The Mind Body Biome™ Method

“An integrative method that seeks to understand your gut - by understanding you.”

My Mind Body Biome™ approach is the result of nearly a decade spent helping people with long-standing gut symptoms, often after years of trying different diets, supplements, and protocols with only partial relief.

Early in my work, I focused primarily on nutritional and functional testing. Many clients improved, but the biggest and most consistent shifts happened when I began looking more closely at the other factors that influence digestion, including nervous system regulation and how the body responds to ongoing stress.

Over time, it became clear that chronic gut symptoms are shaped not only by biology and the microbiome, but also by lifestyle pressures and daily demands. Your gut does not exist in isolation. Lasting improvement does not result from just addressing what you eat, but how the body adapts to everyday life alongside targeted lifestyle support.

Understanding the whole picture, including your day-to-day habits, environment, and stress load, allows nutrition and testing to be applied in a way that is more precise, supportive, and sustainable.

Three Areas We Explore Together

The Mind-Body-Biome™ Method brings together nutritional therapy, digestive health, and the emotional landscape to create a truly integrated understanding of the body, one that recognises three key areas:

The gut doesn’t heal in isolation. It’s closely connected to your nervous system, hormonal system, and immune function. Because the gut and brain are in constant communication, patterns in how you respond to stress and emotion influence how your body functions, and how you digest, absorb nutrients, and experience symptoms. Exploring these three areas together allows nutrition and functional testing to be used and applied appropriately.

This approach is not about having the answers, following a programme, or applying a standardised protocol. It’s about having multiple lenses through which to ask the right questions and reveal the missing pieces of the puzzle - and how to fit them together in a way that the body understands.

Does This Sound Familiar?

• Your symptoms shift with stress - and no amount of food rules or supplements creates lasting change.

• You feel stuck in a cycle of tension, overwhelm, or burnout that your gut seems to react to.

• You’ve tried focusing on diet alone, but deep down you sense there’s more going on beneath the surface.

If so, you’re not alone - you’re not broken, and you’re not doing anything wrong.

I’ve guided hundreds of people who felt confused, dismissed, or stuck in a cycle that felt impossible to break. They believed their body was failing them, when in fact it was communicating, responding to stress and overload.

My Mind Body Biome™ method supports gut healing by helping you feel calm, understood, and guided with clarity, while gently addressing the patterns of stress and tension that can affect digestion over time.

Imagine If…

• You woke up feeling grounded and at ease in your body - not anticipating discomfort, tension, or bloating.

• You knew exactly what nourishes your gut, without second-guessing or restricting yourself.

• You could enjoy food and social occasions with ease, moving through your day with more energy and emotional stability - instead of your gut dictating everything.

• You had a more regulated nervous system - more ease, more softness, more space to breathe.

All of this becomes possible when we work with your mind, your body, and your microbiome together.

A New Way of Understanding Your Body

When the gut is viewed in isolation, it can start to feel like something is wrong with you, or that your body is unpredictable or fragile. But when we widen the lens to include your health history and how your body has adapted to ongoing demands, something shifts.

You start to see that your symptoms aren’t random.
They’re not personal failings.
They’re not evidence that you’re “too sensitive” or “not trying hard enough.”

They’re signals, stories, invitations.

Your body has been responding to its world, to pressure, to expectations. And when those signals are explored with curiosity, acknowledged, they begin to soften. Your system starts to feel safer, and your gut begins to respond differently.

This is not about fixing you.
It’s about understanding you.
It’s about understanding what your body needs, and creating the conditions it has been signalling for over time.

Who This is For

  
          This approach is right for YOU if
        
You want practical guidance, not restrictive or unrealistic diet rules.
You’re looking for clarity on what drives your symptoms.
You’re always thinking about what you can and can’t eat.
Your symptoms often worsen with stress or overwhelm.
You’re open to exploring more than just diet alone.
You want to understand your body, not mask symptoms temporarily.

  
        This probably isn’t for you if…
      
You’re looking for a quick fix, protocol, or one-size-fits-all approach.
You want support that focuses on food alone.
You don’t feel any link between stress, lifestyle or emotions and your gut health.
You’re looking for checklists and meal plans rather than depth of support.
You only have the capacity for surface-level care with occasional check-ins.
You’re not in a position to prioritise your health right now.

How It Looks In Practice

The Mind Body Biome™ Method is not a programme, its not a set of rules. Its the integration of four approaches. These are not separate sessions in themselves; they are the foundational influences that shape how I understand your symptoms and guide your care.

Because this work is fully personalised, the starting point can look different for each person. Some clients begin with nutrition, testing, and symptom-focused lifestyle support. Others are already aware that stress, overload, or long-term pressure is influencing how their body is responding.

Either way, the same depth of care applies. I meet you where you are, while holding the wider picture in mind, so your plan can evolve based on what you need. For many people, this means first allowing the body to settle, rather than forcing change before your system is ready.

Meet Your Gut Health Expert

I’m Amanda - a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Compassionate Inquiry practitioner in training. My work is grounded in the belief that gut healing isn’t just about fixing symptoms, but about understanding the whole person they belong to.

I combine digestive health expertise with body-based nervous system support to help make sense of long-standing patterns in the body, and why symptoms can persist even after years of “doing all the right things.”

What matters most to me is that you feel listened to, supported, and clearly guided. I meet you where you are, and we move at a pace that feels steady and manageable for your body and overall system.

This isn’t about quick fixes or rigid protocols. It’s about understanding your digestion more fully, reducing the factors that keep symptoms going, and creating the conditions for change that can genuinely last.

My programmes are intentionally high-touch and long-form. All clients begin with weekly 1:1 sessions, followed by regular ongoing support across 3, 4 or 6 months. Depending on the programme you choose, this includes a minimum of 7 to 15 hours of direct practitioner contact time, alongside between-session support. This is made up of a minimum of 8–14 follow-up calls plus an initial consultation, depending on programme length.
Nervous system regulation is supported within every session, not as a separate add-on, and the frequency of contact is part of the treatment itself. This allows symptoms to be addressed as they arise, plans to be adjusted in real time, and change to be integrated safely rather than rushed.
This structure is designed for complex, stress-sensitive gut conditions where short programmes or infrequent check-ins are often not enough.

How It Works

Here’s what the journey looks like:

Step 1: Your Free Introductory Call

A 30-minute clarity call to understand your symptoms, your goals, and whether the Mind Body Biome™ Method is the right fit for you.

You’ll get clarity on your next steps - no pressure, just support.

Step 2: Your Initial Consultation (60-75 minutes)

We dive into your full health story: digestion, stress patterns, life history, emotions, habits, and physiology.

You’ll leave this session with a clearer understanding of the key factors influencing your symptoms, along with a considered path for further exploration and practical steps you can begin right away.

Step 3: Your Personalised Plan

You’ll receive a tailored plan integrating nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, supplement guidance (if needed), somatic tools, and nervous-system support.

This plan evolves with you - gently, safely, and at a pace your body can hold.

Step 4: Regular Support & Review Sessions

We meet weekly initially, and progress to fortnightly at a pace that feels best:

review what’s shifting
adjust your plan
explore emotional or nervous-system patterns
support resilience and clarity

This ongoing support ensures you feel grounded and guided throughout the process.

Step 5: Compassionate Inquiry

Depending on your plan (3, 4 or 6 months) and the depth of our work together, practical sessions focused on testing, lifestyle and nutrition will be interspersed with deliberate somatic sessions designed to settle the nervous system and stabilise your system as a whole.
