Ailis, thanks for all your support. I feel much better, lighter on my feet and more energy. Making better food choices most of the time too. Thanks again, it’s been a great 8 weeks, lots of change and enjoyed learning new recipes and exercise!

Feeling very proud of myself for making this No.1 to do on my list today, amazing how I just starting this running just over week ago in beach and two people have already commented on how fit I look lost 4lbs alone in one week so I am over the moon. Thanks Ailis Brosnan and everyone for your encouragement it means a lot. I always dreamed of getting out there jogging but hated idea of running on roads and cannot do cause my feet are so bad. I am just trilled to be this far….onwards and upwards.

I found the program so beneficial and Ailis great . She was always available to answer any questions and also to give me the support I needed when I needed it. I have changed my eating habits and have gone from being an emotional eater to a very mindful eater. Listening to the audios has kept me focused and helped to keep me feeling positive throughout the 8 weeks. I loved being part of the Facebook group and never felt that I was going it alone. The exercise builds up over the weeks so was not too daunting for a beginner like me The recipes are tasty and I found them quick and easy to prepare. I now feel so much happier, healthier, confident and have so much more energy Thank you Ailis

We invited Ailís to do an online healthy Food Demo for our students as part of our school’s Wellbeing Awareness programme during the lockdown of 2021. Ailís is a real professional and so easy to work with. From the moment we suggested it, she happily came on board, was generous with her time and worked with us to produce a very happy and healthy event. The recipes she chose to present were simple, straightforward and geared towards her audience. Ailís made everything look so easy! The time flew by and was filled with time saving tips and tricks – who knew you could freeze bananas?? The feedback from the students was really positive. Many thanks Ailís. Frances Moynihan Deputy Principal Millstreet Community School

“We wanted to develop a Workplace Wellness Policy and Programme of Events that was real, practical, inclusive and would encourage genuine interest and participation. Ailis supported us to bring our ideas to life and ensured our objectives were achieved, within agreed timeframes, through her project management skills. Ailis had some key ideas which ensured it’s success such as they Wellness Team, staff survey and website. Without Ailis’ support and leadership we most likely would have stalled at the inception/ideas stage! We definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her on our next project.” Frances Clifford, Development Manager, South Munster Citizens Information Service.

“Congratulations Ailis. Loved the program as it’s such a healthy way to eat and live. Will definitely recommend it to friends in future and it will be easy to do that now as I have experienced the transformation! Thank you. xx”

“This programme has literally changed my life. I’ve lost eleven pounds.. and I am not going to stop until I reach my target. I am so much healthier and fitter… I am so grateful to you Ailis!! I will definitely recommend this programme far and wide : ) “

I am constantly astonished at this new situation and new me. I find myself smiling as I walk along and ponder it all. A year ago, when I emailed you first I was barely able to walk at all with the injury in my feet, had put on weight and was feeling very negative about my body and myself and a hundred other negative knock-ons. Now, in the last stretch of my PhD and one of the most intense times of my life, I am the fittest I have ever been, and feeling well, stable, grounded, fierce and  full of potential. I know you would kindly say that so much of this is down to my own work and perseverance and it is, but I can safely say that none of this would have happened without your gentle and tailored motivation and insights. You kindled an interest in my wellbeing and my own potential that had gotten lost along the way, which is now in full flame again. Thank you so so much.

Having met Ailis briefly at a Dublin Vegfest and on reviewing her inspirational career to date, I felt confident in applying for the 8 week HFV program she coordinates. Her genuine attentiveness and generous sharing of a wealth of experience is in abundance throughout, and she carries you through at a comfortable pace and in a superbly structured way. On completion I found I had achieved a solid foundation on which to continue to build a new healthy plant based lifestyle”.

“My purpose in taking this program was two-fold; one to get my blood values better and two, to lose weight and improve my BMI. I needed a program that would give me lots of support to stay on track and this program did just that.  Secondly this program had a holistic approach which appealed to me. Ailis’s program was superb in helping me establish realistic goals (“write a new story”) and for developing good habits around food, it’s preparation and around exercise. She helped me change my focus from losing weight to losing fat and becoming stronger.  And as I began to feel the effects the program began to do itself. I had self motivation to stay with the plan. Ailis was steady in giving us support, encouragement and lots of props – a cheer to us each day of “You can do this.” I hope to use this plan for the rest of my life. “

The program was perfect for me. It motivated me, helped me challenge myself, and set me on a better path. I responded very positively to all that was offered. After the detox my joint pain almost disappeared. And at the end of the eight weeks, I had lost a few more pounds and had become comfortable with a more vigorous exercise routine. I believe the program worked for me because it was an integrated approach. Ailis’ support and expertise put it all together for me. I felt incredibly supported and safely challenged. All I had to do was make the commitment and follow along. The program was well worth the investment I made.

I found the program so beneficial and Ailis great . She was always available to answer any questions and also to give me the support I needed when I needed it. I have changed my eating habits and have gone from being an emotional eater to a very mindful eater. The exercise builds up over the weeks so was not too daunting for a beginner like me. The recipes are tasty and I found them quick and easy to prepare. I now feel so much happier, healthier, confident and have so much more energy. Thank you Ailis

The programme supported my journey by helping me organise a schedule and healthy food menu. Also the exercise routines were easy to follow and the online video tutorials were excellent. My journey through the programme helped me to reach my objectives and I am still appreciating the rewards. Getting my family involved has taught us all to appreciate healthy eating and exercise. The benefits of which will be lifelong.

People I haven’t seen in a while are commenting on how much weight I have lost and how much happier and healthier I look.

Everybody says I look so much better. I feel much happier in my body, I have never felt to good, even when I was 21!

Life became much easier. Suddenly I had more energy, I felt fitter than ever and had more energy for my kids. Ailis was very supportive. I would definitely recommend this program.

The support from Ailis is amazing… I really do recommend this course. It’s been a fantastic experience for me.

Before I started this programme I was desperately unhealthy. Morbidly obese, a smoker and generally didn’t care about myself. What I’ve found is a love and respect for my body. I’ve finally stopped punishing it and started nourishing it. My body has begun to thank me and change in response. This programme has really changed my life for the better. It gave me the tools and the support to care about myself again.

A fantastic weekend of new experiences underpinned by a vegan ethos.

Happy days with fellow ‘Black Sheep Vegans – wonderful experiences – worth repeating…soon!! Marty

Hola! I want to say thank you for this amazing weekend. There is absolutely nothing that I would have done differently maybe have a week instead of two days. I loved the food, the place, the company and I enjoyed every activity. I look forward to the next event you guys organise and I will make sure to bring non-vegans so that they can see how we rock it. Garcias Reyes

Ladies! Thank you so much. I have truly loved every single minute of this weekend. Thank you for your time, generosity, fabulous food and making us all feel welcome. Don’t want to go home Briony X

What an amazing weekend guys – a total success all round. Ye’re awesome for organizing it and keeping it running so smoothly!! I’ll be recommending the weekend to everybody and I’ll do it myself again someday!

A weekend filled with food, laughter and craic. All the activities were well spaced, we were both challenged and got a chance to chill out. Louise, Ailis and Bernard couldn’t be nicer or more welcoming. Thank you for providing a great opportunity to get out of our comfort zones, while feeling very comfortable and safe.  Long may these weekends continue!
