Gut Health: The Centre of Wellbeing
Issues like bloating, discomfort, constipation, loose stools, nausea, or reflux aren’t just inconvenient – they’re signs your gut isn’t functioning properly.
When the gut is out of balance, it can affect everything – energy, mood, sleep, and mental clarity. And because it’s so deeply interconnected with every system of the body, digestive imbalance can ripple outward, driving inflammation, hormone disruption, immune dysfunction, and weight changes.
That’s why gut health is at the centre of my work. It’s one of the most powerful starting points for healing and a foundation for lasting physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Beyond A Diagnosis or Symptom Relief
A medical diagnosis can be helpful, but it rarely comes with the tools or guidance needed to truly get better.
Medication or quick fixes may bring short-term comfort, but lasting change comes from understanding what’s really driving your symptoms.
My approach
My work goes beyond symptom management. Together, we explore potential root causes – such as food intolerances, stress, low stomach acid, microbial imbalance, inflammation, or toxin load – to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
When appropriate, I can also work alongside your current medical treatment, so your gut is supported while you follow your wider healthcare plan.
We’ll work to:
* Support digestion so it feels comfortable and functions optimally
* Soothe and gently repair the gut lining
* Bring your gut bacteria (microbiome) back into balance
* Identify and remove what’s irritating your system
* Give your body the nourishment it needs to heal and become resilient
Gut Health & Emotional Connection
The gut is connected to the brain and communicates through nerves, hormones, and signals that constantly reflect how you feel.
Stress, emotional tension, and early experiences that live on in the body affect this communication and can influence both digestion and overall health..
Mind Body Micro Biome bring together Nutritional Therapy with Compassionate Inquiry – a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté.
This process gently explores how unconscious patterns, stress responses, or suppressed emotions may be driving your symptoms.
I create a space where both body and mind are supported, helping you release emotions, reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm and build safety from within.
When the body feels safe, the nervous system regulates, digestion improves naturally, and true healing becomes possible.
This approach enables us to look at:
* Nervous system regulation
* Emotional wellbeing and stress resilience
* Lifestyle patterns that affect your healing
* Hormonal balance
Together, these create the conditions for both physical and emotional balance - the true foundation of wellbeing.
Functional Testing
In some cases, functional testing (such as a comprehensive stool analysis or SIBO test) may be recommended to provide deeper insight into what’s happening inside your body.
These results help guide a more targeted, evidence-based plan tailored to your unique needs.
