Wholesome food needs to be tasty and enjoyable if we want healthy eating habits to stick. Any useful nutrition course should teach practical knowledge and skills for preparing wholesome foods and meals. To serve this vital need we established our own dedicated cooking school and purpose-built ‘Taste Health’ demonstration kitchen.
Maggie Lynch, our Director of Cooking, will host two live online cooking classes via Zoom from the IINH Taste Health kitchen as part of our Nutrition & Health Coaching Diploma. Students attending these classes can get their cooking and food related questions answered by Maggie. Everyone will receive a comprehensive pack of delicious wholefood recipes, along with other practical information on healing foods, ingredients and better brands, etc.
We also host two attendance cooking classes during the course at an additional cost of €50 for those who wish to experience our Taste Health Kitchen in-person. Maggie and her team demonstrate a dozen or more delicious dishes from scratch, providing a wonderful buffet spread at the end. Students also receive a pack including recipes, tips on products, time-saving, storing and cooking, plus other practical materials for their own use and to offer future clients.
Self-Compassion Training for Healthcare Communities (SCHC) is a 6-week, evidence-based, adaptation of the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) programme. MSC is the empirically supported program of Dr. Kristin Neff (UT Austin) and Dr. Chris Germer (Harvard Medical School).
This abbreviated MSC training programme was specifically designed for healthcare professionals and is very relevant to all Caregivers. It is therefore something we are delighted to offer to our Nutrition and Health Coaches as part of their studies.
This training aims to improve wellbeing and personal resilience in professionals in the caring professions. It aims to do this by teaching mindful self-compassion skills to deal with distressing emotional situations as they occur at work and at home. Here at IINH we teach the programme in 6 x 90-minute weekly sessions as part of the Nutrition and Health Coaching course.
Burgeoning research is showing that self-compassion skills can be of particular benefit to people in caregiving professions, allowing them to experience greater satisfaction in their caregiving roles, less stress, and more emotional resilience.
In research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, Neff.Knox.2020, the SCHC program was found to significantly:
As opposed to other self-care techniques, self-compassion practices can be used on the spot at work with clients or colleagues or at home. These skills, although requiring an intentional daily effort to integrate, do not require extra time or formal meditation practice.
Participants of the programme will learn skills and tools to use throughout the day to:
We have included this abbreviated version of the MSC programme in the Coaching programme to give our students the opportunity to learn some of these vital skills.
This programme will be facilitated by Julia Sweetman, Certified MSC teacher, Nutritional Therapist and Programme Director for our Nutritional Therapy course.

The assessment is based on a variety of mainly practical assignments and case studies. There is no written exam.
