I'm passionate about helping mums and dads who feel stuck in their health work out why and take action to feel better, in a way that fits into their life.

You're a great fit for what I offer if you:
✅Feel tired, stressed out, too heavy and on a roller coaster going from quick fix to quick fix
✅Want to know what nutrition and lifestyle changes will work for you and how to make them stick
✅Feel overwhelmed with the vast amount of information telling us how to “be healthy” and don’t know where to start
✅Want to move away from the strict diets, exercise programmes and Google suggestions that just don't work for you

Let's cut to the chase and map out what'll work for you to eat well, think well and feel well - guidance that’s specific to you and your goals, laid out in a way that's manageable for you, in your life, and helps to overcome the things that get in your way.

Sound like what you want? DM me the word START and we can make a time to talk about what you need to make a real difference to how you feel.

Feeding a family isn’t just about getting food on the table tonight—it’s about figuring out what actually helps to keep everyone healthy, happy and full of energy every day.

That’s why I’m hosting Feeding Futures, a free, no-pressure workshop just for parents like us. I’m Maija: a Nutritional Therapist, Personal Health Coach, and a fellow mum. I get it.

I’ll share three easy steps you can start using right away, so you can feel confident that feeding your crew is setting you all up for success.

Come join me for a relaxed evening where we’ll talk, learn, and walk away with a plan that actually fits into real life. 😊 The workshop is free, but please book your spot as capacity is limited: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/ashford-parent-support-network-presents-feeding-futures-tickets-1249074428239?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

The spooky season is upon us again. I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year.

I love the seasonal shift into Autumn: the colours lighting up the landscape, the crisp air in the mornings, the physical shift I feel in my body towards slowing down. This time of year is my reflection zone as I lean into the gentle feeling that October brings. More helpful now than in January I find.

I don’t love (possibly an unpopular opinion): Halloween….I didn’t grow up with it and baulk at the gross excesses that are now synonymous with this time.

I find the push, push, push to buy and feed our precious littlies a gratuitous amount of absolute junk at Halloween grotesque.

Children carrying bin bags as they swing from door to door to be greeted, for the most part not by friendly neighbours who will admire well-thought out or enthusiastically thrown-together costumes and ask for a bit of a song or a joke in return for ONE sweet treat but instead pre-assembled bags or ‘help yourself’ bowls left at the door!

In the current climate of disastrous chronic health issues driven by metabolic dysfunction being experienced now by increasing numbers of children surely this is outrageous!

I’m not all “bah humbug” about it actually. There is something pretty cool about whole neighbourhoods who decorate their front yards and entrance ways. I definitely love the community spirit and fun spectacle that is created in doing so. If this was more of a time to gather together with your neighbours and create a safe space for the kids to ‘roam the streets’ nearby that would be awesome.

Let's take a less is more approach. Rekindle our focus on community fun and neighbourly connection with a limited availability of the treats (that, let’s face it, many of us love too), so that we and our kids appreciate the true nature of the excitement and wonder that can come at this time of year.

Maybe monkey nuts and apples might be a bit dated (or retro cool?!) but if they weren’t on a sugar high, what would you like to see your kids come home buzzing about after a night out for Halloween?
