Maria Winkworth

About Maria

Hi! My name is Maria Winkworth and I am a registered dietitian with a specialty in weight management and bariatric nutrition, supporting individuals before and after weight-loss surgery as well as those working toward sustainable, long-term health changes. My clinical experience includes helping patients navigate plateaus, improve metabolic health, and build consistent habits without extreme rules or all-or-nothing thinking.

Approach to care

I provide personalized nutrition counseling that is practical, evidence-based, and tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or unsure how to move forward, my role is to help you create a clear and realistic plan you can actually maintain.

Your first session with Maria

Your first session is all about you. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing your story. We’ll talk about your health goals, your history with food, and what your day-to-day eating currently looks like. I’ll ask questions to better understand what’s been challenging, what’s worked in the past, and what you’re hoping will feel different moving forward. By the end of our first session, we’ll identify clear next steps and begin building a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and tailored to your needs.
