As a meditation teacher she understands the power of a mindful approach to living and this led her to create a “Wellbeing in the Skies” series for Ireland’s national airline Aer Lingus. This series looks at gratitude, meditation, anxiety, fear of flying, jetlag, a kids wellness corner and much more.

Her interest in nutrition began having seen the destructive nature and relationship people had to health, wellbeing and food during her time in the fashion industry, where she travelled the world for nearly 20 years as one of the world’s top models.

Towards the end of her modelling career she fully devoted her time to her greatest passion: true health and wellbeing for all.

I loved connecting with Aly. We chatted for hours (both on & off air) & found we had many different similarities on our journey, although on two very different paths.
She shares so much in this conversation about her own path to wellness & living a self-responsible life. She travelled all around the world on her own, from the age of 15 as a model. She suffered from addictions, chronic anxiety & depression but she says she never really cared about herself too much to question anything. There was a ‘pill for every ill’ as medication & ‘outsourcing problems’ was the norm. But things started to change following the birth of her son. She had postpartum depression & when she was given a mix of medications by her doctor, she began to get curious about how they may affect her son. Not getting the answers from her doctor, she began to research for herself & her eyes were opened up.
In this episode she talks about:
- How she was confused as a child & felt indoctrinated with fear
- Running from herself and what that led to
- Her interest in nutrition as she saw the destruction of food related illness in the fashion world
- How the choices she was making, had/have an impact
- Connecting to the peace within & being unaffected by the outside world
- The epidemic of ‘busyness’
- Transmuting victim consciousness
- Metaphysical laws of nature
- Waiting for someone to ‘save or fix’ her
- How to write a vision statement
- Working with the field to bring about your dreams
- The meaning of coherence
- Different levels of consciousness
- A technique to interrupt old patterns & reprogram your mind
- And much more
