Hello, I’m Joanne
I’m a registered dietitian (CORU) and founder of Wellbe. I worked for many years in mental health services within the Irish health system before setting up my private practice. I’m also a certified mindfulness teacher and registered yoga teacher.
I create space for clients to slow down, take a breath, and find their path to wellness in a body obsessed and frantic world.
My services are for adults > 20 years old.
I am also a mum, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a business owner, a coffee chugger, a life juggler, an accidental house plant killer, a terrible baker and a 1980’s music lover.
I am so glad you are here!
Wellbe is a welcoming space for you..
to explore one-to-one non-diet nutrition counseling.
to explore healing mind-body self-care through mindfulness and mindful movement.
to reclaim your relationship with health (whatever that means to you), free of weight stigma and diet dogma.
to re-connect with yourself on the same path to living an authentic and easefully-nourished life.
I PROVIDE AFFIRMING, INCLUSIVE SERVICES TO PEOPLE OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND NEEDS.
We are navigating a society that idolises thinness, and a healthcare system that medicalises larger body size. I support you to quieten this noise and find a path to what is rightfully yours - an easeful relationship with food, body, movement, health and life-stress. You are the expert of you. I tailor my services to your needs, wants, goals, life-experience, at your pace and depth.
I regularly work with other health professionals - physicians, mental health clinicians and fellow dietitians - to ensure clients best care.
I recognise I hold many unearned privilege’s, including not having personal experience of weight stigma or weight discrimination. I bring many years of professional experience and a massive dose of compassion to my work. I centre you as an expert in your experience. I am committed to regular supervision and training in the area of weight inclusive care so that I support clients towards fair healthcare outcomes.
I founded Wellbe after many years as a registered dietitian in eating disorders and mental health services.
I weave the embodiment practices of yoga and mindfulness with non-diet, intuitive eating counselling and medical nutrition therapy. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in how our nervous system shapes our experience of stress, food, and body.
I’m deeply interested in weight stigma and how body size messaging, which we absorb from a young age, can erode our relationship with food, movement and body image.
I am passionate about offering weight-inclusive, social justice-informed care rooted in body respect and science.
