About Us

Ellie graduated with a First Class Honours in Physiotherapy from the University of Hertfordshire. Following qualification, she worked both in the community and the acute hospital setting across Hertfordshire, with specific focus on trauma and orthopaedics. 

Originally from the South Coast, Ellie returned home after time away, drawn back by the lifestyle and community. Since then, she has continued to build her clinical experience across a range of settings, developing a strong interest in musculoskeletal injuries and rehabilitation.

Alongside her clinical work Ellie has provided pitch-side and rehabilitation support to club level rugby teams both in Hertfordshire and on the South coast a role she still continues to enjoy.

Ellie leads an active life outside of Physiotherapy and is a bit of demon at Hyrox!

Louisa graduated from Brunel University in 2017 and completed her junior rotations at Poole Hospital. She specialised in Paediatrics in 2021 after developing a strong interest in working with children. While she has experience supporting children with both musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions, her clinical preference lies in working with musculoskeletal presentations.

With a background in competitive gymnastics—having represented Great Britain—and experience coaching the sport, Louisa brings a strong understanding of movement, performance, strength, and physical development. She is dedicated to helping children build confidence, recover from injury, and excel in their chosen sports.

Outside of work, Louisa enjoys keeping active and has recently taken up CrossFit.

With over 15 years’ experience working in the NHS and the past 6 years specialising in sports nutrition, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help clients improve their health and performance through evidence-based dietary strategies. I hold a BSc Honours degree in Dietetics, with additional specialist training in behaviour change techniques and insulin pump therapy.

My clinical background spans both paediatric and adult settings, with particular expertise in gastrointestinal health, weight management, and most recently, diabetes care. Whether you're managing a medical condition, training for a sporting event, or simply looking to feel your best, I take a practical, holistic approach to support lasting, meaningful change.

Outside of work, I balance my passion for running, swimming, and cycling with the lively chaos of family life—raising twin three-year-old boys and a six-year-old daughter. My goal is always to work collaboratively with clients, offering realistic, personalised advice that’s grounded in science and tailored to your lifestyle.
