Founder, Katherine Elyse Blake
Katherine leads the Beautifully Nourished Team and began developing her nutritional expertise in 2008, whilst studying for her BSC in Nutrition. Upon obtainment, Katherine travelled to Kentucky, USA to work within a nutrigenomics centre. Assessing the interaction between nutrition and health by isolating RNA and detailing the effects that nutrients have upon gene expression profiles, Katherine's focus was upon researching and testing preventative nutrients against type 2 diabetes and gastrointestinal cancers. It was here that her love for personalised nutrition was born.
In summer, 2012, Katherine packed her bags and moved to London and began interning for an ingredients company, based in central London. It is here that the Beautifully Nourished vision began to take hold and the seeds for BN had been planted.
Katherine later enrolled into business school, in Dublin Ireland in the year of 2014. Alongside her studies, Katherine launched Beautifully Nourished as an online magazine, providing an outlet for nutritional information and began to build a community of Women that shared in the BN ethos.
Upon returning to London, Katherine trained as a product developer at Sainsbury's head-office, Chancery Lane. With the ambition of self-funding Beautifully Nourished, she took the plunge and set up as a consultant, designing products and product ranges for brands and retailers around the world. After a "truly amazing stint in consulting, making life long friends and learning more than I ever could have dreamed, it was time for Beautifully Nourished".
In Spring 2019, Beautifully Nourished launched it's first two collections; natural, organic skincare and advanced nutraceuticals designed to boost and support both mental and physical wellbeing and sustainable health.
Today, the original-online magazine-has evolved into Beautifully Nourished's daily E-Zine; The Fix.
