Meet Yvonne O Halloran

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Yvonne O Halloran a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Yvonne, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

I always felt different and knew I would create my own unique path in life. My purpose involved helping others and I always knew it would involve health.

My epiphany came when I was an unfulfilled practising dietitian and nutritionist for about 3 years and one day stumbled upon a dietitian in the US who discussed dairy and how unhealthy and unethical it was to consume it. It really resonated with me as I never felt comfortable consuming it myself or recommending it to my clients but at university you are told dairy products are a whole food group you should include!I learned there was an incredible amount of research on the health benefits of a wholefood plant-based diet and meat, dairy and eggs were not only unnecessary, but were in fact detrimental to our health!

This took me down the rabbit hole of researching plant-based diets and animal products, watching documentaries on animal welfare, what the experience might be like for these unfortunate animals who are sent to the slaughterhouse and it shocked me to my core. Something awakened within me and in that moment I went vegan and dedicated every free moment I had to learning, researching and absorbing every bit of evidence relating to plant-based diets. This was the beginning me finding my purpose, but it has evolved through the years to a point where I want to bridge science with spirituality so that I can offer a more holistic approach to fulfilment, happiness and optimal health with my clients.

I am currently working on becoming a holistic coach and have undertaken a course in soul contract readings so that I can guide, inform and help my clients to learn their purpose and how to overcome and work through their individual challenges in life and embrace their gifts. My purpose is to help people make the connection and to remember we are all one, and by doing so, helping people to align their core values with their actions and in doing so, live a life that aligns with all beings, nature their souls higher purpose.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I am Irish but I spent almost 19 years living on the Gold Coast in Australia. I have just returned back to live in my homeland again with my family! My focus, professionally, is to be of service to humanity. I want to help people to evolve, to learn and to take control of their life, both physically and spiritually.

I am a children’s book author and have published 2 books- Plant-Powered Animal Protectors and We Are Love. The goal of my children’s books are to help children connect to their true essence by highlighting important topics including love, veganism, compassion, magic, unity and respect. I am releasing my first non-fiction book about plant-based nutrition aimed at women due for release in early 2025.

I am the founder of Living Vegan, a news and education-based site that helps readers to stay up-to-date on all things vegan across the globe-www.livingvegan.com.

My website www.yvonneohalloran.com is where you can find out more about me and you can book in for a virtual video consultation where I help clients from all over the world!

As I said, I am currently expanding into becoming a holistic coach and have completed soul contract readings level 1 and 2. It’s a form of numerology not based on the traditional form but based off the numerology of Moses and can help individuals understand their challenges, gifts and goals for this lifetime based off their birth certificate name as all sound is creative and each letter gives off a frequency. They can also see where challenges lie in relation to other people in their life. I also help with name optimisation and baby naming! This information is not yet advertised on my site and it’s a working progress but I am available for bookings now!

Outside of my professional career, I am a wife and a mother to three exceptional children aged 9,7 and 5 who I am homeschooling!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Skills would be patience, determination and courage- to not be afraid to carve your own path. I advise people to take a hold of your passions and pursue them, even if it makes you stand out from the crowd. Be that pioneer the world needs!

When I first left university I thought I knew as much as could be known about nutrition but it’s an evolving field and an ever-learning topic. Every day is a day to learn! Be open and absorb as much as you can. Be patient with your clients too, everyone is at a different level and you must meet them wherever they are at with kindness and understanding.

Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?

An ideal client for me is someone who is ready to make positive change and are open-minded. A client who is not ready won’t change or maintain change. Someone who is excited to live their best life and willing to do what it takes to break through those old habits and perhaps someone open to a holistic approach would be my ideal client.
