About
You may already know that eating a balanced diet is crucial for health, but did you know that what you eat can also affect your mood?
​
The food you eat can influence your mood and has the ability to lower the risk of mental disorders, alleviate depressive symptoms, and enhance concentration and memory. Gut health is a key factor in this connection.
About Me
Hi! I'm Courtney
As an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a background in social work, I am passionate about supporting women in improving their health through nutrition and evidence-based practice. Through my past experience I bring a trauma-informed lens to my practice, highlighting your strengths and listening without judgement.
​
With my practice, I aim to provide a holistic approach to nutrition, considering all aspects of a person's health and wellness to help them become healthier versions of themselves. My nutrition consults are tailored to fit your unique needs, taking into account your lifestyle, health history, mental health and personal preferences, because we know nutrition isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
Mission
At Courtney Ellis Nutrition, our mission is to support mood and gut health through personalised nutrition, putting you at the centre of your wellness journey. We believe in the uniqueness of each individual, recognising that one-size-fits-all has no place in nutrition. We are dedicated to empowering you on your health journey and fostering holistic and sustainable well-being.
Vision
At Courtney Ellis Nutrition, we envision a world where holistic nutrition fosters optimal well-being. Our mission is to guide you towards balanced, vibrant lives, emphasising the interconnectedness of mind, body, and nutrition. We aspire to be a trusted source for personalised, evidence-based nutrition, where you and your gut health thrive.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed practice takes a strengths-based approach to understanding the impacts of trauma, taking into account physical, emotional and psychological safety. With my previous experience in social work roles, I have been trauma-informed trained and working with women in this space for 6 years.
​
What does this mean in dietetics?
Understanding that trauma can impact many aspects of one's life, especially eating patterns and relationships with food and exercise. My goal is to empower you to take steps at your own pace and support you to achieve your own health goals. With this in mind, I am focused on creating a safe environment for you to work towards your goals. It is also important when unpacking the relationship between food and mood (mental health).
