Hello. My name is Niamh and I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist. My aim is simple. To help you feel like the best version of you in both mind and body.

This time exactly one year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was 41 and had no family history. It came completely out of the blue and at a time in my life where I was feeling really healthy and strong. But that’s how it goes. 1 in 7 women in the UK will get breast cancer, so why not me? So this past year has been spent doing chemo, having surgery and radiotherapy and I continue on immunotherapy until May next year. Plus hormone therapy for the next 10 years which leads to all kinds of fun menopausal symptoms like hot flushes and poor sleep.
Even though this year hasn’t been the best, I’m left with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. For the amazing friends and family in my life who have been with me through this, for my understanding employer and colleagues, for the incredible doctors and nurses. Exercise and eating well, working with a nutritionist who specialises in cancer, my kids, the dog, walking, music and MAFS have all gotten me through this s**t show.
But the message is, please check your b***s. I found a rough pea (not what I’d call a lump) and it was caught early, which makes all the difference with these things. No one is immune to the clever bastard that is cancer

Oh hi 👋 I’ve been a little quiet on the ole gram as the past few months have been tough. I’ve experienced proper grief for the first time as I lost my dad in June and somehow posting photos of food just felt a little silly. Gosh grief is a weird beast. I can feel totally fine and then get totally floored by a memory while doing the washing up. I don’t know if there is a right way to experience it but for what it’s worth, I thought I’d share some stuff that has been helping me these past months….

Music - I always knew it was powerful but wow it has really given me an outlet for my feelings recently. Tracks I’ve devoured on repeat are Liz by for utter joy and October Sky by for heartbreaking beauty 💔

Walking - every time there was some bad news, walking allowed me to process it. I definitely cried a lot on those walks but I tried my best to use that time away from my kids to really process what was going on rather than fill it with phone calls and podcasts. And I always felt better for it.

Food - well I would say that, but spending time preparing food was therapeutic and knowing that I was looking after myself by eating good food made me feel more grounded. But I also ate a lot of chocolate because I bloody well needed it!

Exercise - as well as walking, I found I had to do exercise that took me out of myself. Shout out to for their amazing workouts that have made me so much stronger physically and mentally. Plus hot yoga and running got me sweating and forgetting (temporarily!).

Talking - I’ve found it so helpful to talk about dad and the last few months of his life. People probably regret asking me as I find myself rabbiting on - I relive it all each time but I find it healing to talk about him. I’m so lucky that my husband and kids are happy to indulge me but I’ll happily chew anyone’s ear off.

I’m fortunate to be away at the mo and all those cliched things like sunsets, swimming in the sea and running by the beach have reminded me of the cycle of life, how everything continues regardless and that we are surrounded by beauty. So here’s some holiday spam 👉 and now I can go back to posting pics of salad 🥗

A big happy birthday 🥳 to this one. We had a weekend away without the kids (and dog) and couldn’t have done it without a military operation involving amazing friends .lawton, in laws and even strangers (who helped with the dog, not kids 🤣).

Two days away felt like a whole month and was just so needed after the last year. We ate incredible food, drank too much and swam and sunbathed - utter bliss ❤️ 🌞

Simple and delicious - grilled tuna on a bed of butter beans, rocket and watercress ❤️🥗

I also chucked in some red onion, roasted almonds and orange. Dressing was really easy - olive oil, red wine vinegar and honey - and it was so tasty! Even the kids were all over this one. You can pretty much throw in any veg you want and by putting it on a platter, it immediately looks way more tasty!!

Lunch inspo 👀

Left over salad with roasted cauliflower - stick a few eggs in it, a good helping of kimchi, avo and seeds and you have a nutritious and delicious lunch that should keep you full until dinner.

Keeping a jar of seeds handy is a great way to pimp up a meal - they can pretty much be sprinkled onto anything. I like a mixture of sunflower, pumpkin and linseed. These seeds are high in nutrients, antioxidants and good fat and fibre - definitely an easy win to add to your meals 💪

Roasted butternut squash, raw mushroom, edamame, cranberry and goats cheese salad 🥗

You can basically throw in any veg to this one, I roasted the squash in olive oil and cumin seeds and it was all held together with a olive oil / honey / red wine vinegar dressing ❤️

This was quick to make and really nutritious - and pretty darn tasty too

An Israeli inspired dinner tonight - roasted aubergine, Israeli salad, egg and tahini 😋

This was so tasty and really easy to pull together. I made a quick dressing of olive oil, soy sauce and honey and after scoring the aubergine I brushed a generous amount across the flesh of the aubergines. Then roasted them for about 35 mins until nice and golden.

The key to the salad is plenty of parsley plus tomatoes, cucumber and onion. A dollop of tahini pulls the whole thing together! This dish is full or protein, fibre, antioxidants, good fat and lots of beneficial nutrients. A perfect mid week dinner 🥗 🍆 🥚 ❤️

Salad experiment today and it was completely delicious! Roasted broccoli, blueberries, goats cheese and toasted almonds - all on a bed of rocket and watercress 😋

Blueberries in a salad might seem mad but trust me, the burst of sweetness with the goats cheese and broccoli is amazing! This was so easy to whip up and can be enjoyed as a main or as a side. Yum!

Totally delicious fennel, blood orange and butter bean salad ❤️

This was easy peasy to throw together and the only bit of cooking required was a quick sauté of the fennel. I threw in some pecans, chives and cranberries and used a simple dressing of olive oil and red wine vinegar.

This would be lovely as a side with fish or chicken or enjoy as the main event. This salad is full of vitamin C, antioxidants, protein and good fat - and is completely scrummy

Roasted aubergine, spelt and mushroom salad with char grilled pak choi 🥬

After a rough day, this simple but warming and nourishing meal was exactly what I needed. So quick and easy to make, tasty and really nutritious

Wild rice, roasted butternut squash and pomegranate salad 👌

This is so delicious and is filling enough on its own or great as a side with fish or chicken. The secret here is the dressing - the juice and zest of a large orange, cinnamon, honey, olive oil and red wine vinegar. Plus throw in a load of toasted almonds, parsley, cranberries and red onion and you have a total winner 🤛❤️
