About
Health 4 U - My Story
About Me
My name is Sinéad O’Flynn, and I am the founder and director of Health 4 U. I am a passionate Gut Health Advocate, Registered Nurse & Registered Nutritional Practitioner who specialises in working with busy professionals over 35 supporting them to overcome weight gain, bloating and fatigue to reclaim their energy and positive mindset.
I originally trained as a nurse in Manchester over 20 years ago, then worked in both Ireland and Australia in roles such as Clinical Nurse Specialist, Research Nurse, Nurse Advisor, Clinical Nurse Manger, and Assistant Director of Nursing.
I am also an avid writer for various nursing journals and publications, a peer reviewer, and am also on the editorial board for nursing supplements.
I have had my own very complex health issues which also led into my passions of educating & empowering you to health accountability.
A little bit about myself
Originally from Kildare, I have been living in Cork since 2008, having met my husband on my travels across Australia. We now have 2 beautiful children & 2 dogs who teach us every day how to live in the moment! As a family we are huge advocates for animal welfare & autism, adhd & dyslexia awareness.
I started my career as a nurse over 20 years ago and have worked in Ireland, the UK and Australia in acute hospitals and primary care settings specialising in areas such as Gastrointestinal Disorders, Cardiovascular Risk Reduction, Autoimmune Disorders and Research, and most recently in the area of the microbiome.
My specialty roles in nursing led to my passion with nutrition, however I often felt restricted in being able to truly provide this aspect of care to my patients. Hence I decided to study Naturopathic Nutrition, so that I could combine my current expertise with a more holistic view of the body, enabling me to educate and support people to find the balance that will allow them to live their best life.
