Nutrition Consultation
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A CONSULTATION?
So, my passion these days is empowering others to navigate their way towards making better choices for their health. Whether you have particular health issues or have decided to improve your diet, my hope is to pass on enthusiasm for whole foods, communicate clearly and listen to you, in order to understand what changes are practical for you to make. Â
I would be privileged to support you on your journey towards better health.
Consultations can be In-person or on Zoom, for your convenience! During a nutrition consultation, we would discuss your aims, current & past health history and of course, what you currently eat. Book a free 15 minute discovery call to find out more if you have any questions at all!

What is a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist?
A Nutritional Therapist provides personalised diet and lifestyle advice, which is customized to suit your current needs and lifestyle, with your health goals in mind. This includes advice about food and lifestyle changes, practical recipes and ideas on how to incorporate all of these into your daily routine.
The Naturopathic Principles which I am trained in, are based on the principles of Naturopathy which were first used by the Hippocratic School of Medicine in about 400 BC. The Greek philosopher Hippocrates believed that we should view the whole person in order to find a root cause of disease, and use the laws of nature to support healing. When preparing a nutrition plan, all aspects of a person’s being are taken into consideration by applying a holistic approach. Naturopaths are teachers, empowering clients to take responsibility for their own health, through making educated choices.
My Qualifications
A qualified Nutritional Therapist holds a diploma in Nutritional Therapy and is trained in basic biochemistry, physiology and pathology as well as supervised clinical practice. As such, a Nutritional Therapist is qualified to work in private practice and see clients on a one to one or group basis.
I achieved my Diploma in Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Dublin. This diploma course can be completed in four years, but I chose to do both my lectures and clinics together in third year and so completed in three. This was quite tough as I was also working full time, so let’s just say that I was a little tired by the end and was my own first client!
However, the main reason why I chose this particular course, was due to the fact that it offered its students the most supervised clinic hours. This was extremely important to me, in terms of learning how to apply the knowledge in a clinic setting. I was also very focussed on learning more about how we can support our health through a holistic lens, and so the naturopathic principles appealed to me enormously.
