Rosa Wellbeing offers both personal one-to-one consultations and talks/workshops to various groups, clubs and businesses.

When you book an appointment with Rosa Wellbeing, you will be asked to complete a short medical history, nutritional assessment, and lifestyle questionnaire, and to keep a 3-day food diary (which I will send to you). Ideally, you will return these to me at least 3 days before our consultation.

This will allow me time to study your case and prepare for your consultation, allowing us to make the most of our session. A number of  clinical laboratory tests are also available.

Payment is requested at time of appointment, both cash and cheque payment accepted. Please note a cancellation fee of 50% is applied for missed appointments or cancellation within 24 hours.

When your biochemistry and metabolism are in good working order and your physiology and emotional health are balanced, your body reaches a natural weight. This enables a biomass which is  self-sustaining and incredibly efficient.

It is important to realise that being healthy involves more than simply losing weight. Changing your goal from ‘I want to lose weight’ to ‘I want to become healthy’ enables you to refocus your mind and body. When you are healthy and happy the body reaches its ideal weight naturally.

The goal of the Rosa Weight Plan is to create physical and emotional wellness from the inside out. The end result of the plan is total wellbeing, with weight loss and maintenance as happy side effects.

“One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is very important.”

Stress occurs whenever our activity levels exceed our energy levels, or whenever we perceive a threat to our wellbeing. Stress is the leading cause of illness and it’s believed that an astounding 80% of modern health problems stem from excessive stress levels.

Rosa Wellbeing’s one-to-one and group Stress Less programmes teach you how to reduce and manage the stress in your life through good nutrition and favourable lifestyle and exercise habits. These sessions give you the tools and information to help you attain and maintain optimum health and wellbeing.

Environment: Create a wellbeing lifestyle and learn how to set realistic, achievable goals.

Body: Reduce stress levels through healthy habits and the principles of Nutritional Therapy.

Mind: Understand how attitude and beliefs are fundamental to your wellbeing and learn to control your internal self-talk.

“Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion”

Faulty digestion is directly responsible for a vast array of illnesses from heartburn to constipation to ulcers. Studies show that many widespread illnesses such as arthritis, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, food allergies and sensitivities, migraine headaches and psoriasis are indirectly caused by faulty digestion, more specifically increased intestinal permeability (also known as leaky gut syndrome).

Leaky gut syndrome occurs when the gut wall begins to leak allowing undigested food particles, disease causing bacteria and potentially toxic molecules to enter the bloodstream. This results in the activation of the immune cells which triggers an allergic reaction.

Common causes of leaky gut include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, chemotherapy/radiotherapy, dysbiosis, food allergies, gastro-intestinal disease, infections, inflammatory bowel disease, long-term stress, low fibre diet, nutritional deficiencies, poor digestion and secretory IgA deficiency.

As the digestive system is one of the most regenerative parts of the body, 30 days can make an incredible difference to your digestive health. The Rosa Wellbeing Digestive Wellness programme will guide you through the recommended steps to heal your gut, improve you digestive health and give you healthful habits for the rest of your life. The programme enables you to find ways of eating and living which will suit both your emotional and physical needs.

There are 3 main hormonal phases in a woman’s life, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. As women are meant to be in harmony with their bodies, understanding each of these phases helps you to take control and make clear and informed decisions about your health.

The incidence of infertility, fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic breasts and cervical and breast cancer have all increased steadily and dramatically over the past 60 years. Thankfully, with the right diet and lifestyle advice, you have the power to improve, protect and maintain your hormonal health.

Rosa Wellbeing’s Women’s Health programme will give you the tools to allow you to help yourself by following a series of simple but effective steps. The end goal of the programme is a balanced body and fully restored hormonal health.

“If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.”

Most men’s health problems are on the rise with heart disease now recognised as the single biggest cause of death in Irish men. Over 60% of Irish men are now classified as overweight or obese, resulting in major health concerns. The good news is that most men’s health problems are easily prevented with simple nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, while remaining issues are easily identified and treated.

Due to a larger muscle mass, men generally have a higher energy requirement than their female counterparts. Men’s hormonal needs are also different which means there are certain nutrients for which they have a higher requirement.

Rosa Wellbeing’s Men’s Health programme will identify the elements of your diet and lifestyle or other factors which may be contributing to your ill-health. You will receive an individualised nutrition and lifestyle plan which will include suitable whole foods and specific nutrients. The plan will help you achieve your optimal health, restore energy levels and create a feeling of wellbeing.

“Life engenders life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.”

“The future of sports’ nutrition will dictate that we collectively will have a higher standard of care and education for counselling athletes, whether individually or in groups. The integration of many different disciplines (Physiology, Metabolism, Psychology etc) will become a minimum mandatory set of disciplines for any aspiring sports nutritionist.” International Society of Sports Nutrition

Within the Functional Sports Nutrition (FSN) concept, sportspeople are recognised as individuals, each unique in their requirements and requiring attention to the regulation of body systems such as immunity, digestion, blood sugar balancing and adrenal health. In addition, athletes have added stresses that are unique to their sport. Therefore, it is very important to establish functional health of the athlete before considering performance nutrition.

Eating for health should be the primary focal point for any athlete since a high level of performance cannot be supported without an optimal level of health.

Rosa Wellbeing’s Functional Sports Nutrition (FSN) programme devises tailor-made plans to fit with your unique needs. Plans can include guidance on inflammation and acidity, stress management, adaptogens, balancing antioxidants, detoxing and dietary strategies. This information will enable you to get the right fuel mix for maximum fitness, enabling you to stay healthy and strong.
