hello there
I'm Elle.
Bsc Nutritional therapist, creative & late diagnosed Autistic
So glad you chassed on by (I presume you chassed in, or is that just me?) However you got here, I’m so happy to have you.
I always knew I was different. I spent years uncontrollably crying, hating myself; believing I was broken and stupid. After years of misdiagnoses I was eventually diagnosed with autism. I never want anyone else to go through what I went through. I am hugley passionate about advocating for neurodivergent people.
I’ve also had more than my share of skin and gut issues. I spent years trialling medications, clearing the chemist shelves of acne products, trying every fad diet under the sun …all to no avail.
That’s when I got curious about nutrition. I got really into health and fitness but due to my love of routine and obsessive nature, “clean eating” and daily cardio led to amenorrhea.
A turning point came in 2017. An *eventful* holiday to Bali left me with unwanted guests (parasites!) and post infectious IBS. I lived in elasticated pyjama pants, in close proximity to a toilet at all times and was fearful that each meal would leave me in pain. After receiving a print out of the low FODMAP diet and being told to “learn to live with it” I knew there had to be a way to calm my gut.
⟟ Currenty based in Winchester (UK) but always dreaming of sunshine & palm trees.
*Enter holistic health* and my discovery of nutritional therapy.
Through diet, lifestyle and some specific supplements IBS no longer ruled my life. I became so passionate about nutrition that I proceeded to spend three years studying for a BSc in nutritional therapy at the Institute of Optimal Nutrition (ION), validated by Portsmouth University.
You may be asking, “what the heck is nutritional therapy? ”
To me, nutritional therapy is where science meets individuality. Nutritional therapists use evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle stratergies and talior them to the individual, with the aim of bringing the body’s systems back into balance.
I am particuarly interested in gut health, skin health and advoacting for neurodivergent individuals.

Me — in a nutshell
FUELLED DAILY BY
Herbal Teas
No English breakfast tea for me thanks, it’s herbal infusions all the way.
I’m also partial to black coffee, kombucha and a full bodied red (everything in moderation).
probably listening to
Dance Anthems
Dance music is essential for a good workout.
I grew up with my dad playing dance music on the stereo every Saturday and I’ve loved it every since.
Can’t lie, I hate running. I love HIIT, weights and a bit of Pilates. Find my favourite YouTube workout channels on the Tools & Resources page.

I am a summer person. My happiest memories are of family holidays abroad and playing in the pool with my sister.
