Meet Nigel

Nigel is our Amplified Health & Wellness founder, and a qualified PREKURE Health Coach & Mental Health Coach.

I’ve been where you are.

Years ago, I was seriously unwell – overweight, smoking, binge drinking, and struggling to ride 2km on my bike without needing to call for help. A blood clot forced me to change, and I did.

I’ve since lost 47kg, completed seven Coast to Coast races, and built a life where I’ve got the energy to keep up with my kids, feel good in my body, and show up fully – for my family, my work, and myself.

Now, I help others do the same.

At Amplified Health, I combine lived experience with qualifications in health coaching, movement, nutrition, sleep, and mental health. I support clients with real-life tools and a step-by-step approach to feeling better and staying well – physically, mentally, and emotionally.

My Why

My goal is to build a supportive community, one that helps people get back to basics, reconnect with their goals, and feel part of something bigger.

It's not always about competing. It’s about completing and keeping momentum going, together.

    • 6+ years’ coaching experience

    • Certified in nutrition, movement, behaviour change, and advanced mental health

    • ACT therapy and trauma-informed

    • Holistic coaching approach focused on sustainable change

    • Goal setting and tailored action plans

    • Weekly check-ins and ongoing support

    • Training and nutrition guidance

    • Body scanning and progress tracking

    • Celebrating each win — no matter how small

  • You don’t need a diagnosis or a referral. Just get in touch. I offer one-on-one health coaching in Cromwell (or online via Zoom), with personalised plans and realistic strategies based on where you're at now — not where you think you should be.

  • I mostly support everyday men and women who are juggling parenting, work and ageing bodies — but I also work with a range of clients who are neurodivergent, trauma-impacted, in high-stress industries, or navigating health conditions.

What my clients have to say
  • Two men shaking hands at a health and wellness event, standing in front of a banner with logos and a digital timer, both smiling and wearing casual clothing and caps.
  • Two runners, a man and a woman, smiling and holding hands while participating in a race on a mountainous trail. More runners are visible behind them, and snow-capped mountains are in the background.
  • A man sitting cross-legged on a bench, wearing a cap, a t-shirt with a 'FRAGILE' sticker, and a smartwatch, with tattoos on his arm, in a room with a sign on the wall behind him.
  • A man with tattoos, wearing a purple t-shirt, beige shorts, and a red cap, is in a gym lifting a barbell with wooden weights, crouched down in a deadlift position.
  • Three people trail running outdoors on a sunny day with mountainous terrain and trees in the background. The woman in the foreground is smiling and wearing pink sunglasses, the man beside her has a tattoo on his arm, and two women are visible in the background, one with a red cap and the other wearing sunglasses.
  • Group of eleven people, including young adults and older adults, posing in a gym with fitness equipment and a wall sign that reads 'Amplified Health & Wellness, Whakarahi Hauora.' They are sitting and kneeling on gym mats, smiling at the camera.

What Our Clients Say

  • I would highly recommend Nigel to anyone who wants a Health/Mental health Coach.

    I had a stroke in late 2021, and my fitness and motivation took a real hit. Nigel reached out and started coaching me over video calls – even though I’m in the Far North and he’s in the South Island. His support, knowledge, and genuine encouragement have made a massive difference in my recovery. I wouldn’t be where I am now without him.

  • If you’re after a mental health coach who’s down-to-earth, supportive, and easy to talk to, Nigel’s your guy.

    I started working with Nigel in April 2022, looking for support with both physical and mental health. At first, it was mainly about fitness and gym training, now I’m training with him three times a week and feeling stronger, fitter, and more confident in my body. Even on rest days, I’m more mindful about moving my body – something I never thought I’d do.

  • Nigel’s one-on-one coaching got me moving again, built my fitness, and helped me get in the best shape possible before surgery.

    I’d never set foot in a gym and honestly hated the idea of it. But after struggling with mobility and waiting on a hip replacement, I knew I needed help. I’m now back walking, biking, even jogging – and feeling better than I have in years. I couldn’t have done it without him.

  • I wouldn’t be here without his support.

    I came to Nigel at rock bottom — overweight, smoking, and no motivation. He helped me break things down, one habit at a time. Six months on, I’ve lost 10kg, cut down the smokes, and can run 5km on my own. I’ve even signed up for a 12km race. I wouldn’t be here without his support.

  • Nigel’s structured yet relatable approach has supported not just individual staff, but our overall team culture.

    In 2024, we engaged Nigel from Amplified Health to deliver a tailored mental health program for our team. The impact has been incredibly positive – improved fitness, confidence, and more open conversations around wellbeing across the workplace. We highly recommend connecting with him.
