Making Sense of Your Symptoms
Living with bloating, acid reflux or unpredictable digestion can feel exhausting.
For many people with reflux or heartburn, symptoms continue even after antacids or dietary changes. Even with a diagnosis, or when symptoms are labelled as IBS, many people are left feeling unsupported and confused.
Too often they’re told “everything appears normal” or at best they’re offered a low FODMAP or elimination diet, or medication to manage symptoms. Rarely are they given specific expertise, a comprehensive approach, or ongoing guidance.
It’s easy to start believing that nothing will truly work. Understanding why your gut symptoms persist is the first step toward lasting relief.
This begins with viewing your gut not in isolation, but as part of your whole self.
Expert Gut Health Specialist - Professor Tim Spector
A Different Way Forward
Chronic gut issues or persistent reflux rarely heal through restrictive diets, constant food avoidance, random supplements or medication alone. Your gut is closely linked to every other system in the body, especially the nervous, immune and hormonal systems. Because the brain and gut are so closely connected, reflux and heartburn are often influenced by stress, nervous system regulation, and how the gut and brain communicate, not just stomach acid or food alone.
My Mind Body Biome™ approach, shaped by almost a decade of experience, reflects the most effective way I’ve found to support people with long-standing reflux and gut symptoms. Combining Nutritional Therapy, Functional Testing and Mind Body support, I look at everything that influences digestion, not just what you eat, but how your body responds, adapts, and holds stress.
Addressing any one of the mind, body or microbiome can be hugely beneficial. But it’s when all three are considered that we begin to see meaningful, sustainable improvements in gut symptoms and overall well-being.
How it Works
While it can be helpful to think about the body as three distinct areas, it doesn’t operate as separate systems, so neither do I. Integrating these pillars requires an approach that works across the whole body, not in isolated parts. My work brings together practical nutritional therapy, lifestyle support and functional testing with a gentle, trauma-informed, mind–body perspective.
Renowned Trauma Specialist & Compassionate Inquiry Founder - Dr Gabor Maté
A note on Compassionate Inquiry & “Trauma Informed Care”
Long-standing gut issues are rarely just about food. They’re often shaped by stress, subconscious patterns, and the way emotions are held in the body.
Compassionate Inquiry, a therapeutic approach developed by Dr Gabor Maté, alongside nervous system support and trauma-informed care, creates space for these deeper influences to be gently explored.
Being trauma-informed means recognising that physical health, emotions and behaviour are shaped by past experiences. Trauma isn’t limited to major events, and this work is not about reliving the past or searching for something “wrong” with you.
Here, trauma is less about what happened and more about how the body learned to adapt during times that may have felt overwhelming or unsafe.
By incorporating Compassionate Inquiry and trauma-informed care within my work, the Mind Body Biome™ Method addresses what many other approaches overlook.
“Health begins in the gut - but healing begins in the nervous system.”
No quick fixes. No one-size-fits-all programs. This is structured, evidence-based support that addresses every layer of your health.

Quick Q & A
-
It’s completely understandable. Many people with reflux or IBS feel they’ve tried everything, every diet, every supplement, every specialist, yet still end up stuck in the same cycle of flare-ups and uncertainty. After years of being bounced between appointments, trying antacids, elimination diets or being told “everything looks normal”, it’s normal to feel discouraged.
My role is to help find the missing pieces of the puzzle.
As a registered Nutritional Therapist, I have access to advanced testing beyond what’s typically offered by a GP, which can reveal things often missed or dismissed in standard care. This work isn’t about blanket solutions. It’s about ongoing support, asking the right questions, and understanding what’s truly driving your digestive symptoms.
It’s far more than a generic meal plan or a ten-minute appointment. Meaningful change takes time, patience, curiosity and compassion.
-
The discovery call is a relaxed space to talk through what’s been happening for you, your symptoms, challenges, and what you’ve already tried. It’s less about me and more about understanding you, so we can begin to uncover what may be driving your digestive symptoms, including reflux or IBS flare-ups, or what’s been holding you back from feeling better.
If it’s helpful, I’ll offer some insight into where you’re at right now. From there, I’ll explain how I work, answer any questions you have, and together we’ll see whether it feels like the right fit. No pressure, just an open conversation about what could help you move forward.
-
Not always.
We begin by understanding your symptoms, health history and goals before deciding whether testing is necessary. Functional tests can offer deeper insight into digestive symptoms, including reflux or IBS, when the picture isn’t yet clear, but we only use them if they’ll genuinely support your progress, never as a requirement. -
Q1: What is the difference between a gut health dietitian and a gut health nutritionist?
A: Many people search for a “gut health dietitian” or “gut health nutritionist” when looking for support with IBS, bloating or reflux. In the UK, “dietitian” is a legally protected title, while “nutritionist” and “nutritional therapist” are regulated through professional bodies such as BANT and CNHC. Dietitians typically work in medical settings and focus on clinical testing, diagnosis and medical nutrition interventions.
A gut health nutritionist takes a more holistic approach, using personalised nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle medicine and functional testing to address the root causes of digestive issues. As a registered Nutritionist and Nutritional Therapist (BANT, CNHC), my work combines these tools to support long-term digestive health, including IBS and persistent reflux.
Q2: What is a gut health nutritionist, and how can they help with IBS, bloating or reflux?
A: A gut health nutritionist is a registered professional who specialises in digestive health. They support people with IBS, bloating, reflux and other ongoing gut symptoms by identifying food triggers, improving digestion and restoring microbiome balance.
As a qualified digestive health nutritionist, I use evidence-based strategies and functional gut testing, when appropriate, to understand what is driving your symptoms. A good gut health specialist looks beyond a simple meal plan and takes time to understand your history, lifestyle, stress patterns and the gut brain connection. This personalised and ongoing support is what makes long-term digestive improvement possible.
Q3: Why work with a nutritionist specialising in gut health compared to, or alongside, my GP?
A: Your GP plays an important role, especially in ruling out serious conditions. However, GP appointments are often brief and focused on symptom management. A gut health nutritionist has the time to look deeper into your history, lifestyle, diet and stress patterns to understand what is driving IBS, bloating or reflux.
While a GP may focus on diagnosis or medication, a gut health specialist provides personalised and holistic support that addresses underlying causes. The two approaches work well together. Medical care ensures safety, while nutrition therapy provides the depth needed for lasting digestive change.
Q4: Can I manage IBS, bloating or reflux on my own, or do I need a gut health nutritionist?
A: Many people try to manage IBS, bloating or reflux on their own by changing diet or using supplements, but results are often short lived or inconsistent. A gut health nutritionist brings expertise in identifying root causes, using science-based strategies and applying functional testing when helpful.
They also provide a personalised plan and ongoing support that adapts to your lifestyle, stress patterns and changing symptoms. This type of guidance addresses diet, microbiome balance, the gut brain connection and nervous system support. These are key factors in achieving long-term digestive resilience.
Q5: Do I need to have in-person consultations?
A: Not at all. Most clients work with me online and find it easier to stay consistent that way. As an online gut health nutritionist specialising in IBS, bloating and reflux, I offer the same depth of support that you would receive in person.
Whether you are looking for a London gut health nutritionist or prefer to work from home, the process is the same. We explore your diet, microbiome and nervous system to understand what is driving your symptoms. You receive a personalised plan, targeted nutrition for gut support and ongoing guidance, all with the convenience and comfort of home.
