Welcome to my world of nutrition and well-being! I'm Marilla Healy, a certified nutritionist and Oncology Nurse.
Specialist nutritional support during and after cancer treatment.
Led by an Oncology Nurse and Nutritional Therapist with over 20 years’ experience in cancer care.
A cancer diagnosis often brings many questions – including how best to nourish and support your body during treatment and recovery.
I provide personalised, evidence-informed nutritional support for individuals preparing for treatment, undergoing therapy and rebuilding strength and resilience after treatment.
About Me
The Oncology Nurse & Nutritional Therapist
I am an Oncology Nurse and Nutritional Therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through cancer treatment, recovery and long-term survivorship.
My work bridges clinical oncology and personalised nutritional therapy, allowing me to support individuals safely and confidently before, during and after treatment.
For almost two decades, I worked in a busy chemotherapy day unit, caring for patients undergoing active cancer treatment. During this time, I witnessed first-hand the physical challenges, emotional impact and uncertainty that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.
I continue to work within oncology today as part of a national cancer surveillance programme, supporting patients through structured monitoring and long-term follow-up care.
Throughout my nursing career, one thing has remained clear:
Medical treatment is essential, but many people feel uncertain about how best to support their body alongside it.
This is where evidence-informed nutritional therapy can play a valuable supportive role.
My goal is to provide guidance that is safe, realistic and grounded in both clinical experience and nutritional science, helping individuals feel more confident in how they nourish and support their body during a challenging time.
Who I support
I work with individuals who are:
• Preparing for chemotherapy and wanting to optimise their body before treatment
• Currently undergoing treatment and needing practical, safe nutritional support
• Recovering after treatment and rebuilding strength, digestion and energy
• Moving into survivorship and wanting to support long-term health with confidence
My approach is always aligned with medical care and informed by two decades of oncology experience.
I understand treatment protocols.
I understand side effects.
I understand the emotional weight of a diagnosis.
And I understand how important it is to feel that you are actively supporting your body in a safe and informed way.
My Philosophy
There are no miracle foods.
There are no extreme protocols.
And there are no guarantees.
What there is, however, is strong evidence that nutrition, digestive health, metabolic balance and inflammation regulation play important roles in overall resilience and recovery.
My role is to help you:
• Maintain strength during treatment
• Support digestion and nutrient absorption
• Protect muscle mass and energy
• Rebuild after chemotherapy
• Create sustainable foundations for long-term health
All within the context of your oncology care.
If you are navigating treatment or life after cancer and are looking for guidance that is clinically informed, realistic and compassionate, you are in the right place.
