Elle Mace's biography

At a glance

  • Debut author of Food Freedom
  • CIMSPA and CPD accredited fitness and wellbeing trainer
  • Has delivered corporate sessions for Bloomberg, NHS, and Met Office

Food, body image, and self-worth sit at the centre of Elle Mace's work as a psychology and wellbeing speaker and educator. She helps audiences understand disordered eating, diet culture, and body image not as willpower problems but as psychological ones.


Trained in hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP, and positive psychology, and currently studying psychotherapy, Elle also holds CIMSPA accreditation as a fitness professional and designs CIMSPA and CPD-accredited courses for fitness and sports professionals. She is also the author of Food Freedom, a practical guide for women looking to rebuild their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth.


On the corporate circuit, Elle has become a regular voice for organisations such as Bloomberg, the Met Office, Lloyds Bank, Gymshark, and the NHS, alongside universities and colleges across the UK. Beyond her core specialism, she is frequently booked to speak on resilience, burnout, imposter syndrome, moving from surviving to thriving, and peak performance.


Elle's work extends past the boardroom: she founded Elevate Festival in Devon, with proceeds going to MND awareness, hosts the More to Life podcast, and runs Morning Tide, a community built around sea swimming, meditation, and yoga. She has featured in HELLO!, Stylist, The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph, and on BBC Morning Live and BBC Radio.


Book Elle for psychology that feels human rather than clinical: warm, direct, and refreshingly honest in equal measure.

Elle's showreel and videos

Topics, sessions and talks

Relationship To Food, Body, And Self

Our relationship with food and our bodies isn't about willpower, it's psychological. Elle Mace breaks down why so many high-performing people get stuck in cycles of restriction, guilt, and self-criticism, and what it takes to break free. Drawing on food psychology, body image research, and her debut book, Food Freedom, the talk gives audiences a clearer understanding of their own behaviours and practical tools to shift their self-talk, with a version focused on confidence and performance at work.

Resilience: Capacity To Cope, Adapt, And Grow

Resilience isn't about pushing through, it's a skill that can be built. Elle Mace explores the psychology of resilience, why some people bounce back from setbacks while others get stuck, and how teams and individuals can build genuine capacity to handle pressure without burning out. The session is practical and psychology-backed, giving audiences a clearer understanding of their own stress responses and concrete ways to build resilience that hold up in high-pressure work environments.

Burnout: Spot It, Stop It, Recover From It

Burnout isn't just tiredness, it's a psychological and physiological state with real warning signs, most of which get missed or ignored until it's too late. Elle Mace unpacks what's actually happening in the mind and body during burnout, how to recognise the early signs in yourself and your team, and what genuinely helps recovery versus what just papers over the cracks. Audiences leave with a clearer picture of where they or their colleagues stand, and what to do next.

Imposter Syndrome: Rewiring That Inner Voice

That nagging feeling of not belonging or being found out holds back even the most capable people. Elle Mace explores where imposter syndrome comes from psychologically, why it disproportionately affects high achievers, and gives audiences practical tools to quieten that voice and operate with genuine confidence. Drawing on her background in psychology and coaching, she shows how the same self-doubt that undermines performance can be recognised early and worked with rather than ignored.

Surviving To Thriving: Psychology Of Performance

Performance isn't just about doing more, it's about operating from a psychologically healthy foundation. Elle Mace draws on resilience, self-worth, and behavioural psychology to show what actually separates people who are merely surviving high-pressure roles from those who are genuinely thriving in them. Audiences come away with practical strategies they can apply immediately, along with a clearer, more honest sense of what genuine, sustainable performance looks like day to day for them and their teams.

Why we recommend booking Elle

Elle Mace combines food psychology expertise with a corporate track record on resilience, burnout, and imposter syndrome. For organisations wanting to address wellbeing at its psychological root rather than its symptoms, she offers a grounded, practical way in.

Testimonials

I can't thank Elle enough for the support with my relationship with food. I had tried all kinds of diet but following Elle's advice has really helped me move forward.

Janet

Commercial Director

The feedback has been excellent, and your session Surviving to Thriving was apparently phenomenal. I have heard lovely things all day. We really hope you can join us again for our next Staff Development Day. We are still waiting for the dates for the next academic year, but I will let you know as soon as we have them. Thank you so much, Elle.

North Devon College

I found Elle's presentation really beneficial both personally and professionally. Personally I would prefer more of what we had from Elle which was actually giving us the tools to deal with change

If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and a bit about your audience.

What is Elle Mace's speaking style like?

Elle Mace draws on food psychology and body image research, framing behavioural patterns — such as restriction cycles and self-criticism — as psychological rather than willpower-based, and pairs this with tools drawn from CBT, NLP, and positive psychology to give audiences practical frameworks they can apply directly.

What topics does Elle Mace specialise in?

Elle Mace speaks on the psychology of food and body image, resilience and stress management, and burnout recognition and recovery. She is the author of Food Freedom and has delivered corporate sessions for Bloomberg, the NHS, and Lloyds Bank.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
