Hello, I'm Ellie O'Connell, an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD). Currently, I serve as the dietitian for Richmond AFLW and Melbourne Boomers (WNBL), working with individuals from Western United (Mens A-League), Richmond's VFL team, and endurance athletes. My commitment to education extends to collaborating closely with some Victorian independent schools, including Scotch College, Loreto Mandeville Hall, and Shelford Girls Grammar. Additionally, I contribute to educational initiatives at Deakin University, aligning with my passion for empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health and performance.

​

I believe in empowering my clients through evidence-based and practical nutrition advice. My services include thorough nutrition consultations tailored to individual needs, goal-setting, and personalised meal plans. I am dedicated to staying current with the latest research to help clients achieve health and performance goals through sustainable nutrition practices.

​

Outside of my Dietetics commitments, I'm also the Pilates instructor for Richmond Football Club, AFL. Outside of work, I enjoy competing in triathlons, recognising the crucial role of a healthy mind and body, and how nutrition contributes to that extra 1% for peak performance.
