Autorenporträt
Award winning nutrition educator, Dr. Catherine Morley has worked as a registered dietitian for over 40 years. Their career began as a clinical dietitian and manager in hospitals and cancer care. During the time that Morley was working with seriously ill people and their families, the professional became personal when one of their brothers died after a lengthy illness. The grief and sadness associated with feeding a loved one in the hopes they might get better was not something Morley had previously considered incorporating into their nutrition counselling work. Intent on learning how to do that, and finding nothing written on eating with or feeding someone living with life-changing illness, Morley pursued a Ph.D. in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies at the University of Calgary. Their research was on meanings of eating and how these change with illness. Morley is one of the first dietitian-researchers internationally to use phenomenology (the study of the everyday) as a research approach. They have applied their research findings as a consultant in provincial- and national-level nutrition program design and evaluation, and as a university professor. Morley is a prolific author and co-author of academic and research studies pertaining to eating and feeding during times of illness, dietetics education, as well as eating and gender diversity. This is their first solo book, and their first work dedicated to caregivers and those in their circle of care. A lifelong volunteer, Morley served as Chair and is a life member and fellow of Dietitians of Canada; served on the Board of Caregivers Nova Scotia; is a member of the Canadian Centre of Excellence in Caregiving Advisory Network; and the Canadian Malnutrition Task Force Primary & Community Care Working Group. Catherine is co-founder of "Nutrition Counselling, Unscripted", a training program for dietitians; a Death Doula candidate; an enthusiastic textilian; and most importantly, a mum.
