Eleonora Sansoni

Eleonora
MOST, DIP NT. MSCCO

Eleonora is a Cranial and Structural Osteopath, Nutritional Therapist and Pilates Instructor.

I’m a firm believer that each person is unique and should be treated as such. I have a holistic approach to treatment which seeks to identify and address the cause of the presenting problem, rather than focusing only on relieving the symptoms. I mainly use hands-on techniques and give advice on lifestyle, nutrition and Pilates exercises.

I have a specific interest in gut health, women’s health and musculoskeletal health, which stems from my own experience with chronic joint pain, gut issues and acne, the cause of which had been missed by many practitioners. Only after addressing my gut and hormonal health I was able to improve my symptoms. I have found that the combined approach of Osteopathy, Nutrition and Pilates is the most effective when helping with complex cases.

Cranial Osteopathy London
Reformer Pilates Instructor Wellthy Clinic

I qualified from the British School of Osteopathy (now University College of Osteopathy) in 2016 and since graduation I continued to develop my skills in cranial osteopathy, nutrition and in Traditional Osteopathic Methods which enhances the concept of the ‘whole’. As a result, my treatments often combine different approaches that enable the body to restore homeostasis, improve function and reduce pain.

My education in manual therapy and nutrition progressed from my original training as a fitness and Pilates instructor. I have been teaching Pilates Studio classes and Pilates matwork on a private and group basis for the last 17 years in Italy, Australia and in the UK. I firmly believe that Pilates is not just about flexibility or strength, it’s about awareness and knowing how to optimise movements in everyday tasks to prevent injuries.

Eleonora Sansoni Osteopath Nutritionist

The need for an even more comprehensive approach to health lead me to seek further knowledge and answers in nutrition. My personal experience in dealing with a skin condition turned into a deep interest in how a balanced diet can have a positive impact on our general health. I graduated as a Nutritional Therapist from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London and have a specific interest in women’s health, gut health and musculoskeletal health, which stems from my own experience with chronic joint pain, gut issues and acne.

  • Praise for Eleonora

    “Since I met Eleonora and started following her nutritional plans, my life has literally changed! She managed to solve my PCOS-related health issues and taught me life-changing eating habits. I am now fully aware of my body, and I rely on her to understand how food can be the solution to my health issues (including intolerances and allergies). Thanks to her, my acne issue became manageable, and my irregular periods went back to normal.” - Francesca

  • Praise for Eleonora

    “I’m pleased to say as soon as I met Eleonora I felt I was in safe hands. She explained the cause of my symptoms and formulated a structured rehabilitation plan. This plan not only addressed my posture to improve my flexibility, improve my movements and reduce pains but I also received nutrition top tips and advice on supplements to speed up healing. After 4 sessions I felt much better, after 6 sessions I feel amazing. I would and have recommended Wellthy Clinic.” - Valentina

  • Praise for Eleonora

    “I have been doing classical pilates sessions for many years and with Eleonora for over 2 years and cannot recommend her highly enough. As a qualified osteopath as well as pilates teacher her ability to identify and work on my particular weaknesses is immensely helpful. I enjoy the variety of exercises and techniques which Eleanora tailors individually each week, but also the impact the sessions have on other forms of exercise I take. Eleanora has a lovely manner as well as being very focused on getting the best out of you each session.” - Laura

  • Praise for Eleonora

    “I want to say a huge thank you to Eleonora. I went to her initially for migraines; her thorough assessment revealed that my upper spine was not curving the way that it should. We did a course of 1-1 Pilates and a few osteopathy lessons and it has been one of the best things I’ve ever done! She has worked miracles on me! My back is so much straighter, my migraines have reduced and I now have the confidence to do Pilates on my own at home. She is a true professional and an amazing, warm, kind person and I am so happy that I chose her!” - Fay

The administrative side is also very well organised and run, and the appointments confirmed by mail regularly.” - Simone

A place to go and not look for more.” - Sol

Without wishing to exaggerate, I can say with absolute certainty, that Eleonora has completely transformed my life – I have no aches and pains at all anymore and it is the first time that I have ever looked forward to going to an exercise class. I do a 2 to 1 session with her and the care and attention that she gives is very personally adjusted to each client. Her exercises are never repetitive and I feel confident that I have learnt my Pilates from the best possible instructor.” - Claudia
