Maureen is a Senior Dietitian with over 20 years of clinical experience across the UK and Australia. She has worked extensively within public health systems, including a specialist eating disorder service in London, where she provided dietetic treatment and support across inpatient, day patient, and outpatient programs.
Maureen established her private practice, specialising in supporting adults and young people experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, and difficulties in their relationship with food and body. She is passionate about guiding individuals through recovery and empowering them to build a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with food and their body, grounded in a Health at Every Size® and non-diet approach.
Upon returning to Australia, Maureen joined the NSW Statewide Eating Disorders Team at the InsideOut Institute. In this role, she contributes to the implementation of the NSW Service Plan for People with Eating Disorders, supports the development of clinical guidelines, delivers professional training, and provide support to healthcare professionals across the state.
Maureen has a particular interest in improving care for individuals with eating disorders and co-occurring conditions, as well as working to reduce weight stigma within the healthcare system.
The NSW Service Plan sets out a major five‑year effort to strengthen eating‑disorder care across the health system, improving access, quality, and outcomes through better services, pathways, and workforce capability. This research evaluates how well service plan training boosts knowledge and confidence so programs can keep improving and inform government and sector-wide planning.
This study develops and validates a perinatal-adapted screening tool (IOI-SP) through lived-experience co-design to accurately identify eating disorder symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum, addressing a critical gap in routine detection.
