Carolyn Ellis - Registered Holistic Nutritionist
Carolyn Ellis is a lover of food and all things that involve food! From a very young age she loved being in the kitchen, making different recipes, playing with food and of course, eating food. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition at Western University. Her love of cooking led her to the prestigious Stratford Chef's School. This opened up her world to technique, new flavours, and respecting ingredients. Carolyn has since cooked in several restaurants in Canada as well as for private catering in France and the US. Her other passions are sport and health. To combine these passions she completed the Dr. Stacy Sims women are not small men course. Carolyn furthered her education to delve into the healing nature of food and is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. She currently owns and operates her own catering business. Working with Element Sports Coaching provides another outlet to support others in achieving their greatest nutritional potential and understanding the power that food has to keep us healthy and make us stronger.

Alicia Tremayne
It's a pleasure to join such an amazing team and squad of athletes! I am a service-focused, and a hardworking office support professional. I am a newcomer to vegetarian nutrition, and I love creating new recipes, I'm a sucker for a big hearty meal. So glad it's soup and sweater season now. I align with holistic health, Self-Love, Self-Acceptance, the Art of Letting Go, Indigenous Wisdom & Teachings, and Meditation.
Thrilled to be here making wonderful connections. 'All my Relations' |
