I support women return to their instincts.

My name is Cliona and I’m here to support your journey towards a healthy, balanced mind-body relationship through soul-led 1:1 nutritional therapy, group services, intuitive eating counselling and in-person and online cacao ceremonies.

I’m passionate about helping women move away from restrictive diets and stressful lifestyles that cause them to believe they are ‘less than’.

Instead, I’m here to guide you towards your natural instincts where you can respect, listen to and love your body. I’m here to help you break free of diet culture bullsh*t, so that you can realise you are already enough, exactly as you are.

I believe that when we learn to listen to our body’s natural wisdom, we are better equipped to make healthy choices more easily. 

Let’s dissolve the noise and return to the Essence of Nutrition, together

Nutrition Services

Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional Therapy involves a personalised deep dive into your health history and current symptoms to find the root cause of your current issues.  Lifestyle and nutritional recommendations are made that are individual to you, your goals and aim to address the root cause; not just treat the symptoms.

Intuitive Eating Counselling

Intuitive Eating Counselling explores your relationship with food and diet culture. We work together, in a compassionate way, to help you reach a place of food freedom where you no longer obsess about what to eat and body image. This involves both nutrition and lifestyle advice.

Not Another Diet Plan

Essence of Nutrition helps you say goodbye to diet-culture and hello to your true self. With my help, I encourage you to break free from diet culture b*llshit and finally find food freedom, a joyful relationship with your body and experience health and happiness from within. Let’s remove the trends and return to your body’s natural wisdom.

Other Offerings

Cacao Ceremonies

If you’re craving a slower pace or simply a moment for yourself, cacao offers a soft, nourishing way in.

These monthly online and in-person ceremonies are a space to breathe, reset, and listen inward—no expectations, no need to have it all figured out. Whether you’re deeply spiritual or just need a bit of calm, you’re welcome as you are (camera optional).

Intuitive Eating Group Programme

This programme covers everything you need to know about the basics of intuitive eating. Because of its intuitive nature, this course is also self-paced so you can discover and enjoy it on your own timeline.

Tailored To You

My services are always comprehensive, thorough and tailored to your specific needs. Our sessions may focus on Nutritional Therapy alone, Intuitive Eating Counselling or a combination of both. There is no need to decide what you need before booking. A free discovery call will ensure that we find you the perfect fit, together.
