My Journey into Nutrition

I have always been conscious of the importance of obtaining the right balance of nutrients from my diet. For this reason, I was surprised to be told in my early twenties that I had alarmingly high cholesterol levels. I was advised that I would need to take medication for the rest of my life. I had lost my own father to heart disease at a young age and was aware of the danger that high cholesterol poses. However, I was keen to find an alternative to taking medication.

I decided to allow myself six weeks to see if I could lower my cholesterol through nutrition. I researched extensively and developed my own personalised nutrition programme. After six weeks I was retested and my cholesterol had been dramatically lowered.

This experience taught me two things. Firstly, genetics are only part of the equation. Your health depends on the complex interaction between your genes and your environment, that is to say your diet and lifestyle. Secondly, because we are all genetically individual with different environmental influences, there is no "one size fits all" healthy diet. My passion for nutrition grew from there and led me to study Nutritional Therapy at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, in London, where I graduated with a distinction.

My Approach
Having spent eleven years in the corporate world, I understand the time challenges people face when trying to implement changes in their diet. My approach, as a nutritionist, is practical and supportive. I ensure that my programmes fit with my clients' budgets, dietary preferences and lifestyles. I provide practical tips such as shopping lists, recipes and sample meal plans, to help my clients incorporate recommendations into their lives. I also encourage my clients to get in contact in between consultations should they have questions or concerns.

Client Feedback
"Caroline is the consummate professional: she is warm, attentive and empathic and yet also very knowledgeable and efficient. She really listened to my concerns and took all aspects of my health into account before tailoring a nutritional programme to suit my needs. I was impressed by her attention to detail and the evident care she took in following up and being available to answer any queries. I would highly recommend her."

— Rachael, 34, London

"Working with Caroline is a real pleasure. Her advice is very thoughtful; simple and enjoyable to adopt. Her passion for nutrition is clearly evident and her knowledge on a wide range of subjects helps her bring suggestions for changes to behaviour and diet. And best of all, the fact that she seems to read more research papers than my GP and my BUPA consultant combined after I mentioned issues I am having, gives me great comfort and confidence in her recommendations."

— Tom, 42, London

"I cannot thank Caroline enough and am so happy I contacted her. She has given me confidence and has always been so approachable, professional and helpful. Most of all, I believe my daughter has been offered such a good start in life which is of upmost importance to me and my family. A big thank-you from my daughter and myself!"

— Lucy, 31, Dublin

"Caroline looked very carefully at my diet and helped me to make some very valuable, easy changes, and to add important nutrients that gave me the strength to get through. I found her approach down to earth, respectful, and professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend her."

— Susan, 56, Dublin

"I attended Caroline's clinic in January this year. I found Caroline's help and expertise to be very beneficial. She provided me with interesting meal plans and options that I had never considered before. I would definitley recommend Caroline to anybody considering help from a nutritionist."

— Paula, 35, Dublin
