What people are saying

“Saoirse is really amazing at her job. She put so much time and effort in to make my plan truly fit to me. With the phone consultation alone, she helped me recognize why I had certain eating habits and thoughts. I had changed my mindset from then on. She continued to check in with me and was always on hand when I needed her. She is so understanding and knowledgeable, alongside creating some of the best recipes! Would I recommend to a friend?? Yes 100%!!”.

We engaged Saoirse to run a series of wellbeing workshops for our staff focussed on nutrition, fitness and mental health. The sessions were excellent—well-organised, interesting and engaging for our team who got a lot of value out of them. Saoirse has a great expertise and an ability to explain the concepts in practical terms.

— Owen Scott | concentrate Managing Director | workshops

“Saoirse visited the team to discuss nutrition and the effects night shifts might have on eating habits and routines. The entire group found it highly beneficial, and several of the ideas given have already been implemented.

The bundle and presentation that we received were exactly what we needed, and Saoirse's desire to answer our questions demonstrated her knowledge in the subject.

Co-workers have approached me to thank me for scheduling this seminar, stating that they now sleep better and have more energy.

I would strongly recommend Saoirse to anyone who has been wanting dietary advice or simply wants to live a healthy lifestyle”.

— Constable PETTIGRE |Christchurch Police | workshops

When Saoirse began cooking lessons with my teenage son, his diet was fairly restricted, and he hadn’t expanded his food choices for years.  With her empathic approach, Saoirse quickly established a rapport and even on her first visit she successfully encouraged him to try new foods!

Saoirse uses her deep knowledge of the science of Nutrition to explain how food is used by the body and the value of making healthy choices, all at a level he can understand.

He’s become much safer in the kitchen, learnt many cooking skills and, most importantly, he’s had lots and lots of fun!!

Saoirse is positive, calm, well-organised, and full of ideas. She relates to him at his wavelength and has made a real difference.

I couldn’t be happier with the results of her work with our family.”
