About Maja
I am a registered Clinical Dietitian (RD), qualifying in 2011 (University of Surrey Bsc Hons). My focus has been within a number of acute hospital settings; including specialist Oncology units (for example the Princess Grace Hospital Oncology) as well as Eating Disorder and mental health clinics (The Priory Group).
I have been working at the Priory, Roehampton since 2015 covering the Adult and Adolescent Eating Disorder Inpatients as well as
general adolescent mental health inpatients.
In addition, I am completing my Msc in Sports Nutrition, focussing on energy sustainability and sufficiency of different diets, like veganism, within elite endurance athletes. I look to combine these specialities to provide a rounded and holistic approach to help clients.
My personal interest in dietetics and start of my career originated from the experiences that came with my eldest son’s early diagnoses of Autism, Acute Reflux and associated food refusal for the early years of his life. Through this and my extensive work with Adolescents in Mental Health clinics, I am fluent with the requirements related to fussy eating and other associated eating and sensory disorders relating to Special Needs.
