A Sincere Thank You

On behalf of the HCANZA Board of Directors and the organizing committee for the "Innovative Futures through Health Coaching" conference, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. Whether you were a speaker, part of our dedicated conference delivery team, a sponsor, or one of the many attendees who brought energy and passion to the event, this success belongs to you all.

To our incredible speakers, their expertise and unique insights were a beating heart of this conference. They captivated us with their knowledge and challenged us to think differently. Sessions were highly rated, and it’s no wonder—they sparked the kinds of conversations that inspire real change.

What’s more, the involvement of everyone in this conference community, helped us move closer to HCANZA’s key goals: unifying the health and wellness coaching industry, fostering collaboration for patient-centred care, and strengthening our vibrant community of health coaches.

Extra special thanks to our own HCANZA coaches who's contribution went above and beyond - Youna Angevin-Castro and Susan Harbers, who are highly valued drivers on the conference team.
Steven Roigard and Bee Pennington who volunteered to run the Yoga and Breathwork sessions. To our fabulous award judges Sam McBride, Cliff Harvey and Sharon Tomkins with the unenviable task of assessing 60 nominations.
We are also so grateful to Ariana Rangi who gave the very moving Mihi on Friday morning.

Thank you, truly, for everyone's hard work, dedication, and passion. We’re so excited for what lies ahead for 2025, and can’t wait to see how we can continue working together to keep advancing health coaching and inspiring innovation for patient centred care.
