Emma Patch is a Registered Nutritionist specialising in metabolic health, helping people move beyond diet culture to understand the true drivers of energy, resilience and long-term wellbeing. Her work focuses on addressing insulin resistance and the root causes of poor health through a practical, science-based approach that translates complex nutritional principles into real, sustainable change.

As Nutrition Team Leader at Combe Grove, Emma co-ordinates the nutrition element of the retreat experience, leading workshops and one-to-one consultations that empower guests to take control of their long-term health. With nearly a decade of experience across the food industry, obesity programmes and diabetes management, she brings both analytical precision and grounded empathy to her work.

Emma’s philosophy is simple: metabolic health is not about restriction or appearance, but about building the foundation for a more energetic, capable and fulfilling life.

Elen is a Registered Dietitian with over three years of clinical experience working within the NHS across a range of specialities including gastroenterology, diabetes, and paediatrics. This diverse background has equipped Elen with the knowledge and skills to offer personalised and evidence-based nutrition to individuals across various life stages and health needs.

Elen has a particular interest in metabolic health, driven by her passion for understanding the intricate relationship between diet, lifestyle, and chronic conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This interest has deepened through her work with metabolic clients at Combe Grove, where she focuses on helping individuals optimise their metabolic health through tailored nutrition plans. Elen is dedicated to empowering others to make informed dietary choices that support long-term health and wellness.

Oli has been practising combined healing for over thirty years following his journey to a more holistic way of life after a virus in his late teens impacted his own physical and mental health. A qualified Nutritionist, Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Reiki Master, mBIT Coach and Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Oli uses his unique combination of skills, knowledge, and life experience to help support others to make meaningful and sustainable changes to find their best health and wellbeing.

A strong advocate of the Combe Grove Food Ethos, Oli was the pioneering Executive Chef for Bristol’s iconic Watershed, developing and delivering The Plot to Plate Ethos and transforming the catering operation with ethically sourced, nutrient dense, food at a commercial level. Today Oli uses his love of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and culinary skills as an important element in providing nutritional health to his clients.

In his private practice and at Combe Grove Oli works on the basis that we are all individual and unique and therefore require individual protocols, plans and tools based on the Five Roots of Metabolic Health to facilitate personal change.
