Services Manager, Tuilavoni Lama, shares his enthusiasm about this new addition.
"I’ve known Steve for many years and I know that he’s going to bring so many positive qualities to our team as a whole, especially in our Health Coaching team."
For Lasei, joining EPC is more than just a new role – it's an opportunity to make meaningful change.
"There’s a lot of excitement for me. I’m thrilled to be a part of an organisation that provides services to empower our communities for better living and lifestyle change. It's very rewarding."
As we mark Heart Health Awareness Month, Lasei’s role as a Health Coach is a timely reminder of how vital it is to prioritise heart health and overall well-being. His passion for engaging with communities at a personal level is at the heart of his approach.
"I am very passionate about engaging with our communities to gain a deeper understanding of the support and services they require. This will allow for more effective contributions to their health and well-being."
Leading by example, Lasei practices what he preaches, balancing his physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.
"I prioritise regular physical exercise, whether it be the gym or going for walks with the family. I make sure to exercise regularly, have a balanced approach to nutrition, stay connected to supportive people, and take time for myself with activities like golf early Saturday morning or sitting at my piano. These things help me stay strong and centred in my daily life."
For those looking to embrace healthier habits during Heart Health Awareness Month and beyond, Lasei offers some advice.
"Create consistency in healthy habits. Include regular physical activity into your day, aim for balanced nutrition, and sufficient sleep. Small, sustainable changes are often more effective than drastic, short-term efforts.
"Staying connected with loved ones and seeking support when needed is also key for mental and emotional health. Remember, your well-being is an ongoing journey, so take it one step at a time. Celebrate the small wins!"
At EPC, we’re proud to offer Health Coaching services that support families on their journey toward better health. With Lasei now part of our team, we know our patients and families will benefit from his leadership and expertise.
Let’s make Heart Health Awareness Month a time to take those first steps toward healthier living together!
