Maura Stewart, RD

I am a Registered Dietitian with a master’s in nutrition and a concentration in Sports Nutrition. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Connecticut (UCONN) and completed my Dietetic internship as well as my master’s degree from the University of Saint Joseph. I had the opportunity to work in several different fields within the nutrition world, including the Division I athletic departments at UCONN as well as Central Connecticut State University. My approach begins with a deep dive into your current habits, routines, and past behaviors, offering a holistic view of what has been working for you, and what hasn’t. Together, we can explore your unique challenges, preferences, and lifestyle, ensuring that you are comfortable with any changes needed to be made. Starting a health journey can be intimidating in its own. I hope to alleviate some of the stress that comes along with new things and provide small achievable goals to help with your journey.  

​

I grew up as an athlete and was always curious on how to properly fuel my body. I found there was a lack of knowledge of nutrition within the athletic world as well as unrealistic expectations on what an athlete should look like.  As a part time swim coach, I now get to be the person I needed when I was growing up in various sports. Educating and helping athletes fuel their bodies properly to optimize their performance. I then created my own private practice, Mindful Nutrition. Co to continue my passion of helping others. I hope to continue to make a difference in people’s lives, both in sports and daily life.

In my free time you will find me exercising, going for walks, cooking, baking, being a swim coach and enjoying time with my friends, family and dog!
