ABOUT ME.

About Me, Saoirse

Hi, I'm Saoirse (Seer-sha), an Associate Registered Nutritionist (NSNZ) with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. I am an Irish lass in lovely New Zealand.

My passion and love for exercise has been with me since I can remember, whereas my passion for nutrition came much later. 🥊🌮

I had some skin in the game from a young age, when I represented Ireland in karate during my early adolescence. ☘️🥋 Though I was younger, it laid the foundations of my understanding of the dedication, grit, and mental strength required to perform as an athlete.

I then developed a passion for studying the complexities of nutrition and the mind after developing a negative relationship with food in my early teens.

This was partly due to my attempt to figure it all out on my own and by consuming information that was neither scientifically supported nor credible.

As a result, I understand how difficult it can be to trust and digest, the health information available. Equally, I understand that the constant contradictory information can be exhausting. I strongly value providing reliable information and support.

Furthermore, my experiences and lessons have heightened my desire to assist others in ensuring they have the opportunity to achieve long-term performance outcomes, and establish tools for life.

I hope I can assist you and others in your environment in making this process easier and removing the unnecessary strain of figuring it out on your own. 

A fuelled journey, is an enjoyable journey!

HI, I’M SAOIRSE!

About Building Balance Nutrition

BBN is on a mission to guide individuals to optimal health and performance, no matter where they are on their journey.

I aim to assist active individuals of all levels, from recreational → competitive, or those wanting to strengthen their mindset and nutritional beliefs.

Having been an under-fueled, uneducated athlete myself, I know what it's like to push through under-fuelled training, receive inconsistent results, go through the waves of yo-yo dieting, and unhelpful thought patterns.

As a result, the core values B.B.N will bring to your journey include education, support, freedom, and a light-hearted nature. To make this health thing a lot more enjoyable! 

I assure you, it only gets better!
