Elle Mace

Elle Mace is a master practitioner in disordered eating, obesity, and nutrition who specialises in transforming relationships with food and body image. Drawing from her personal recovery from eating disorders, she leads her own clinic delivering bespoke therapy and coaching, runs global retreats, hosts a podcast, and serves as a board member for eatrightPRO.org. She also founded the Beyond the Scale project, equipping athletes and sports teams with tools to navigate eating and body image challenges. Her sessions empower audiences to overcome imposter syndrome, heal past traumas, and build sustainable wellbeing, helping individuals and organisations foster healthier, more confident teams.

After overcoming her own decade-long struggle with disordered eating, Elle Mace transformed her personal recovery into a mission that now reaches athletes, corporate teams, and individuals worldwide. She founded the Beyond the Scale project, an initiative born from recognising the growing number of athletes seeking help with eating and body image challenges. Working alongside fellow professionals and Team GB athletes, she equips sports individuals and teams with practical tools to navigate their complex relationships with food and body image. Her work extends through her own clinic, where she delivers bespoke therapy and coaching, hosts global retreats, runs a podcast, and designs CPD training courses that share her evidence-based approach with other practitioners.

Elle's credentials as a master practitioner in disordered eating, obesity, and nutrition are matched by her qualifications as a CPD Trainer, Facilitator, and Level 5 ILM coach and mentor. Her professional standing is further reinforced by her role as a board member for eatrightPRO.org, serving from 2026 to 2027, where she contributes to shaping industry standards and best practices. This combination of lived experience and academic rigour allows her to address the root causes of disordered eating with both empathy and expertise. She understands how past traumas manifest in present-day challenges such as imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the constant pursuit of belonging. Her approach centres on healing the fundamental relationship people have with food, recognising it as both a physical necessity and an emotional touchstone that reflects deeper psychological patterns.

In her speaking engagements, Elle creates space for audiences to gain meaningful insights that translate into lasting behavioural change. She helps individuals and organisations understand how mental wellbeing and physical health are inseparably linked, particularly in high-performance environments where pressure can fuel destructive patterns. Her sessions move beyond awareness to action, offering practical strategies that attendees can implement immediately. Whether addressing corporate teams about fostering psychologically safe cultures or speaking to sports organisations about athlete welfare, Elle's message centres on sustainable wellbeing rather than quick fixes. Audiences leave equipped to recognise warning signs, support colleagues and teammates effectively, and build healthier relationships with food, body image, and self-worth. Her authentic, empathetic delivery ensures complex psychological concepts become accessible tools for real-world application, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond the event itself.
