Elle Halliwell

Elle Halliwell is an Australian writer, entrepreneur and wellness advocate.

Having fostered a successful career as one of the country's favourite showbiz and fashion commentators - reporting entertainment and lifestyle news via the likes of The Daily and Sunday Telegraph, Nova Entertainment and Channel Nine - in 2016 Elle’s life changed forever when in the space of 48 hours she was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer and discovered she was pregnant with her first child.

In 2017 she documented her triumph over adversity and decade-long battle with anxiety in her memoir, A Mother’s Choice, which is published by Allen & Unwin. She is now mum to a boy named Tor, and hopes that sharing her journey will change the conversation around mental health and living with chronic illness.

She is an ambassador for The Cancer Council and the Leukaemia Foundation and is regularly invited to deliver inspiring keynote talks at schools and corporate events around the country covering topics such as overcoming adversity, managing anxiety, healthy living and the joys and complexities of motherhood.

Elle is also an experienced Master of Ceremonies, having hosted events for Vogue Australia, Olympus, The Australian Turf Club, Myer, Bras ‘N’ Things and MTV Australia among others.

Health and wellbeing has always been a passion of Elle’s and she is now a health coach, herbalist, Integrative Natural Health (naturopath) practitioner and auricular therapist. In 2020 she launched Auricle Healing, a wellbeing company which was the first to launch luxe gold and silver acupressure seeds into the Australian consumer market.

She is a passionate advocate for organic products and promoting an environmentally-friendly, low-tox lifestyle.
