Ella Mills

Ella Mills is a renowned British entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker best known as the founder of the plant-based lifestyle brand, Deliciously Ella. As a speaker, Ella brings warmth, authenticity, and powerful personal insight to every stage she stands on. Her story of overcoming chronic illness and transforming that journey into a thriving business inspires audiences to take control of their health, pursue their passions, and approach life with purpose. With a calm yet energising presence, she speaks on topics including wellness, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the power of purpose-driven business.

Ella’s journey began during her university years when she was diagnosed with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), a debilitating condition that left her exhausted and unwell. Conventional treatments failed to bring relief, prompting her to turn to diet and lifestyle as a solution. Documenting her experiences online, she launched the Deliciously Ella blog in 2012, which quickly grew a loyal following. From this, she published her debut cookbook in 2015 — the UK’s best-selling debut cookbook that year — and began building her brand into a broader wellness platform. What began as a deeply personal journey evolved into a business with a bold mission: to make a plant-based lifestyle accessible and enjoyable for all.

In recent years, Ella has expanded Deliciously Ella into a household name. Alongside her husband and business partner, she has launched a successful line of plant-based food products available in over 10,000 stores, opened a plant-based restaurant in London, and developed a hugely popular app featuring over 600 plant-based recipes and wellness resources. In 2024, the brand was acquired by the global food group Hero, with Ella and her husband continuing in leadership roles as they expand internationally. She has also released seven best-selling cookbooks, with her latest, ‘Healthy Made Simple’, offering practical, everyday recipes for busy lifestyles.

Ella is regularly hired as a motivational speaker because she brings a rare combination of personal vulnerability, business acumen, and actionable inspiration. Her talks resonate deeply with audiences seeking balance, resilience, and purpose — whether they are entrepreneurs, corporate teams, or health-conscious communities. Ella’s ability to connect, uplift, and encourage transformation makes her a standout voice in the wellness and business worlds.
