Interview with Gwen Rose, HCT Student, Toronto, Ontario Shared with Loris Sofia Gregory, Newsletter Editor, August 23 Health Coach student Gwen Rose shared her recent "roller coaster" gremlin-inducing experiences when offered the opportunity to make a pitch for health coaching to the Toronto Police Service. A licensed physiotherapist for 30+ years, Gwen is eight months into the HCT program. As she puts it, I signed up for Health Coach Training not really knowing what I was getting into and with little time to dedicate to program.

After being disabled from my dream job of 11 years at my dream company, Harley-Davidson, I was too ill to notice that I was left in a life’s-purpose vacuum. My energy lines, the things that gave me drive and purpose were gone. My life had changed dramatically. The “sick bay” replaced the “jet set” until I started inching my way back to health.
