Everything You Need to Know
About Health Coaching at the Botanic
What Does a Health Coach Do?
A health coach focuses on personalised wellbeing, and looks at each person individually. We take a close look at your lifestyle, nutrition, movement, relationships, sleep and stress load, and try to identify the root cause of any imbalances you may be experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally. Together we then create a plan to change certain aspects of your lifestyle, because when these components are well balanced, you become healthier in mind and body, and enjoy a more energetic, fulfilled life.
What Makes a Health Coach at the Botanic Unique?
Our people! Our health coach works closely with our Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional European Medicine practitioners and our personal trainers to find the right solutions for you. Together we explore your emotional, physical and dietary issues and create an empowering framework to lead you on a path towards your best life!


What Sets Our Health Coach Apart?
Kim is a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach – so the crème de la crème of health coaching! As someone who has been through her own personal health issues and trauma, Kim understands just how important it is to have an empathetic ear alongside professional advice. She looks at every aspect of your lifestyle to find ways you can really optimise your health and yourself!

Kim Smolders
Health coaching at the Botanic is led by Kim Smolders, a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. Her journey into the holistic health world was prompted by her own health challenges and a deep desire to pursue a more authentic self and lifestyle. This holistic lifestyle not only healed her, but also inspired her to share her knowledge to help others become the best version of themselves – mentally, emotionally, and physically. The holistic health enthusiast launched her wellbeing career by studying health coaching at the Dr Sears Wellness Institute in the US, then specialised at the internationally acclaimed Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA). She now works with Xavier Le Clef and Ingmar Harthoorn to transform lives at the Botanic Health Spa and Club!
Why Do You Need a Health Coach?
Health Coaching is Right for You If
Working with the BHC
You’re working with our Director of Sports Ingmar Harthoorn to tone up, lose weight or deal with some other fitness issue. We say, take it up a notch! Health coach Kim’s nutritional guidance is second to none. Take her advice, it’s good! She’ll tell you what foods to steer clear of and which to favour. Her tips, ideas, recipes and short-term plans empower you to create your own long-term nutrition plan to follow at home! Combining your workout with diet and lifestyle changes ensures maximum results!
Working with the BHS
So, you’ve had your Health MOT full body screening and now you know more about the state of your health. But what next? Yes, you can take medicines and tinctures, but wouldn’t it be great to delve even deeper into the root causes, really get right in there and revise the habits that have contributed to your symptoms and issues? That’s what Kim is here to help you with!
