I'm Mary — a registered dietitian, yoga teacher, and mindfulness practitioner. I bring together clinical expertise, a strong medical background, and a genuine belief that lasting health starts with understanding yourself, not following rules.
I work with UK clients online, and offer private yoga sessions online. I'm available evenings and weekends to fit around working life.
The title "Dietitian" is legally protected in the UK. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist — but only HCPC-registered dietitians have met rigorous academic and clinical standards and are held professionally accountable.
Dietitians complete an accredited degree covering physiology, biochemistry, clinical medicine, and evidence-based nutrition — not a short course or online certification.
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I must meet strict standards of practice and ethics, and I can be struck off for poor practice. Your safety is protected by law.
My recommendations are grounded in current scientific research and clinical guidelines. No fad diets, no miracle cures — just what the evidence actually shows, made practical for your life.
Before dietetics, I completed three years of medical training and a BSc in Medical Sciences. This gives me a depth of clinical understanding that shapes how I assess and support complex health needs.
As a qualified yoga teacher trained in Nepal, I understand how stress, movement, and mental wellbeing shape eating behaviour. I can offer integrated support that goes beyond a meal plan.
My practice is rooted in behaviour change science and compassion. I work with your life as it is — not an idealised version. Progress, not perfection, is always the goal.
I started out studying medicine at the University of East Anglia, where I graduated with a BSc in Medical Sciences (hons) — giving me a strong grounding in physiology, pathology, and clinical thinking. Alongside my studies, I worked for three years as an NHS healthcare assistant, supporting patients directly on wards and developing a deep respect for the human side of healthcare.
I then went on to complete an MSc in Nutrition and Dietetics (hons) at the University of Chester, where I qualified as a registered dietitian. During my clinical placements I gained hands-on experience in gastroenterology wards and outpatient clinics, as well as managing nutrition support including tube feeding, and working with patients with chronic liver disease and complex wound healing needs.
I am registered with the HCPC as a dietitian from July 2026, when I begin my role as an NHS community dietitian. My private practice focuses on gut health and digestive conditions — the area I am most passionate about and most clinically trained in.
I am also a member of the BDA Gastroenterology Specialist Group and the BDA Sustainable Diets Specialist Group, and have completed additional BDA-accredited training in Behaviour Change and the Low FODMAP Diet.
I am fluent in English and Spanish.
Clinical placement in gastroenterology, supporting patients with complex digestive conditions in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Assessment and management of patients requiring enteral nutrition support, including nasogastric and PEG feeding.
Nutritional management of patients with chronic liver disease, including assessment of malnutrition risk and specialist dietary intervention.
Supporting patients whose recovery and wound healing was dependent on optimised nutritional intake.
Beginning a community dietitian role in the NHS, building on placement experience across a broad range of clinical settings.
Before I became a dietitian, I was a yoga teacher — and I still am. I completed my 200-hour hatha and vinyasa yoga teacher training at the Mandala Yoga Retreat in Kathmandu, Nepal. I am a regular Ashtanga yoga and meditation practitioner, and during my MSc I founded and led a free Mindfulness Society for students at the University of Chester.
I offer private yoga and mindfulness sessions online. Studio classes are coming soon — follow me on Instagram for updates.

Food is so much more than fuel. It is culture, comfort, pleasure, and memory. I believe that lasting change happens when we work with all of that — not against it.
My approach is person-centred and grounded in behaviour change science. I listen first, understand your life and your goals, and build a plan that feels realistic — not something you will abandon after two weeks.
I am also passionate about the relationship between food and the environment. I am a member of the BDA Sustainable Diets Specialist Group and am happy to explore this alongside your health goals if it matters to you — though it is never mandatory, and I respect all food choices.
"Good nutrition support should feel calm, informed, and sustainable — not overwhelming or prescriptive."— Mary Brant, Registered Dietitian
My values outside the clinic directly inform how I practise — with an emphasis on practicality, flexibility, and approaches that fit real life.
I value time in nature and regular movement — not as performance, but as part of a sustainable, enjoyable lifestyle. This shapes how I talk about physical activity with clients.
I volunteer on organic farms and have completed the 'Future Food: Sustainable Food Systems for the 21st Century' course. A member of the BDA Sustainable Diets Specialist Group.
I am fluent in English and Spanish, and am happy to offer consultations in either language. Please mention this when you get in touch.
