Nutritionist based in Galway and Oranmore
I am a nutritionist based in Galway and Oranmore who spent many years as a chef. Cooking everything from Michelin star food, to hearty brasserie cuisine both in Ireland and abroad. Then I had the opportunity to manage a large restaurant in Galway. That is what started my interest in good nutrition, due to the demands of my customers. After having my two children, I decided to go back to the books and study nutrition in IINH based in the University of Limerick and then IHS, Dublin. A few months into my studies in 2007 I was offered the opportunity to work in Health and Herbs on Sea Road, Galway with Dr.Dilis Clare.
I am now a nutritionist on her clinical team.
Recently in April 2016 I also joined the Arlington House Medical Centre team based in Oranmore, Galway.
I am also a Functional Medicine Practitioner linking diet, medical history and presenting symptoms to uncover the cause of your health problem(s).
In other words, my aim is to not only to make you feel better but ultimately find out why you are not feeling well. This involves diet and some lifestyle changes.
Some clients do need testing depending on the condition either using standard hospital laboratory testing, food intolerance tests and sometimes detailed functional tests. I tend to use Genova Diagnostics for detailed thyroid panels, adrenal function, stool testing, etc.
I also guest lecture in Athlone IT and work along side GRETB on positive nutrition based projects with a variety of students.
Nutritional therapy is fast becoming the key to optimal health.I also give cookery demonstrations on healthy eating and other subjects. To sign up to my cookery classes(see events page) or for a nutritional consultation call 087 9074701 or use my contact page.
