My name is Ruth McKenna and I am a qualified nutritional therapist and chairperson of the Nutritional Therapists of Ireland (NTOI). I am also a food fiend, a yoga addict and a mountain biking nut. I adore experimenting with new recipes and have been told I have a gift for cutting through the technical jargon where food and health are concerned. I certainly try to sidestep the faddy diets and soulless regimes that abound in today’s media. It doesn't matter where you're at; I love to work with people who for one reason or another are struggling with food.

Nutritional therapy is focused very much on the individual, looking at your personal health history, lifestyle habits and preferences. The advice you will get will be tailored to suit you; your budget, your comfort in the kitchen and your own personal tastes. As the less famous Hippocrates quote says, 'it's far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has' and my focus is to look after the individual.

A consultation will equip you with the advice and support needed to make fundamental changes to your health and wellbeing.  The only side effects are renewed energy and vitality, great mood and skin and improved concentration.  I help people to understand how their bodies work and empower them in making healthy decisions for themselves.    

I am very interested in fertility and work in a wonderful new integrated clinic in south Dublin; Achieve Fertility, where we have brought together a nurse, acupuncturists, a chiropractor, reflexologist, counsellor and hypo-birthing therapist. Together we offer all of the options in helping you to have a healthy pregnancy.

If you have lost the love of food or never had it, but want to find it; if you feel limited and restricted; if you want to reconnect with your body and learn to feed it well, with food you actually like! I can help you to heal yourself from today’s modern dysfunctions, ranging from skin problems like eczema to auto-immune diseases such as arthritis, allergies, hormonal imbalances, stress, fatigue, digestive problems and weight loss.

If you would like to discuss your own wellbeing, why not consider a one-on-one consultation. Call Ruth on 087-7526546 or email ruth I at I ruthmckenna.com to find out more. A variety of consultation options are available. I work from a beautiful, quiet, private clinic in Sandymount, Dublin.
