What is Health Coaching?
Our health coaching option is a one on one confidential video or phone call with the goal of guiding you to that important next step towards a healthier life.
This idea started from the realization that there are limitations within each healthcare professional’s scope of practice. For example, many of Mike’s physiotherapy patients had other health issues such as nutrition deficits or mental health barriers that prevented them from being able to carry out their physiotherapy program and reach their goals. Even after adding in a holistic screen into his practice many people coming into physiotherapy were not in a place in their life to deal with more than one thing at a time (e.g. deal with movement through physiotherapy and their mental health through psychology). Health coaching was already happening indirectly in these physiotherapy sessions however not to the extent to make enough of an impact. This led to the launch of the health coaching service in order to address people as a whole and give them the time they need to work together towards the best path forward.
Health coaching is a way to get individualized guidance on how to reach your goals the fastest. At times there are many barriers that prevent us from reaching our goals. They usually fall into four categories: sleep, nutrition, movement, and mental health. These make up our foundational pillars with breathing as an encompassing fifth area of health that influences all the others.
When the primary barrier requires a solution that is outside of your coach’s scope, we will get you into the right professional’s hands in order to maintain an evidence informed approach. This may include health care professionals outside of Inspire Health & Performance as the most important goal for us is to get you on the best path possible whether through us or not. The quality of collaboration within our team and outside of our team is something that we pride ourselves on and separates us from the crowd.
The coaching calls consist of clearly identifying your top level goals, working with you to identify and address any barriers or challenges you may be facing, and to establish an action plan with a narrow focus to allow you to start making small, consistent steps forward. The key to making fast changes to your health is to make sure you are on the right path. Once you are there it’s all about making seemingly small, hardly noticeable steps forward consistently over time.

Our Google Reviews
Since Mike helped my husband recover from and manage severe sciatic pain, I’ve been to him myself and have recommended him to multiple people. He is friendly, compassionate, considerate, and extremely passionate about his craft, and approaches physiotherapy from a total wellness perspective. I had issues with neck / shoulder pain and tension, as well as knee pain, and he helped me track the source of these issues from head to toe. He also took my entire lifestyle into consideration when building a program I could realistically execute. I trust him completely and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

I invited Mike from Inspire Performance to create and deliver a session on Wellness for the Rona Inc. Western Distribution network. Mike is knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. He checked in often about the content of the presentation to ensure it was what we envisioned, and his communication was clear and timely. The content of the presentation was informative, concise and appealing to a diverse audience – he even developed a worksheet for the participants to work through during the presentation and it supported participant learning. I highly recommend Inspire Performance for their approach to wellness and their ability to engage learners on what can sometimes be an intimidating topic. Well done Mike and team!

Mike’s commitment to his clients is second to none!
I have been working with Mike Azzopardi over the past 12 months, I now would consider him a friend. My history as an athlete provided numerous opportunities to works with many sports Physio and medical professionals. Mike’s commitment to adapt his knowledge along with the will and determination he has for his clients welfare results in the self inspiration, allowing his clients to meet their goals. I feel Mike cares for each and everyone of his clients. In a world where the basic human interaction are being forgotten mike methods I have found have been life changing in my ability to function.

Mike is a committed coach who really listens to and works with an athlete to accomplish their goals. He helps strike a balance between what you want to do (run all the kilometers in my case) and what your goal is (get to the start line healthy and hopefully fast). He cares a lot and is very invested in his clients.
I started working with Mike as a physiotherapist after several injuries and then he started coaching me back to running. With his help and plan, I accomplished my goal of getting back to running a sub 3 hour marathon after not running a marathon for 1.5 years. I ran a 2:56:51 marathon at the 2023 Saskatchewan Marathon and was the second place female! Working with Mike was important part of making this happen.

Over the years, I’ve had several physiotherapists due to sports injuries. Mike is knowledgeable and stays updated with the latest research. What also stood out to me was his holistic approach. Appreciate your support!
