Health from an Intuitive Standpoint

Addressing the basics is crucial to initiate a sustainable change in health. I focus on promoting efficient digestion to improve energy levels & detoxification. The immune system is a brilliant protector of the body and is often overrun with toxins, endogenous and exogenous. ​ 
Together, we can rebuild trust in the body and clean up diet, lifestyle factors and address energetic imbalances. 

From a Heart-Centered Approach

I look at the whole picture:
Addressing psycho-somatic stressors & their effect on the body
Fostering the relationship with the inner being
Opening up a dialogue to practice forgiveness
Nurturing the gut, the heart and the brain is critical to overall health and wellbeing

Listening to your body

For many years, I lived with IBS that worsened with time. Rather ironically, I got very sick while I was doing a Masters in Public Health. Going the conventional route, I was told:
  1. There is nothing wrong with you, there is no explanation for your symptoms.
  2. You have a painful chronic condition you will live with for the rest of your life.

In early 2015, I decided to make my health a top priority. I went against the advice of my medical doctor and did a food intolerance test (IgG antibody blood test) in Dublin. I found this test extremely beneficial since it highlighted my trigger foods and I adjusted my diet accordingly.

I now manage symptoms through diet and other adjustments, which is my motivation to continue with this lifestyle. I hope that this platform provides inspiration, support and education for those that do.
"If we can only change our attitude toward illness to one of acceptance and understanding that it is a message to be learned from, we would alleviate a great deal of feat that we have about illness, not only on a personal level but perhaps on a national or global scale as well."

During my transition from graduating to starting my career in public health, I took up a part-time yoga teacher training program. I wanted to explore ways to help improve my health and ways to share this knowledge with others. I secured a job working between the Radiology Departments of 2 large inner city hospitals in Dublin. This was a great experience where I learned the inner-workings of hospitals, yet I was not satisfied being on the treatment side of health. 

My Transformation and Adaptations

This inspired me to continue my path of education in the preventative side of health. I relocated to Vancouver, BC and enrolled in a holistic nutrition program. This website is about my story learning how to customize diet in order to feel healthy and wholesome. It combines a lifestyle blog with recipes, creative, healthy eating, tips on sustainability as well as nutrition and yoga services.  

Wider Scope

I hope you find some of my tips, recipes, and suggestions helpful to become more whole. Enjoy!
Although trained in public health and holistic nutrition,  I am not a medical doctor. Please consider my suggestions with caution, not every method will work the same for every person
