Lead Dietitian & Founder HCPC & CORU registered
Maeve has over 12 years of experience as a Dietitian in a range of public and private healthcare settings, including more than 4 years in the NHS.
Since she began Dietetically Speaking and started sharing nutrition messages online in 2015 she noticed how unhelpful so many of the messages about nutrition, weight and health are. This leaves many people feeling confused with a very black and white ‘good vs. bad’ mindset. In turn, this can lead to a number of eating difficulties like restriction, food guilt, comforting eating and binging. So this experience, along with her long-standing interest in the psychological side of nutrition, led Maeve to specialise in supporting those who have developed a difficult relationship with food.
