Unlocking Dietary and Hormonal Balance

Mary Jo will explore diet and hormonal balance.


About Mary-Jo Maguire

I am a Masters qualified Nutritionist, working with clients for over 3 years at an individual level and providing workshops and masterclasses to larger groups. 


I specialise in women’s health and hormone conditions particularly Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). 

I commit to empowering women through compassionate and evidence-based practices and helping them make better food and lifestyle choices to support the natural ebbs and flows of their hormones. 


Women’s hormones fluctuate every day and this gives rise to changes in our mood, energy, libido, appetite and our waist line. 


Learn how to balance your hormones and support the natural cyclical changes through dietary management and nutrition support. 


Harnessing the power of your hormones can help you feel more in harmony with yourself and your body. 


Benefits can include reduced PMS, reduces perimenopausal symptoms, better sex drive, more energy, lose weight more easily, better digestion and a lot more.
