Ellie Killick-West

Background & Bio Details

Like many practitioners, Ellie Killick-West’s journey into the world of nutrition and wellness began with her own health challenges. Since her teenage years, she had struggled with low mood, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and gut problems. This persisted into her twenties, and she often struggled to make sense of the way she was feeling.

After completing her undergraduate degree in psychology, Ellie studied at the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition. This was a game changer, as she learned to understand the direct impact of food and lifestyle choices on the body and mood. She began to put what she was learning into practice and saw significant improvements in her gut health, mood, and sleep.

Ellie’s mission now is to help others get back to feeling their best. She feels very passionately about helping people to feel healthy and resilient, both physically and mentally. She absolutely loves working with clients and is always honoured to be part of helping them achieve their health goals.

Having experienced rock bottom herself, Ellie has great compassion for her clients. She is often commended for being friendly and approachable, as well as for her determination to get to the root of symptoms. She believes it is not enough to focus on food alone, so her approach is broad. Lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, movement, light environment, and mindset all have a powerful influence on health, and Ellie always considers these elements in her work.

She works closely with clients over a period of six weeks, three months, or six months – creating personalised diet and lifestyle plans and providing the support needed to allow for a long-lasting, positive impact on health and wellbeing.
