About Mariposa Yoga Nutrition Wellbeing
Mariposa Yoga Nutrition Wellbeing was set up in 2018 by Mari, Registered Dietitian and 300-hr Certified Yoga Teacher. Mari offers advice and encourages healthy lifestyle through her time and work in the NHS, working as a Freelance Dietitian & teaching yoga classes and workshops.
Nutrition has played an important part in the management of Mari’s own challenging digestive and hormonal issues. However, it was whilst training to be a yoga teacher that she finally found the right balance for her health and began to see real progress in improving her symptoms. Yoga not only addressed the best ways to be active but restored energy levels and provided a daily awareness of the body and of mental wellbeing.

In her career as a Registered Dietitian Mari has specialised in various areas of Mental Health Dietetics including Adult Mental Health, Addictions and Adult Eating Disorders. Due to her specialisms, she has also lectured at Glasgow Caledonian University and presented at the Scottish Perinatal Mental Health Conference.
