The Empowered Bundle course is life-changing! And I don't say that lightly. The course contains a wealth of video tutorials from practitioners at the top of their game in Nutrition and Psychology, and is jam-packed with evidence-based strategies and tools that gently guide you towards healing your relationship with food. The reflective tools are very accessible and thought-provoking.
A particular highlight for me was having the opportunity to have a 1:1 conversation with Maeve who quickly identified areas I was struggling with and offered practical solutions, e.g. make your own lunch before your children's lunches, so that you don't miss out on eating well at lunchtime. Simple advice, but it has stayed with me and ensured I stay fuelled through busy days, instead of grabbing something on the go!
I was initially reluctant to book into yet another online course that I half-completed or checked out of, but I'm so glad I made the investment, as this is one of the best online courses I have done! It's also a massive plus that I have continued access to the course, and can review the content whenever I need to.
Many thanks to Maeve and her team!
I am going to struggle to put into words how much Maeve has helped to heal my relationship with food but I'll give it a go!
I signed up to the Empowered Eating course and, having had a history with disordered eating, I was unsure as to how I would fare. I needn't have worried because within a few weeks I had started to notice a difference in my relationship with my body and food. Maeve was empathetic, kind and patient with me (even with my podcast-length voice notes) and I really value her input as a healthcare professional. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to get rid of diet culture, heal their relationship with food and improve their body image. If I can do it, so can you! Thank you so much, Maeve, you've had such a massive impact on my life and I'm grateful for everything.
I recently completed the Empowered Programme through Dietetically Speaking.
I have followed Dietetically Speaking on Instagram for a while and saw the programme advertised - I have struggled with diet culture for most of my life. I knew the diets didn’t work but didn’t know how to be happy with myself. I thought it would be a great way to improve my relationship with food and learn about myself. This was also for my young daughter as I didn’t want her experience of food to be a repeat of mine.
I had a great experience, learning about the impact of diet culture, how to look after myself and challenge the views I have about my body. It’s also really helped me with my parenting around how I talk about food, myself and others.
There is still a lot of work to do but having access to the resources means I’m confident in what I can continue the journey.
Maeve showed such kindness and empathy throughout the course, helping me to trust in her and the process. Thank you!
I loved the empower course and have learnt so much! Thank you! Maeve is is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about empowering and guiding others.
I loved the variety of the course - group sessions, grounding work, reflections, reading and presentations to name a few and Maeve is a great coach! I really enjoyed this course and look forward to consolidating all I have learnt over the coming months! Highly recommend!
Recovering from an eating disorder is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do in my life and Maeve’s kind, gentle and knowledgeable guidance proved invaluable throughout. When I started working with Maeve, it is not an exaggeration to say that I was totally enslaved by destructive habits and compulsive thoughts that made enjoying my life basically impossible. It was a miserable pattern of constant exercise, obsessively weighing myself and logging food, and gnawing hunger that made it impossible to concentrate or sleep, or even feel, day in day out. Maeve was sweet and empathetic throughout, always meeting me where I stood and personalising the process so that everything went at my own pace while still progressing. She is as knowledgeable as she is empathetic; she was always able to answer any questions I had about the process and always compassionate when I told her how hard everything was.
Having food freedom is a bit like being able to suddenly see a new colour you didn’t realised existed before; it is only when you achieve it that you realise what you were missing out on. It’s very hard to put in to words how meaningful Maeve’s contribution to my life has been.
Eating disorder recovery is a long process and a part of me thinks I’ll never be done with it; but what I know for certain is that working with Maeve has helped me cement good habits that prevent me from falling back into my destructive past and allow me to have a relationship with food that, for once, finally, after all these years, feels peaceful.
Where do I start?!
Contacting Maeve to help me recover from anorexia and disordered eating was honestly a life changing decision.. recovery felt like such a scary and long battle ahead but Maeve was reassuring and kind through the whole process! She taught me food freedom and how to except my body… two things I never thought would be possible for myself!
She’s super knowledgable, kind, patient and incredibly likeable…everything you need in such difficult times!
I highly recommend Maeve, she helped me change my life around!!
Maeve was so caring and gentle with me through every session. She is so knowledgable and helped me to understand my hungry cues, triggers and my guilt with food and to help cope when I do get those feelings. She’s helped me with my body confidence and each day I love myself and my body more and more. This Christmas was the first Christmas where I haven’t obsessed over food, it was guilt free which felt amazing. Thank you Maeve for your patience I am so thankful for everything! Xx
After a long time struggling alone, my one-to-one sessions with Maeve soon made me realise that my relationship with food didn't have to be difficult forever. When I first spoke to Maeve I felt a huge sense of relief that I could finally talk to someone who understands and can offer feasible solutions. I am so grateful for Maeve's expertise in this hugely complex area which, along with her compassionate approach, made me feel I could trust her and talk open and honestly. The strategies and tools I have gained from our sessions have been invaluable and I genuinely believe that these are going to help me for the rest of my life!
Maeve was the light at the end of a dark tunnel for me. She has such a gentle approach and always without judgement. She made me feel safe talking about things that are difficult to say aloud. Her knowledge is incredible and her way of explaining things just makes sense. She goes at your own pace and doesn't try to rush you or make you do anything that your not ready for or comfortable with. Anyone who has a difficult time with food would benefit hugely from her help. She has helped me greatly through a very difficult time and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
Maeve has helped me through the difficult journey of healing my relationship with food. After a life long habit of dieting in a way or another she has taught me to listen to my body’s needs and to nourish myself. She has supported me in a very knowledgeable and empathetic way, she has helped me to develop healthy strategies to deal with my disordered eating, she has shown me how to meet my needs in a gentle and compassionate way. Thanks to Maeve I have rediscovered the joy of cooking for myself and sharing meals with children as much as the joy (and freedom!) to indulge on soul food without guilt or fear. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone experiencing any worry around food.
Maeve is wonderful. Working with her has helped me to heal the difficult relationship I've long had with food and my body. There's so much conflicting advice about nutrition out there, but with Maeve's expert guidance I've learned to eat in a way that supports my overall health and makes me feel good.
