Welcome to Anna Collins Nutrition in South Dublin
I tailor individualised nutrition and lifestyle programmes to help you enhance your digestion, skin or hair. Because I was often ill as a child and a change of diet age 10 made a huge difference to my life, I developed a passion for food as a tool for wellbeing.
I run my nutritrion clinic from the Littlejohn Centre in Dublin 12 (near Kimmage Crossroads), serving Rathfarnham, Terenure, Rathgar and further afield. I work with clients in clinic and also by skype and phone. I also offer home visits locally.
Getting more nutrient-rich foods into your everyday diet can make a world of difference to how well you look and feel. I specialise in designing individualised and easy-to-follow nutritional and lifestyle programmes. Some patients are short of time. For others money is more of an issue. Either way I can tailor a plan to suit your individual needs.
Specialising in digestion, skin and hair
I am constantly amazed at how a few very simple, easy changes can often transform a person’s life.
From gastritis, indigestion or reflux to bloating, IBS, colitis and Crohn’s, the right nutrition for you can make a world of difference to how well you feel. I also design personalised programmes for acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema (dermatitis) and urticaria.
I also help people who want to retain their youthfulness as they age and avoid unnecessary wrinkles or age spots (hyperpigmentation). I also work with men and women experiencing hair loss (including autoimmune hair loss and male pattern baldness) or poor hair condition. Nutritional therapy helps correct nutritional imbalances and supply your body with what it needs for optimum wellness.
There are a variety of reasons for almost any health issue. The most important thing is for us to discover together which factors are likely to be affecting your particular condition. We can then start to address causes and not just symptoms.
For most people, poorly-managed stress plays a part in their health challenge. In consultations I may spend time sharing simple techniques and nutritional strategies to help you get on top of your stress or anxiety.
As a graduate in Nutritional Therapy from the Institute of Optimum Nutrition and the University of Bedfordshire I am registered and accredited by the NTOI, the regulatory body for qualified nutritional therapists in Ireland.
Corporate and Community Wellness
I offer talks, workshops and consultations within the corporate sector as well as giving public talks and lectures within the community. Iarnrod Eireann, Ericsson, AXA, the HSE, OPW and the Phoenix Café are some of the organisations with whom I have successfully worked.
I went to see Anna about acne, which has bothered me since I was 18. For the last 3 weeks I’ve been following most of Anna’s simple recommendations. My skin (and energy) are a LOT better. Lorna Carrollclose
I’m glad I went to see Anna because I was not well at all. ..more info
I had gastritis, bloating and indigestion after meals (and food intolerances). I often had pain in my abdomen. I didn’t know what to eat and I was worried. Anna reassured me in explaining what had happened and why. She retaught me to eat well again. I took some food supplements to help along the way. After 4 weeks I was less stressed and my digestive pain was improved. After another 6 weeks I felt so much better in myself. Stronger too, and with more energy. And my digestion was better. I want to tell everyone to see a nutritionist like Anna. All that I learned and feeling better helped me to stay positive and confident for my future wellbeing. Thanks again for your great help. Josephine, Dublinclose
I started seeing Anna because I had a digestive problems my doctor couldn’t help me with..more info
Uncomfortable bloating, cramping and belching were part of my day. After 16 weeks of Anna guiding me through changes to my eating, all my digestive symptoms have disappeared and stayed away. . Liliana Gasparclose
I finally found Anna after a full year in suffering ..more info
I finally found Anna after a full year in suffering and pain ended with some invasive medical tests performed in order to exclude any serious health issues. What I have learnt from Anna is how to take good care of myself through the unbelievable healing power of food. It’s so simple, yet so unknown to the general public! Anna has no magic wand. She is an extremely knowledgeable and courteous professional who introduced me to this completely new world. I have never felt so energetic, never had such a sharp mind and positive attitude to life before. I could finally throw all the drugs I’ve been on for ages in the bin. I can never thank Anna enough for that. Silvana, 47 yr old, Dublinclose
I was amazed with the results I found with my skin!.more info
Problem: I’d suffered with spots for the past couple of years and seen very little improvements with any of the different creams etc I’d tried to try improve the problem. However, I have seen major improvements about a month after seeing you, (dietary changes and one or two supplements) and at the minute have practically no spots, which is an incredible development. I really appreciate the help and feel a lot more confident and happy with the results, so thank you very much! Isabel Wynneclose
I went to see Anna 2 weeks ago about the psoriasis affecting my whole body…more info
Although we only had one consultation, the initial changes Anna recommended have already made a difference. I feel hugely better and have less pain in my body than before (I have psoriatic arthritis). My skin is less red raw. I feel very encouraged to continue with healthier eating. Patricia, Marino.close
I had my first ever nutritional consultation with Anna Collins a few weeks ago.more info
I would consider my lifestyle to be a very healthy one as I dance for a living, hike, jog and take regular yoga classes. I am also a Pescatarian (I eat fish but no meat) but I found that my energy levels throughout the day would fluctuate and I would often have trouble sleeping….all this has changed since I met Anna, my energy has dramatically changed and my sleep patterns have improved, my skin looks flawless and eyes much whiter and brighter! Jane Shortallclose
I contacted Anna because I wished to improve my overall general health as I was finding myself susceptible to colds and flu…more info
