Client Testimonials

Rachel
It’s hard to describe how substantially Aoife has helped me; it is not an exaggeration to say that she has completely changed my life. Her attention to care and detail are second to none. She makes you feel heard, which is unlike nearly every other doctor or healthcare professional I have seen before. I truly can’t thank her enough.
Triona
Aoife was amazing with her advice. Learned a lot from my appointment. Very easy to chat to and has excellent knowledge of the area I was attending for. Thanks Aoife.
Natalie
The program was excellent, way above and beyond what I expected and I found it really helpful! I really found it helpful that you were really supportive, encouraging and helped me find ways of including a variety of food in the diet to not make it feel too restrictive.
Niamh
Aoife's consultations are very information and loved the easy ways of contacting her even for quick questions. Within my first week working with Aoife my bloating was completely gone and the other usual symptoms of IBS were way better. I have worked with Aoife for 4 months and the results have been life changing for me.
Peter
Aoife is very accommodating with friendly interaction. Great service and no hesitation in recommending. Thoroughly professional at every level.

I attended a talk by Aoife. I found Aoife to be very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed the presentation, it was very interesting and I learned a lot from it. Thank you Aoife.
Richard
Please let Aoife know I really enjoyed the seminar. 10/10. It was very well presented and very informative.
Roisin
As regards feedback and Aoife’s presentation, I really enjoyed the session, a lot of practical, good advice was available, and I’ve already started implementing it into my diet. I think it was very valuable. If there is a second session, with further advice, I would definitely attend.
Eileen
I found the Nutrition & Health talk provided to be very interesting, descriptive and practical, without being too over-complicated to follow. Some great tips in relation to breaking certain food habits and around key advice for food intake on such things as fibrous foods and foods containing a high amount of omega 3 fatty acids.
Isobel
I really enjoyed Aoife’s talk and thought it was perfectly pitched. It was very interesting and I was captivated for the whole talk. I would love if she can do another one at some stage.
