I worked for many years in Cork and the UK in various roles culminating in working as a Specialist IT Recruitment Consultant. My second child was diagnosed with a Life-threatening Disease, Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This mainly affects the lungs as well as the digestive system and internal organs. This changed the trajectory of our/my life and I decided to remain at home with my daughters. Nutrition is one of the keys to wellness for CF. They have difficulty in absorbing nutrients and calories from their food/diet. I was committed to our daughter the best start possible. Exercise and lifestyle is of huge importance also, particularly for lung clearance. I was actively researching ways to keep the body healthy and well. Having experienced some health concerns in recent years myself, I came to believe that its not only what you put into your body that matters, its how you move it, how you treat it, how you look after it matters too. This lead me to study Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching (NLC), thus leading me here today. Nutrition and Lifestyle coaching focuses on diet and lifestyle advice. To redress nutritional imbalances for disease prevention, optimum health and the client’s peak performance. I take a collaborative approach with the client/s, focusing on the individual as a whole, not just the physical but also personal well-being. I will tailor make a nutrition and lifestyle plan to suit you. I cater for *Individuals of all ages
*Groups
*Children
*Teenagers and young adults
Providing you with a comprehensive, individual, nutritional programme. Specifically designed to enhance your well-being and, put you on a journey to improved health. The right nutrition may help improve the body’s resistance to illness and disease and can even prolong lifespan. It has huge benefits in many areas affecting our health and well-being. With hectic lifestyles and little time taken for personal wellness, working longer hours, eating wrong foods, drinking too much and, not taking time out just to “be”. The result of what is consumed can have a profound effect on digestive health, mood, cardiovascular health, skin, weight etc., I’m here to help you to NOT be that person! I do not believe in “preaching” or “Scolding”. I will support you through this by being a coach and an ally. Let’s face it, most people actually know what they “should” be doing. It’s how you get there that we be the focus. Overcoming together, your barriers along the way. It has been proven that working together in a collaborative fashion, is more effective and usually results in sustainable, long term changes. It has taken a long time to get where you are today and, it will take some time to get to where you want to be. Patience and perseverance will be key factors. Changes will often be so gradual you won’t even realise they have become lifelong habits. Learn to take care of your body, internally and externally. Health and happiness,
Olive
