Nutritionists and Dietitians near Shirley, MA

Currently accepting new clients! Are you ready to ditch the diet, learn how to fuel your body and realign your gut? Do you want to optimize your health and wellness? Our gastrointestinal tract houses the majority of our immune system. The foods we eat can directly affect our immune system causing inflammation and digestive issues. Maureen specializes in the area of gastroenterology and works closely with those with various digestive issues and food sensitivities.

Welcome to Nutrition Counseling of New England! Where I have the honor of working with individual clients, families, and worksites. I help individuals who are looking to quit dieting for good and instead heal their relationship with food. My clients learn how to healthfully prepare their favorite foods and enjoy them fully! I became a dietitian in 2013 because of a strong interest and passion for food. That passion for food started in my teens and ultimately fueled my decision to go to culinary school. Johnson & Wales class of ‘12 here!

Now accepting insurance! As a Functional Medicine Dietitian, I specialize in helping individuals find relief from gut-related issues like bloating, acid reflux, IBS, SIBO, and IBD. I use a personalized approach that focuses on adding nourishing foods to the diet, rather than restricting foods. Through this approach, I encourage a healthier relationship with food while still addressing your health goals.

Are you DONE with feeling tired and inflamed? Do you eat relatively healthy but something is not working for you, and you can't figure it out? Using a holistic and functional nutrition approach, I help people to reverse and heal their gut issues naturally (using food and herbal medicine) so you may enjoy a more vibrant, empowered life!

Nutrition is more than the essential nutrients required for life, it is a way of living in balance of the body and soul. Together we navigate your specific journey to optimal health. I use functional nutrition medicine counseling and diagnostic testing if needed to get to the root cause of underlying health issues. My goal for you is to learn to incorporate foods that speak to your body and your lifestyle allowing you to live your best life.

Do you feel like you’ve tried “everything” but you still aren’t losing weight? Do you struggle with constipation, acne, bloating, or other hormonal or digestive symptoms but your doctor tells you all of your lab results “look normal”? Do you feel like there’s SO much mixed information online that you have no clue what to eat to be healthy? OR are you looking to support your child struggling with GI symptoms, picky eating, ASD, ADHD or behavioral issues on a more holistic level? I've got you! As a non-diet, functional medicine dietitian, my focus is on finding the root cause of symptoms and supporting the body from the inside out.

My primary goal: help you love food. I grew up in a household where food was fun, varied, and adventurous. My Mother was a home economics teacher turned preschool teacher. She taught me how to prepare food in fun ways and to be an adventurous eating. We learned to love food because it was good for our bodies AND because it tasted delicious!

I inspire women in the second half of life concerned about looming medical issues to use tools from science and wisdom (yoga ex) to become skillful at their well-integrated life. My primary focus is helping people shift their lifestyle choices to address nutrition-related health conditions. I have a personal weight-neutral approach, so I focus on your biomarkers of health (like blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids and inflammatory choices) rather than the number on the scale (weight is a lagging indicator - tends to correct once you're in-balance). My practice consists of individual programs & premium group offerings.

Areas of specialty include weight management, avoiding or lowering medications for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol as well as food sensitivities and sports nutrition. I focus on individual's specific nutritional needs from healthy cooking ideas to supporting extreme fitness endeavors. You will receive recommendations for diet and lifestyle changes to meet your personalized needs and goals. Clients keep a detailed food intake and exercise record using a free online log. By supporting gradual changes over time, the priority is to instill a greater balance in clients thereby creating a more permanent transformation to achieve weight, medical and lifestyle goals.
