About

I am a qualified Nutrition and Health Coach (Irish Institute of Nutrition and Health) and have a lifelong passionate interest in Nutrition. I am motivated,  positive, healthy, energetic, forward looking and a food loving person.

I worked for 10 years as a Performance Coach with a Scottish Competitive Swimming Club. My experience includes coaching Elite Athletes at Regional, National and International Level. My experience also includes coaching the Scottish National Youth Swimming Squad for international competitions. As a Performance Coach, I have always emphasised the importance of Nutrition which in my view holds an equal value to the daily intensive physical training schedule of the Elite Athlete. 

The importance of eating the correct food, for me, began at a very early age. I was diagnosed a Coeliac when I was 6 months old and blessed that my diagnoses was identified early. I am lucky that my parents sought out the support and help I needed to make growing up with this condition as easy and as normal as possible. The support, guidance and education I received growing up is what focused my attention in choosing nourishing, good, healthy (and exciting) food.

My interest in Nutrition and Health intensified In 2008 when I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. Believe it or not, I was extremely lucky that my Cancer was discovered during a routine medical procedure, in a hospital which is the Centre of Excellence in Europe for Bowel Cancer Research. I feel very fortunate my tumour was found in time and very lucky to have made a full recovery.  

As a Nutrition and Health Coach I continue to emphasis the importance of Nutrition in everyday living. My passion is to help clients achieve their health, diet and lifestyle goals.
