishing, realistic eating that supports your energy, mood and long-term health — not another restrictive plan.
Finding ways to move that your body loves — not punishing workouts you dread and abandon.
Deep, restorative sleep as the cornerstone of hormonal, mental and physical health.
Calming tools, boundaries and practices to live outside of fight-or-flight — for good.
Shifting the inner stories and beliefs that shape everything you do, from food choices to life decisions.
Relationships, community and purpose — the often-forgotten pillars of genuine wellbeing.
Designing your home, routines and digital world to support — not sabotage — your goals.
Reconnecting with what truly matters so your life feels aligned, not just busy.
Clients commonly work with Colin around:
We begin with a deep listening session exploring where you are now, where you want to be, and what's been getting in the way. You'll leave with clarity and a clear sense of direction — often the most valuable session of all.
Colin designs a bespoke coaching plan built around your goals, lifestyle and rhythm — no cookie-cutter programmes. Small, sustainable steps that add up to profound change over time.
Weekly or fortnightly sessions (in person in Watford or online) where we celebrate wins, troubleshoot sticking points, and keep you moving forward with accountability and genuine support.
Ongoing encouragement, resources and check-ins between sessions — because real life happens in the in-between moments, not just during calls.
As old habits fade and new ones take root, we refine and expand your plan. You'll start to see yourself — and your life — transform in ways that feel sustainable and genuinely yours.
Many clients continue with occasional coaching as a long-term wellbeing partnership — a trusted sounding board and accountability anchor for life's next chapters.
I don't do shame. I don't do "tough love" for its own sake. I don't believe in plans that ignore how real life actually works. What I do believe in is honesty, practicality, warmth and the extraordinary capacity each person has to live a more vibrant life when they're properly supported.
"Wellness isn't just about losing weight or ticking a gym box. It's about feeling alive in your body, clear in your mind, and at home in your life."
Because real change doesn't come from willpower. It comes from deep understanding — of yourself, your patterns, your body, your values — combined with small, consistent actions done with compassion. That's what we build together.
With over 17 years of experience as a holistic health practitioner, Colin brings a rare blend of disciplines to coaching — naturopathy, acupuncture, sports therapy, aesthetics and mindset work — so your coaching is informed by a genuine understanding of the whole person.
His path into this work was born out of his own healing journey. After a personal health crisis, he had to rebuild his life from the ground up — which means he coaches not from a place of theory, but from lived experience.
Many clients pair coaching with naturopathy to address the biological drivers of their challenges, 5 Elements Acupuncture to calm the nervous system, or sports therapy for physical wellbeing and confidence.
Create Your Wellness is based in Watford, Hertfordshire, welcoming clients from across the region and online clients from anywhere in the UK and worldwide.

Therapy is typically focused on healing the past — unpacking trauma, mental health conditions and emotional wounds. Coaching is forward-focused — working with where you are now and where you want to go. They complement each other beautifully, and some clients do both.
Advice tells you what to do; coaching helps you actually do it. Coaching draws out your own wisdom, builds real accountability, addresses the underlying patterns that keep you stuck, and supports sustainable change — not just another failed attempt.
Most clients work with Colin over 3–6 months, with weekly or fortnightly sessions. Real, lasting change takes consistent support. For shorter-term, specific goals, packages of 4–8 sessions are also available.
If you've struggled with change before, it's usually not because you lack willpower — it's because the approach didn't address the full picture. Together we'll look at what's really kept you stuck, remove the obstacles, and build change in a way that finally sticks.
No. The approach is personalised and flexible — working with your real life, your preferences, and your values. Change that feels forced doesn't last. Change that feels right does.
That's perfectly okay — and often where the most powerful coaching begins. Part of the early work is getting clear on what you actually want, beyond what you think you "should" want. Clarity itself is transformative.
