Empowering you to break free from dieting and rediscover the joy in eating
Hi there, I’m Áine, I’m an intuitive eating counsellor and wellbeing coach based in the West Midlands. I discovered intuitive eating after many years of yoyo dieting, not trusting my body and trying my best to get my body to a weight and shape that it didn’t want to be.
I went from repeating the same cycle of diets which lead to emotional eating, binge eating episodes, hormonal imbalances, and a constant obsession about my weight, to making peace with food and being completely free from rules and restrictions.
I now truly enjoy food, and exercise because it makes me feel good, not to burn calories. I never choose foods because I ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’, but because I now understand what feels good in my body, and as a result my body settles around it’s natural, set point weight, without me forcing it to be there. Learning and fully accepting that my natural weight was more than my mind wanted it to be, was a big step in my intuitive eating journey.

🤗 Let`s talk food and happiness! ️
What`s that one dish that never fails to put a smile on your face? Is it a decadent dessert, a warm and comforting soup, or a special family recipe passed down through generations? Share it in the comments! 👇
In the video, I`m whipping up my go-to lunch when I have a little extra time: whole wheat toast piled high with scrambled eggs, creamy avocado, and juicy cherry tomatoes. Often followed with some fresh fruit 🍎, a cup of tea, and a piece of chocolate🍫😋!
Let`s celebrate the joy of food and the happiness it brings to our lives 🥰!

As an Intuitive Eating Counsellor, I believe Easter can be a time of joy, connection, and enjoying foods that nourish your body and soul – guilt free 🙌 and here`s how:
✅Tune into your body: Enjoy your favourite chocolates, savouring each bite, checking in and responding to your natural hunger, fullness and satisfaction cues as you nibble away! (This is something I help my clients to do, send me a message if you have any questions about how you can practice connecting, and responding to your innate cues - happy to help🤗)
✅Permission, not restriction: Give yourself permission to enjoy your favourite foods – no forbidden foods here! Restricting often leads to cravings.
✅Focus on connection: Easter celebrates cherished moments with loved ones. Engaging in meaningful conversations, playing games, or going on a hike or bike ride together, are a few great ways to focus on connecting. Food, undoubtedly is a lovely way to bring people together, just remember that it doesn`t need to steal the show 😊.
✅Mindful movement: Take a walk after dinner or participate in an Easter egg hunt – movement can be anything (so no worries if you can`t get to the gym, or if the gym isn`t your thing!) it`s all about feeling good, and finding fun ways to move 🤸!
Remember: Treat yourself with kindness and compassion, just like you would a friend 🥰.
Wishing you a Happy Easter filled with joy, connection, and delicious (guilt-free) moments!
