About Element

Recovery works best when it's structured.

Element exists to provide the conditions for recovery through pressurised oxygen, targeted light and neurological rest, delivered as part of a structured plan alongside your existing care team.

01 · Our approach

We don't treat the condition. We support the system around it.

Element is not a medical clinic. We don't diagnose, prescribe or promise outcomes. What we can do is provide the conditions for recovery through pressurised oxygen, targeted light, neurological rest and structured recovery protocols delivered in a calm, supportive environment.

Every protocol is designed to complement your existing care plan. Many of our clients continue care with, or are referred by, GPs, surgeons, chiropractors and allied health practitioners throughout their recovery journey.

Maya Horth, Co-Founder and Clinical Director at Element

Maya Horth is the Co-Founder and Clinical Director at Element Health Optimisation Centres. Originally trained as a Registered Senior Nurse, she brings more than 13 years of clinical experience across leading private hospitals in the UK, including The Portland Hospital, The Wellington Hospital and The London Clinic, with experience spanning Intensive Care, Neurology, and Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.

Her interest in recovery and health optimisation grew through personal experience navigating complex health challenges within her own family, leading her to explore more integrative and systems-based approaches alongside conventional care. This journey ultimately led to the creation of Element.

Maya's approach combines clinical experience with functional and integrative principles, focusing on the broader systems influencing recovery, resilience and overall wellbeing. She has completed additional training in Rhythmic Movement and Primitive Reflex Integration, with particular interests in functional neurology, chronic conditions, and environmental health factors including mould and toxin exposure.

Where appropriate, Maya also incorporates genetic and DNA insights into personalised recovery and optimisation plans. These structured protocols may combine lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation and Element's restorative modalities to support each client's individual goals and physiology.

Maya offers both focused consultations and comprehensive protocol planning sessions, available in person or via telehealth.
