Hi, my name is Ellee McEvoy, born and raised in beautiful Ireland. I made the big move across the world, to WA in October 2024. I am a Nutritionist at The Wellness Place and Peak Performance Institute. Exercise, health and wellbeing have always been a huge part of my life and as a result led me to pursuing a career that nurtures both.
I graduated from the University of Limerick attaining a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and Irish. Having been involved in team sport all my life to a high level, I continued my studies and completed a Masters in Sports and Exercise Nutrition to gain a deeper understanding on the role nutrition plays in our lives from a general population perspective right through to the elite athlete.
My journey as a Nutritionist to date has allowed me to work across a range of settings and I find my work incredibly fulfilling as I see first hand the changes that evidence based nutrition awareness and informed decisions can have on people’s lives, so that we feel better and live a healthier life.
Having founded my own business in Ireland in 2022, I primarily worked as a Performance Nutritionist with intercounty athletes (state level) playing Gaelic football and hurling. I also ran workshops and seminars to a variety of sports teams, in schools, at teenage
summer camps, and within the corporate world. My main areas of interest include;
There is so much noise in the world of personal training and nutrition nowadays with an overemphasis on calorie intake and high protein diets. I believe that there is so much more to food than caloric value.
My aim as a practitioner is to help my clients understand that food is the fuel to make us feel good and should be enjoyed. My goal is to ensure that my clients develop the skills and knowledge that allows them to achieve their goals in a healthy and supportive way.
My own personal experience playing Gaelic football at an elite level in Ireland and having recently begun playing WAFL, has cultivated my treatment approach and given me the first hand experience of what it takes to reach peak performance.
The variety of clients I work with from young athletes to the ageing adult enable me to provide a unique, individualised service that aims to develop the person holistically.
Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active by playing Gaelic football, going to the gym, a morning run, a sunset walk by the beach and trialling out new recipes in the kitchen.
