Meet Alex (B.Sc Hons, Dip NT)

Nutritional Therapist

A Bit About Me

I was born in Germany, and spent much of my childhood outdoors exploring the world around me. When I wasn't outside, I was often found in my mum’s larder - even at that age I had a 'thing' about all the lovely foods and exciting smells.

I now have a Nutritional Therapy clinic in Greystones and online, and my husband and I run a farm in South Wicklow where we offer farm holidays and residential retreats showing people where their food comes from, how it grows and how to cook it for best health.

​

​

My children turned out to have a range of food intolerances, which led me towards Nutritional Therapy, completing an Advanced Diploma with the Irish Institute of Nutrition and Health (I.I.N.H)

​

​

After school I traveled, working for a while on an organic farm in Western Canada. I went on to study at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester, UK and was awarded a First Class (Hons) in Organic Farming (BSc). I wrote my dissertation (in partnership with Superquinn) on using locally produced foods as a positive marketing message to future proof supermarkets. This was 20 years ago when we were a long way away from putting farmers on supermarket ads and promoting local companies. After graduating, I worked with Naturalife Health until I started my family. 

My work is all about combining cutting-edge food science, experience and a good deal of common sense to tailor dietary advice specific to each client's needs and to help each client to adopt this advice long-term. 

You can book either a single consultation, or where appropriate a plan (reduced rate). If you book a single consultation and decide later that the plan is for you, you can change to a plan at that point.
