Cushla was amazing to work with. She taught me so many things from fuelling my body before, during and after training to full race nutrition.
I ran my first ever ultra (Valley Ultra) whilst working with Cushla and her race plan/education absolutely got me through. Cushla is very thorough and fine tunes every detail to ensure you can get the best out of your nutrition and performance.
Cushla also worked alongside me to educate a group of students at an all-girls school who were taking part in an enrichment programme. She taught them nutrition for their growing bodies, nutrition for healthy menstrual cycles and how to fuel. Cushla has made a huge difference in my training and racing and is also such a kind human!!

Cushla was legendary in helping me with the nutrition side of my professional cycling. I struggled a bit with balancing my diet, recovery, and fuelling on the bike. When training up to 6 hours a day it's so important to eat plenty and make sure it is food/energy drink that will get me through the training session and help with recovery! Cushla has been game-changing for me personally!

Cushla played such an influential part of working out my nutrition going from marathon to ultramarathon. Having a written nutrition plan was a game changer for me, drastically improving my race day nutrition and in turn elevating my performances to actually hit my potential.

Cushla helped me in my buildup to the Vienna Marathon, and was incredible throughout the process. Super responsive, and great guidance. I have no doubt she was a massive factor behind my success in this race, and I look forward to working with her again in the future. 10/10, would recommend!

Cushla provided nutrition advice and a nutrition plan for me for Coast to Coast, Longest Day 2025.
I found her incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, easy to talk to and critically for Coast to Coast - she knows the event really well, which was crucial for me when seeking event-specific advice like this.

Cushla has hands down been one of my two best investments as an athlete. First I got a running coach, so I had structure and accountability. Then, I linked up with Cushla so I could execute the running equation flawlessly. I would not be where I am without her
