I have worked with Marie for the past couple of months to develop better nutritional habits. Marie has managed to make small changes to my lifestyle that have resulted in big returns.

Marie took the time to get to know my current habits before using her vast knowledge and experience to refocus my approach to both training and diet. Marie’s energy and enthusiasm plus her belief in you as her client has made this journey for me the most enjoyable and also proven that its never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. Highly recommend working with Marie and all of the FFS team.

Knowledgeable. Practical. Compassionate. Marie’s expertise shines through in her ability to provide focused guidance for optimal impact. Her straightforward approach, coupled with genuine compassion, goes beyond dietary advice. She invests time in understanding her clients’ backgrounds, past habits, and motivations for change- all in a judgement-free and supportive environment. I’m so grateful to work with her!

I initially met with Marie at a point where I had lost some weight independently, but felt quite unsure about how to move forward in a sustainable manner that complimented my strength training. After completing a comprehensive assessment of my nutrition, eating habits, lifestyle and training history, Marie developed a clear approach that I could modulate depending on my goals, be it fat loss, weight maintenance or gaining. Due to the nature of my job I had relied heavily on shop bought pre-made meals to control my daily calorie intake. Marie helped me to move towards less processed and more micro nutrient dense options that still fit within my busy day to day routine. She also advised me on tactics to reduce the long term negative health effects of working nights and irregular hours. At every interaction I get the sense that Marie aims to meet me where I am, and so I always leave feeling confident and empowered to move forward independently. Since working with Marie and implementing her advice, I feel like nutrition takes up much less of my mental bandwidth day to day. I have been able to progress with my goals of fat loss and gaining strength in the gym (with significantly more energy for my workouts to boot!).I have nothing but the highest regard for Marie Bracken, and I feel so lucky to have worked with her as both a strength coach and nutritionist. Marie’s practice is thoughtful, personalised, evidence based and delivered with kindness and fantastic wit! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her nutrition service at FFS.
