Step by step road to wellness health your future

There’s so much conflicting health advice out there—it’s no wonder so many of us feel confused, overwhelmed, and stuck. But what if getting healthier didn’t have to be so complicated?

 That’s where The Slowdown comes in.

I help you cut through the noise, create a plan that actually fits your life, and most importantly, help you implement lasting changes—without stress, guilt, or deprivation.

who even am i?

Hi I’m Dee. I grew up in a family where food was cooked from scratch every day. Many of us did. Food was simple, choices were limited – eating was uncomplicated! Unfortunately the modern food landscape is anything but simple for a lot of people.

Juggling busy schedules, navigating constant temptations and being bombarded by endless ‘health’ information, many people are feeling more confused than ever, and sadly, less well than ever.

my bio & mission statement

my approach

As a certified Nutrition & Health Coach I am perfectly placed to work with you towards your unique health goals.

  • Health isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about creating habits that stick.
  • I believe in abundance, not deprivation.
  • Every person is different—together, we’ll find a plan that works for you.
  • It’s ok to SLOW DOWN and find what that is.
  • This is your journey, but you don’t have to do it alone.

How I can help

If you are feeling overwhelmed or frustrated about eating delicious healthy food every day then there are lots of ways that I can help you…

Take a look through the ideas below and if anything resonates please get in touch for a no obilgation call to chat through the options.

I’m passionate about helping people to feel the absolute best they can through healthy food and lifestyle tweaks and I know how much power you have – so let me help you unlock that!

My practical services cut straight to the root of the issue.

Over a half day session we will work together to uncover the basics of your health needs and foods preferences: What do you like to eat / What is currently in your cupboards / What should you buy when you go shopping / Where do you do your food shopping / How do you then turn those ingredients into delicious well balanced healthy meals for you and your family.

I offer a 1:1 service where I meet with you a do a deep dive into your current eating habits and your sticking points. What are you frustrated about – what would your perfect food situation be? Do you like to meal prep or do you prefer to cook daily? Do you have any food dislikes or dietary restrictions? We then do a full review of your current kitchen cupboards / fridge / freezer / spice rack etc to see what you actually already have to work with.

From here I will help you devise a weekly plan and help you fall in love with cooking and eating again. I’ll follow up with recipes you’ll actually love and that will love you back, along with a full shopping list so you can hit the ground running!

By putting some laser focus onto your food choices, and getting some bespoke professional help you are in a much better position to feed yourself well and improve your current and future health. 

Get in touch for a no obligation chat to see what great work we can do together!

If you know exactly what you should be doing but for some reason you aren’t doing it then 1:1 Nutrition Coaching could be incredibly beneficial to you.

In each session I will work with you to uncover the obstacles getting in the way of your desired healthy habits. Together we will brainstorm routes forward that will work specifically for you – your preferences, your available time, your lifestyle. Not an AI generated one-size-fits-all-solution.

We will then co-create a plan to get you on a path towards a healthier happier you. You will leave each session feeling empowered and enthusiastic about taking charge of your health. Working with a Coach helps keep you motivated and focused on your goals.

It is the small things we do consistently that build into longterm habits which improve our health, vitality & longevity. As your Nutrition & Health Coach I will guide you along the path – helping you embed small changes one by one. 

Get in touch for a no-obligation chat or email me so we can unlock your healthy potential!

If you feel less than confident in the kitchen please look no further!

From my home kitchen in Dublin City, or live via Zoom, I will show you just how easy it can be to create delicious, healthy meals for you and your family.

Once you have a few basic skills up your sleeve you’ll find a new enthusiasm for home cooking.

Cooking from scratch is the healthiest and most affordable way to eat. It puts the power back into your hands and ensures you know exactly what goes into your mouth! 

Get in touch for a no-obligation chat or email me so we can discuss your requirements further.

I can teach you meals from different cuisines – Mediterranean , Eastern Mediterranean, Indian, Mexican etc. or for different diets such as Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian, Omnivore etc. – or indeed to help specific issues such as Type 2 Diabetes, High Cholesterol, Hormone Balancing Meals (perimenopause / menopause / male menopause) – there’s a huge & very exciting world at your fingertips!

If you love delicious healthy & well balanced meals but don’t have the time to cook then this is for you.

I offer my clients weekly food services to fill their nutritional gaps with ease. You may need the work week catered for to ensure you have a healthy breakfast and lunch every day, or you may need 5 healthy dinners in the fridge that you can come home to every evening.

I know lots of people are working very hard and while they want to eat well they just don’t have the time to dedicate to it. This service removes the reliance on takeaways of questionable nutritional quality. It can also be a more sustainable choice with just one delivery (or collection each week) and reusable glassware instead of plastic packaging. Also organic & local ingredients will always be used where possible. 

Lets have a chat so I can create some sample tasters for you t try before you buy!

With so many people spending over 40+ hours per week at work, employee wellbeing has become a critical public health issue.

I work with HR and Wellness Teams to help build a useful and practical programme of webinars and workshops to help employees to feel excited and empowered to make better food choices everyday.

By focusing on the foods that help manage consistent energy throughout a work day, or by helping employees build a Desk-Drawer Survival Pack, teams can understand clearly how what they eat effects their mood and their resilience thus creating a healthier happier workplace for all.

testimonials

I had a fantastic experience working with Dee. She was incredibly accommodating, making sure our sessions fit into my busy schedule. Her enthusiasm and passion for nutrition were evident in every interaction, and it was clear that she puts a lot of research into her work. She took the time to address my specific concerns and helped me overcome some bad habits, providing practical, personalised advice that made a real difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for knowledgeable and supportive guidance on their health journey!

I reached out to Dee to help me improve my gut microbiome, add a muscle strengthening element to my diet, and increase my overall confidence when it comes to cooking nutritious meals. Dee was very easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable in her company. We discussed how stress can impact the digestive system and Dee suggested a few stress management tools to incorporate into my daily routine. She is an expert in her field and I have gained so much knowledge from my sessions with her. The emails I received from Dee following each video call, were full of detailed recommendations, recipes and supportive messages. With Dee’s encouragement, I found it much easier to prioritize my nutritional and gut health.

Dee's workshop was amazing. She is the perfect facilitator for a workshop like this. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a wonderful way of communicating that knowledge. She is warm and funny and engaging. Her warmth helped to create a wonderful feeling of camaraderie, where we shared experiences and above all, lots and lots of laughter. As a post menopausal woman, I learned so much from this workshop and particularly enjoyed Dee's amazing cooking and nutrition tips. Her recipes were so simple, affordable, fuss-free and totally delicious. I would highly recommend this workshop to any woman, regardless of her age. I left on Saturday with a full heart, a full belly and a very big smile on my face. Thank you so much Dee!
