About Positive Nutrition
Positive Nutrition was founded by Sally Milne and Heather Leeson who have a shared passion for the role of nutrition in good health.
Both are fully qualified nutritional therapists, registered members of BANT and NTOI, and follow a strict code of practice and confidentiality. As well as seeing clients in their clinic in Dublin, they regularly contribute articles and speak on radio on nutrition-related health issues. They also run cookery classes, teach about the role of nutrition in schools and colleges and give corporate talks.
They are working with Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD, the UK’s leading nutritionist for women’s health and fertility and are the only nutritionists trained to provide her hugely successful programmes for fertility, female hormone problems and weight loss in Ireland.
Their philosopy at Positive Nutrition is to guide and support you in improving your own health naturally, using the most up-to-date scientific research to help you make practical changes to your diet and lifestyle.
Sally Milne
BSc (Hons) Physiology, Dip Nutritional Therapy, mNTOI, mBANT
Sally is an experienced nutritional therapist, also working as a part-time lecturer in diet, nutrition & health sciences, and as a clinical supervisor in student training clinics for the Irish Institute of Nutrition & Health (IINH) and for the Institute of Health Sciences (IHS).
Sally graduated from University College, London with a BSc (Hons) in Physiology and settled in Dublin over 10 years ago. Having travelled widely, Sally has always been interested in trying new foods and continues to seek new tastes and cooking ideas. But it was personal experience of the life-transforming benefits of making healthy dietary choices that led her to a change of career.
She chose to study nutritional therapy as she believed this training gave a greater emphasis on empowering indivduals to make beneficial changes to their own diet and lifestyle, to achieve optimum health.
Her interests include keeping up to date with nutrition research through attending regular lectures in Ireland and abroad. And she enjoys both attending and giving cookery classes, with the emphasis on practical advice for making informed food choices.
Sally’s particular areas of expertise include balancing women’s hormones, fertility and children’s health.
Heather Leeson
BA Hons, Dip Nutritional Therapy, mNTOI, mBANT
Heather graduated from Dublin City University in 1994 and has previously worked in a variety of roles in the food industry throughout Europe and in Ireland. Her experience made her aware of the detrimental health effects of a diet largely based on the processed food available today, and taught her the importance of understanding what is in our food and how it is made. Having personally experienced the health benefits of improved nutrition, Heather went back to college to study nutritional therapy and has been working as a nutritionist ever since.
Through her personal experience of fertility problems, she developed a strong interest in the role of nutrition for improving fertility and is passionate about helping couples to optimise their fertility and realise their dreams of having a family.
Now a busy mum of three young children, she understands the importance of making manageable changes and also how healthy food must be tasty, easy and quick to prepare.
