Hi, I'm Ellie - a HCPC Registered Clinical Dietitian, SENr Accredited Sports Nutritionist, and the founder of Fuel + Thrive Nutrition.

I created FTN to provide the nutrition support I wish I had as a competitive swimmer. My goal is to empower today's adolescent athletes to make performance-driven nutrition choices because I've seen firsthand how the right fuelling can take a good athlete to the next level, while poor nutrition can hold even the best back.

Why A Dietitian Matters | Working with a registered dietitian ensures your child receives safe, evidence-based guidance, especially if they have complex medical or nutrition needs like Type 1 Diabetes, Coeliac Disease or allergies. You get strategies that are clinically informed, personalised and designed to help your child thrive both in and out of sport.

My Coaching Approach | I combine clinical dietetics with specialist sports nutrition training to offer practical support that works in the real-world. I work alongside parents and athletes, translating nutrition science into strategies and habits that fit the busy life of sports families. 

It's not about handing over a one-off meal plan - it's about educating, empowering and coaching so families feel confident and athletes perform at their best.
