Hi, I’m Fiona O’Donnell
PERFORMANCE COACH, NUTRITIONIST AND FITNESS SPECIALIST
I started my career in the health service as a clinical physiologist. It was in this role that I discovered the impact that daily health behaviours can have on overall wellbeing.
Over the last 23 years, I have worked with thousands of clients in lots of different areas of health and fitness.
I acquired my personal training qualifications in Dublin while I worked in hospitals stress testing cardiac patients. I continued to develop my interest in fitness by acquiring a qualification in strength and conditioning, Pilates Matwork and TRX. Further training included Athletics Ireland, Triathlon Ireland and Swim Ireland training programmes. I also acquired my open water swim coaching qualification.
In 2010, I began an MSc in Exercise and Nutrition Science in Chester University and followed this with a post graduate diploma in Performance Nutrition. I am currently engaged in a Masters in Applied Psychology (Positive Psychology & Coaching).

Everything hurt in the mornings and I had no energy
Before joining the advance community, energy was low and I was stiff and sore every morning when I woke up. Now I’m running three days a week and I am no longer stiff and sore. I can run around and play with my kids without pain.

I was glued to my desk and had no headspace for myself
Before I joined the programme, I was hunched over a desk and I was absolutely miserable in my body. I had an all or nothing approach to fitness and nutrition. I felt so uncomfortable and sore. Weight loss was never my goal but it ended up being a side effect of the changes I made. My mentality has completely changed and I have completely changed my behaviours around food and movement.

I wanted to get rid of the 'good food/bad food' mentality
I was unhappy with my nutrition and I was really focussed on this idea of good food and bad food. I thought healthier meant more walking, killing myself in the gym and I just didn’t have time for all that. When I look at the changes I’ve made now, I think of you every time I make a leap forward like this. If it wasn’t for you, I’d never have made way for my passion.

I wanted to stop dieting, but I was uncomfortable in my body
I was so fed up of dieting – I would lose weight and would always put it back on. I joined Fiona’s programme with the intention of losing weight one last time…but instead, I have completely changed my perspective on my nutrition. Fiona gives us the building blocks and arms us with the knowledge and it’s up to us how to apply it in a way that suits our lifestyles. It’s liberating to be in control of what works for me.

What is a health coach, how can they help me?
A health coach is a professional who helps individuals develop their physical, mental and emotional health. They work with individuals to identify areas of improvement and create a plan to achieve their goals. Our approach is weight inclusive. We don’t approach health through the lens of diets or restriction.
How do I know if I need a health, fitness and nutrition coach?
Many of the clients I have worked with have spent years focussed on diets, weight loss and restriction. This has contributed to negative self image, and a negative association with different food choices. If you have been on and off diets, or if you’re struggling to achieve performance levels that you feel you should have, it may be worthwhile taking a closer look at your health behaviours.
What should I expect during a coaching session?
During your coaching session, we will assess your current behaviours and compare those to where you would like to be. We will develop a clear and concise plan to help you to achieve your goals and use psychological assessments and tools to better understand your health behaviours. From here, we will help you to discover the path to improved performance that feels like the best option for you.
How long does the coaching process typically take?
This varies for everyone. I have worked with clients for 3 months to achieve goals they never thought possible. Equally, many of the clients I work with have been using our platform for over 3 years. Whatever you decide, we can continue to reassess your needs as we travel along this journey together.
