ABOUT ORIGINE
I'm Aurélie Claire
Registered Nutritional Therapist, neurodivergent woman, and someone who knows what it feels like to spend years trying to do everything “right” without really understanding your own body.
MY STORY
For years, I felt like I was fighting my own body.
In my twenties and early thirties, I was doing what so many of us do when we want to feel better: looking outside myself for answers.
I tried different diets, health routines and advice, always hoping the next thing would be the thing that finally worked.
But nothing really stuck.
I was dealing with hair loss, digestive issues, extremely dry skin, plantar fasciitis, weight gain, constant fatigue, severe hay fever and brain fog. With autoimmune disease and cancer in my family, I was also frightened about what these symptoms might mean for my future.
More than anything, I felt lost. I didn't understand why my body reacted the way it did, and I didn't trust it.
So I kept trying harder….
-
In 2021, I discovered Nutritional Therapy and enrolled at the College of Naturopathic Medicine.
For the first time, I began looking at health differently. Rather than seeing nutrition, sleep, stress, movement and symptoms as separate things, I started connecting the dots and paying attention to my own patterns.
Around the same time, I discovered strength training and running. Gradually, as I changed the way I ate and lived, things began to shift. My energy became more stable, my skin improved and even the severe hay fever I'd experienced for much of the year began to ease.
But perhaps more importantly, I was beginning to understand myself.
Then, in 2024, life tested everything I'd learned.
A difficult work environment pushed me into a period of intense stress and eventually burnout. My digestion deteriorated, my concentration disappeared and things that had once felt manageable suddenly became overwhelming.
My instinct was familiar: push harder.
But this time, I recognised that pushing harder wasn't the answer.
I needed to pay attention to what was draining me, what helped me recover, how my nervous system responded to my environment, and what my body and brain actually needed.
Around the same time, I began exploring neurodivergence and was eventually diagnosed with AuDHD.
Suddenly, years of my life made more sense: the routines I could never sustain, the bursts of energy followed by exhaustion, the overwhelm, the sensory sensitivities and the effort I'd spent trying to function in ways that didn't suit me.
It reinforced something I'd gradually been learning through nutrition:
Health advice only becomes useful when it works for the person actually living it.
Today, I don't expect my body to feel perfect all the time. But I understand myself far better. I recognise my patterns, notice when something is changing and have the knowledge and tools to respond rather than immediately feeling lost.
That is what I want for my clients too.
Not another set of rules to follow perfectly. Not dependence on a practitioner forever.
I want you to understand your own body and brain, recognise your patterns and build an approach that works with your actual life, so that, eventually, you feel confident supporting yourself.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
Understanding comes before change.
I believe lasting change begins with understanding, not another set of rules to follow.
When we work together, we look beyond individual symptoms to explore how nutrition, sleep, stress, lifestyle and your health history may be influencing how you feel.
My role is to connect the dots, translate complex health science into something you can actually use, and help you make changes that fit your life.
I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent women, including those with or exploring ADHD and AuDHD, because conventional health advice doesn't always account for how differently we may experience routines, stress, sensory demands and everyday life.
We work together for a defined period, with a clear goal: helping you develop the knowledge, tools and confidence to support your health independently.
Because success isn't about following a plan perfectly. It's about understanding what works for you , and why.
Originally from Lyon (first picture on this page), France and now based in the UK, I also bring a French influence to the way I think about food, with an emphasis on enjoyment, quality, balance and making health part of life rather than something that takes it over.
