About me
I’m Maeve, a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist and the Founder of the Dietetically Speaking Clinic.
Myself and my team of Specialist Dietitians support our clients to improve their relationship with food, feel better in their body, and manage a wide range of nutrition concerns. I also provide talks, workshops, and workplace wellness support for businesses.
We use realistic, psychologically informed, evidence-based strategies, always offering a safe, non-judgemental space. We believe every eating difficulty is valid and worthy of support.
We can support you with:
- Eating disorders: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, OSFED.
- Disordered eating: Emotional eating, binge eating, food freedom and Intuitive Eating.
- A variety of nutritional issues through a food freedom lens e.g. IBS, PCOS, high cholesterol, vegan and vegetarian diets, sports nutrition, fertility.
Our approach is compassionate, person-centred, weight-inclusive, and rooted in evidence. You are the expert of your own life we’re here to walk alongside you, guiding and empowering you on your journey.
If you’d like to explore whether we’re the right fit for you, we offer a free, no-pressure 15-minute discovery call. We would love to chat with you.
Please note: All sessions are currently conducted online via video call rather than in-person.
