NON-DIET NUTRITION +
INTUITIVE EATING
Are you ready to trust your body, quit obsessing about food, and finally let go of dieting?
If you've been struggling for years with your relationship with food and your body, I want to remind you that it is possible to find ease and joy once again when it comes to eating, moving and inhabiting your body.
As a certified intuitive eating counsellor, I can help you return to your body’s innate wisdom relating to hunger, fullness, and satisfaction. Together, we’ll work towards rejecting strict rules and beliefs about food, relearn how to eat according to your body’s hunger and fullness cues, uncover how to move and care for your body outside of what diet culture prescribes and regain a life free from dieting.

PERSON-CENTRED
ACT-BASED
I work with my therapy clients on a range of issues, such as
My approach is person-centred and integrative, which means it is client-led and pulls on a range of toolkits from across the field of counselling and psychotherapy for optimum support. Professionally, I gravitate towards Humanistic Psychotherapy and Existentialist Therapy, and I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as my primary toolkit.
ACT is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that is based on Acceptance, Mindfulness, and Valued Action. We learn to neutralise rigid, self-critical and self-limiting thoughts. We learn to desensitise ourselves from difficult emotions and sensations. And we learn to increase contact with the present moment, cultivating non-judgemental awareness. Finally, when we clarify what we really want our lives to be about, we take steps towards these decisions to create a life of purpose, power and passion.

ECHELON AND BODY AFFIRMING MOVEMENt
echelon is a body-affirming indoor cycling studio in the heart of dublin city. we get on the bike not to shrink ourselves, but to take up space and celebrate our here-and-now bodies. in the dark, covered in sweat, we recognise our capacities and our strength. all bodies, in all their diversity of size, shape, fitness level, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender and age are welcome.
let's move
I attended Carla for sports nutrition while marathon training but we took a lot of time to look at my relationship with food too and how to begin repairing that first. I knew I needed that extra support. It was a challenging but worthwhile experience and I'm delighted with where I am now.
