Melissa Kirkwood
Performance Nutritionist Savannah Clovers FC
"I'm a performance nutritionist working with young athletes as well as a local soccer team helping them with their wellness and nutrition. The reason I chose the IOPN Community is because I felt alone in my journey as a practitioner. I also wanted the support in really understanding what others are going through with their clients to help give me an insight into what I can do. Sometimes we don’t have a hub or support group that can help us bounce ideas! I’m super excited to be in the IOPN Community."
Stephen Winrow
IOPN Diploma student
"I am really looking forward to having the opportunity to engage with others through the IOPN PDP... I’m also really look forward to building a network of like minded people who I can lean on and learn from... sometimes, its nice to know you're not the only one facing these challenges!”
Stuart Matheson
DipIOPN
"When I heard about the IOPN Community I jumped at the chance. Not only because of the experience I had with the Diploma but also because of the quality and variety of people who would be involved and the insights they could offer me to help improve my knowledge and skillset.”
Leah Headon
Performance Nutritionist & Lifestyle Coach
"I felt like I was in an echo chamber and didn’t feel overly confident and needing a community to bounce ideas with. It’s also really hard to keep up with the knowledge and research. The Community itself will help keep me engaged with this and help inform my practice! I’m really looking forward to meeting other practitioners in the industry and learning more about what they’re doing through the IOPN Community!"
