Hi, I'm Julie

Where it started

My connection to health started long before I stepped into a gym or opened a nutrition textbook. My mother was a physiotherapist, so movement and mindful eating were part of daily life. She taught us the value of real, nourishing food, from growing our own fruit and vegetables to being aware of what we put into our bodies. I didn't always appreciate it at the time, but those lessons shaped everything that followed.

Becoming a personal trainer felt like second nature. Over the past 20 years I've coached clients in Ireland and Canada, run group training programmes, lectured in fitness education and managed busy health and fitness facilities. Early on I realised that training alone wasn't enough. Nutrition was the missing piece for most people: not just what to eat, but what their bodies were actually lacking.

That curiosity led to years of learning. I completed my Diploma in Nutritional Therapy from IINH in 2010 and have worked directly with clients ever since, which is where the real learning happens. In 2026 I built on that by completing my degree in Nutritional Therapy at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition (ION), bringing together everything I'd learned in practice with a deeper grounding in the science. I also hold a diploma in holistic nutrition from CSNN and a Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification.

I spent five years working in a health food shop, advising people every day on supplements, health concerns and how to find their way through the overwhelming world of nutrition products. Thousands of one-to-one conversations about real health problems taught me more than any textbook could.

I believe that when you combine nourishing food, intentional movement and supportive daily habits, you give yourself the best chance of long-term health and energy. Everything I do now, from one-to-one coaching for women to independent supplement advice, comes from that: cutting through the noise to find what actually makes a difference for you.
