About PREKURE: Leading Health Coach Education

What Makes PREKURE Different

Our mission? To extend not just the human lifespan, but more importantly, the human healthspan – the years we live healthy, well, and fully empowered.

How? By training masterful Health Coaches – a new breed of health professional who sees the person, not just the problem. With deep knowledge and fluency across metabolic and mental health, paired with advanced coaching skills, PREKURE Coaches deliver true agency through presence, listening, and curiosity.

A word from Dr Louise Schofield

Dr. Louise Schofield, CEO and Co-Founder of PREKURE, smiling in a professional portrait wearing a white blouse.

At PREKURE, we’re challenging the conventional medical model and leading the shift from reactive “ambulance at the bottom of the cliff” treatment to proactive, whole-person health. We believe in a new world of medicine that is preventative, person-centric, and future-focused. It’s about thriving, not just surviving.

Professional Health Coaches are the missing link in our current healthcare system. Trained in the latest health lifestyle science and transformational coaching skills that are the key to helping people make lasting behavioural changes.

Since we started in 2018, we have graduated over 700 Professional Health Coaches across NZ, Australia, Southeast Asia, and the UK. They are making a real difference in their own lives, and helping their clients live themselves well every day. We’ve empowered over 100 health entrepreneurs to start their own purpose-driven businesses, transforming their passion into impactful careers, and we’ve helped dozens of health professionals go from burnout to bliss in their careers.

If you are frustrated with the current healthcare system and believe there must be a better way, if you are looking for more purpose and want to make a real difference, if you are a lifelong learner, constantly seeking growth and improvement, then this very well might be the right path for you.

Together, our community of changemakers are extending the human health span and improving lives globally. I invite you to join us in our mission and help change medicine. For good.