poor respiration, sleeplessness and an overall lack of energy during the winter months in particular. Anna took the time and care to look at all aspects of my life and lifestyle in great detail in order to consider what could be influencing my condition and what she could do to help. Her action plan helped me to hugely improve my diet and reduce my stress levels significantly, this had a huge effect on my sleeping pattern which is now better than it has ever been, and thus the whole quality of my life has improved greatly. I am now also fitter than I have ever been! The best thing about Anna, apart from her endless knowledge of and passion for nutrition and all things associated with it, is how much time and attention she gives you. You get absolute value for your money and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Audrey, Dublinclose
I must say having a consultation was one of the best decisions I made. I had suffered from a bad breakout of acne…more info
I have been a client of Anna Collins for six months, and have to say having a consultation was one of the best decisions I made! I had suffered from a bad breakout of acne and the effects were beginning to affect me more emotionally than the physical pain of my skin being so sensitive. My first consultation was to determine where I was going wrong, and I never looked back. Anna is encouraging, and always on hand with recipe suggestions and advice on helping me with my skin and food choices. Within a couple of weeks of taking the supplements Anna recommended and more importantly taking on board the eating habits, my skin got noticeably better. The skin is still improving, but my general mood and energy levels are much improved.I would 100% recommend Anna Collins Nutritional Therapy to anyone having issues particularly with skin – I will never go back to eating previous to my consultations, and I think the most important thing I have learned from this is that I need to look after myself, and the best place to start is by eating healthily with minor changes to begin with!Thanks Anna for your help, it is much appreciated.C. Balfe, Dublinclose
I suffered for 20 years with chronic IBS…more info
I suffered for 20 years with chronic IBS and impaction for the last 3 years. I visited Anna five times over 5 months and by the 5th visit it was totally resolved. I can’t believe it. I don’t need laxatives and sachets to go anymore. Marie, Dublin 2,close

I can’t believe how much energy I have and my bowels are dramatically improved. I had chronic fatigue syndrome and IBS before I started with Anna.Melissa, Tipperaryclose
I went to Anna to see if I could get any relief from the IBS I put up with for over 50 years…more info
I went to see Anna to see if I could get any relief from the IBS/constipation I put up with for over 50 years. I needed medications every day to try to relieve the constipation, and more often than not the medication became increasingly ineffective over time, which meant I was constantly changing medication. I constantly felt distended and full with low level pain, headache and queasiness. I didn’t sleep well either and woke 4-5 times a night. Over the course of 4 visits in 4 months Anna designed and helped me implement gradually some diet and lifestyle changes. She explained everything and gave the information in a way I could take home and go over easily afterwards. There has been a consistent improvement since November. My bowel is amazing now and I feel it’s the way I want it to be. My sleeping has improved amazingly too. Anna you have changed my life.
My stomach pains and bloating disappeared…more info
Last year, I suffered from stomach pains, bloating and hormonal imbalance and I went to see Anna to seek some help. She put me on a simple dietary and lifestyle changes that were easy to fit into my life. After 12 weeks my symptoms disappeared and today I still follow her helpful guidelines most of the time.She always worked with so much enthusiasm and expertise that I strongly recommand her to you if you need to improve your health.
I consulted Anna to see if anything in my diet/lifestyle was affecting my ulcerative colitis…more info
“I consulted Anna for a painful bowel disorder (ulcerative colitis). She sugested some easy-to-do changes to my diet and lifestyle. Within a month or so I was much better and within 4 months was symptom-free. My gastro-enterologist has just done some new tests and can’t believe my progress”.
After having been to the doctor for abdominal pain and bloating I attended Anna…more info
I initially attended Anna with severe abdominal pain and bloating. This had affected my ability to eat and also my interest in food. Anna explained to me that stress, which had been a big factor in my life for some time, can contribute to these symptoms. With her insight and advice I embarked on a healthy diet enhanced with supplements. After six months I am now feeling very well and I now have the information which Anna shared with me to keep me healthy into the future.
I suffered with ulcerative colitis/Crohn’s disease for 7 years…more info
I attended Anna in October having suffered with ulcerative colitis/Crohn’s disease for 7 years. It disrupted life every single day. Since my second visit in late November I have been a hell of a lot better and it’s now mid-January
Earlier this year I was low in spirit, exhausted, bloated and obviously had health problems. Once in the caring hands of Anna Collins…more info
Earlier this year I was low in spirit, exhausted, bloated and obviously had health problems. Once in the caring hands of Anna Collins I began to relax and improve.
Last Sunday at 74 years of age I attended the Over Fiftys Show for the first time arriving at noon and leaving at 6.30pm still full of vim and vigour.
Your health is your wealth & knowledge is definitely priceless! What we have learned over the past 6 months…more info
Your health is your wealth & knowledge is definitely priceless! What we have learned over the past 6 months will stay with us for years to come. And it is already being handed down to the next generation with my children. What we have changed with ourselves we have followed through the whole house and there is a definite improvment all round. Moods are better. Skin is clearer. Energy is heightened. How food is produced & how it affects us, both mentally and physically – it’s an amazing road of discovery! All we can say is a huge thank you and I know the changes we have made will be of major benefit. ” Darren and Sinead Hanbury, Co. Kildare
