Where it all began

My story in health & well-being began over 35 years ago. In my early 20s my passion was to be healthy & active. I always had a good relationship with food which is very important in maintaining health and wellness. Having travelled and worked for a year in my 20s I returned to our family hotel, which had its benefits and challenges. The hours were long and demanding but when I look back I realise I was always consistent and disciplined in my daily habits.

The habits and choices I made have had a lasting benefit which I still feel today

I worked out in the gym five times a week and always enjoyed real food.

Finding My Passion

It was in my early 30s I knew I wasn’t truly content. So I thought about what I loved, what lit me up, what was I passionate about. Nutrition and health. I signed up for my first of many courses in Nutrition. In 1999 I did a diploma in dietetics, followed by a certified in positive psychology. I continued running the family hotel with my brother and sister until 2014, when ultimately the business closed due to the down turn in the economy.

Finding Clarity

I packed up my life at 50 and went to Florence for a year to get some clarity and decide what to do next with my life. I was totally out of my comfort zone with no Italian, no job, no friends and living in a new country. I was consistent and disciplined and had joined a gym before I got a job. I ate like an Italian, eating real nutritious food, supplying vitamins and minerals to by body and mind. I could see the positive impact it had and knew then that I wanted to share how I felt and help people realise how food, movement, sleep, and how you think has a huge impact on our overall health.

Furthering my Education

I returned to Ireland and completed a certificate in Health Coaching with the Institute for Integrated Nutrition. In that time I wrote a book for children which sold on Amazon, “I can eat a rainbow”. I continued to gather moss in the health and well-being area when I took off to Thailand and trained to become a yoga teacher. Finally, I did an advanced diploma in Nutrition and health coaching with the IIN. In 2020 I expanded my knowledge and became an instructor in Buteyko breathing and Oxygen advantage for yoga Instructor.
