About
Health 4 U - Our Story
About Me
My name is Sinéad O’Flynn, and I am the founder and director of Health 4 U. I have always had a passion for supporting people to live a balanced and healthy life since starting my career journey as a nurse.
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 an avid writer for various nursing journals and publications, a peer reviewer, and am also on the editorial board for nursing supplements.
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 (and a dog) who teach us every day how to live in the moment!
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.
How does the process work?
