Soroya McGall works with young people aged 5-18 years, with the target group being 5-12 year olds. The main goal is to increase physical activity, but she also assists with healthy food choices.

Children are generally referred to the programme by a health professional if there is concern regarding the child’s weight. Once a referral has been made, Soroya will meet with your family on a monthly basis for up to a year. She will assist your family to come up with goals to increase physical activity and healthy food choices. Long term, she will help your family to sustain the lifestyle changes you have made to live happy, healthy lives.

Active & Well Active Families also works alongside the more intensive Bodywise programme which is funded by the Waikato DHB. If you would like more information regarding either programme, or are at all concerned about your child’s weight, Soroya would love to hear from you.
