Meet the Team

  • Co-Founder / Movement Specialist

    Her passion for movement began in the world of musical theater, where she performed across London, Scotland, and South America. This experience ignited a deeper awareness of the body, leading her to explore holistic movement practices such as Pilates. With certifications in Mat, Reformer, Personal Training, Pre/Post Natal, and Sports Injury, Kirsten has become a highly skilled movement specialist.

    After years of being told nothing was wrong, she finally discovered she was living with Hashimoto’s autoimmune condition, a diagnosis that came through the expertise of a functional health practitioner. Thanks to a holistic approach that combined proper diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and supplementation, functional medicine has dramatically transformed her life.

    Now, as a co-founder of LITHE, Kirsten channels her personal health journey and her expertise to help others achieve balance in functional movement and wellness.

  • Co- Founder / Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine Practitioner (ION/ IFM/ in training)

    Hania's passion for health and well-being stems from her personal journey through a complex web of unexplained symptoms and misdiagnoses.

    Frustrated by conventional approaches, she turned to her own research and functional medicine. She uncovered the root causes of her health challenges such as: hormonal imbalances ‘PCOS’, HPA axis dysfunction, gut dysbiosis and mold toxicity which 'saved her life'.

    In 2020, Hania began her studies at the ION, deepening her expertise in functional nutrition and medicine. She recognises that true healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, but a blend of personalised, evidence-based care addressing many interconnected factors.

    Her journey inspired the creation of LITHE—a community-focused, research-driven approach to health. Hania is dedicated to empowering others to navigate their unique paths to well-being. She deeply believes that her personal health journey was her destiny to make her a knowledgeable practitioner who can empathise with others on a deeper level.

  • Co- Founder / Holistic nourishment and mindfulness

    Sophie grew up in Sweden, surrounded by a family deeply rooted in alternative healthcare and natural remedies. Despite this upbringing, her move to London and years of working in the high-pressure hospitality industry led to a lifestyle marked by stress and excess, taking a toll on her physical and mental health.

    At 27, a severe bout of pneumonia became Sophie’s wake-up call, prompting her to reevaluate her way of living. With the guidance of a naturopath, she embarked on a long and transformative journey to reclaim her health. While friends offered support, Sophie realised the need for a community where individuals could share experiences and practical tools to integrate holistic health into daily life.

    This realisation inspired her to immerse herself in meditation communities, retreats, and connections with like-minded individuals. As a co-founder, Sophie’s vision for LITHE is to provide a supportive platform for anyone, from those just beginning their health journey to seasoned practitioners, to connect, share insights, and live more intentionally through holistic embodiment.

The LITHE concept—Living Intentionally Through Holistic Embodiment—was born from the genuine friendship and shared passion of three individuals who have each navigated their own health journeys. Their collective experiences, rooted in real-life struggles and successes, have inspired them to create a platform where health and wellbeing are approached with integrity and transparency.

LITHE is more than just a wellness concept; it’s a movement toward building awareness and making informed decisions across all aspects of life—nutrition, movement, lifestyle, and nutraceuticals. The founders deeply understand the weight of commercial misinformation in the wellness industry, especially in the age of online influence, and are committed to providing a space free of confusion and noise.

With LITHE, you’ll find guidance rooted in core human values: authenticity, transparency, and a deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual. Whether you’re looking to optimize your mental and physical health or simply take your next step toward becoming a better version of yourself, LITHE is here to navigate that journey with you.

"Living Intentionally Through Holistic Embodiment"

Intentional living

Involves being aware of your choices and how they align with your deeper values, rather than living passively or on autopilot.

Holistic embodiment

Being fully present with your body, recognising the mind-body connection, and understanding that all aspects of yourself contribute to how you experience life.

Together, this phrase implies living with mindfulness and awareness, ensuring that your actions, thoughts, and feelings are aligned with a deeper sense of purpose and balance across all dimensions of your life

  • Functional nutrition emphasises balance, whole, unprocessed, nutrient- dense natural foods. It focuses on health from the inside out, helping people achieve a healthier, more mindful relationship with food.

  • Functional medicine is a patient-centered, holistic approach to healthcare that seeks to address the root causes of disease, rather than just treating symptoms. It is based on the idea that every individual is biochemically unique and that health issues arise from an interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Functional medicine takes a systems-based approach, viewing the body as an interconnected whole, and focuses on finding and addressing the underlying imbalances or dysfunctions that contribute to illness.

    This includes; comprehensive assessment, laboratory testing, diet and nutrition, lifestyle modifications, targeted supplements and detoxification. Functional medicine can support a wide range of health conditions such as, chronic inflammation, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions and mental health.

  • Holistic movement refers to an approach to physical activity that considers the entire body, mind, and spirit, focusing on alignment, balance, flexibility, strength, and overall well-being. It's about moving in ways that promote health, prevent injury, and nurture a connection between physical movement and mental awareness. Holistic movement encourages mindful, intentional motion, often integrating principles of body awareness, breathwork, and alignment. At Lithe we integrate pilates, yoga, hiking, cycling, swimming. It's a lifestyle choice that prioritises the full spectrum of health—physical, mental, and emotional.
