Nutrition and health coach preparing a fresh salad in a red bowl, with cherry tomatoes and chopped green vegetables on a white table.

I work to support and empower people who want to make change in any area of life or all areas of their life.

You might want to change your life by doing something bold like rediscovering yourself and planning that trip of a life time. Or maybe you’re dreaming of starting your own business, writing that book, or radically changing your habits towards health and food.

I’m here to help you find your spark again, uncover what really motivates you and help you to find out what you’re truly capable of, away from the noise of societal and family pressures.

It is time to rediscover you for YOU.

Where it all began

✧ MY FIRST BUSINESS

I set up my own business in my mid-20s, I had worked in all areas of hospitality, I grew up in it, from a young age. After traveling and working abroad for a couple of years, I came back to Ireland to set up my own business.
I had a very romanticised idea of what a café would be like, I had big ideas and dreams but a couple of years in, I was heading for burnout, I didn’t recognise myself any more. I was in a dark place, something I had dreamed of became my living nightmare, as dramatic as it sounds that’s what it felt like, I knew I needed to find a way out.
✧ A LIFE-CHANGING JOURNEY

I was lucky enough to lease the café to a neighbouring business, which jumped a career into property. However, other things were still going on in my life that also impacted my mental health, and I decided return to third-level education and study psychology. I knew I wanted to understand myself better.
Just a few weeks into my studies, I knew that this was for me. Not only did I find the subject fascinating, it also gave me a better understanding of myself and why I had burnt out. My journey to psychology had been life-changing in the most positive way, with lots of tears and a few bumps along the way but worth the struggle to get to know who I am.
Many things shape us: family expectations, friends, school, where we live, our gender, sexuality, our belief-system and environment. With this in mind it can be difficult to know what we truly want or need for ourselves. Unpacking this to achieve fulfilment in life is tough but rewarding.
✧ PSYCHOLOGY - A WINDOW TO MYSELF

When I closes my business, I felt a lot of emotions. Failure. Judgement. The big one for me was lost of identity, loss of future me, the person I had created in my head, she wasn’t there anymore. Who am I now? Rebuilding who I am, I wanted to understand who this person was I called ME, studying psychology for me was a window into myself.
I knew I wanted to help and support people find themselves again like I did, when I did my masters in psychology and worked with people in coaching, I realised health, food and nutrition was also a big player in peoples worth and happiness. After I received my masters, I knew I didn’t have the knowledge to offer my clients when it came to their health, so I studied some more this time in nutrition, and that’s when Reclaim & Reframe coaching was born.
