Elite Performance Nutrition

Sports nutrition goes far beyond simply healthy eating. As a qualified dietitian with a Diploma in Sports Nutrition, I specialise in helping athletes optimise their training, recovery and performance with practical evidence- based nutritional strategies.

Since 2023, I have had the honor of working as team dietitian with the Kilkenny Senior Hurling team. This followed my previous position as team dietitian with the All Ireland winning U20’s hurling team of 2022. Working alongside these teams has provided first hand experience of the challenges GAA players face maintaining fitness, performance and health throughout hectic club and championship seasons. Collaboratively with the wider backroom team, I work to ensure that each player is treated as an individual with nutrition plans to suit their unique needs and goals.

Alongside my work with athletes, I am also a keen GAA enthusiast and a marathon runner. Marathon training has taught me firsthand the power of adequate and well planned nutrition, especially in the areas of fueling, recovery and injury prevention. This personal experience combined with my clinical training works to ensure that all of my nutritional advice is measured and practical, whilst still maintaining an evidence- based foundation. Over the last 4 years, I have worked with numerous marathon runners, triathletes and Iron Man enthusiasts all working to improve their nutrition strategy and in turn gain that extra 1%.

In today’s world of conflicting advice, my goal is to cut through the noise and provide clear, practical and proven guidance that helps athletes achieve the results they strive for.

Whether you are an athlete chasing a new personal best, a coach wanting to strengthen your team’s edge, or an organization looking for expert advice get in touch and I will be happy to help.
