The Mind Body Biome™ Method

“A deeply 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 diets, supplements, and protocols with only partial relief.

Early in my work, I focused entirely on nutrition and testing. Many of my clients improved, but the biggest shifts happened when I began integrating the other layers that influence digestion: your nervous system, your emotional history, and the subtle ways your body holds past experiences.

Over time, it became clear that chronic gut symptoms are shaped not only by biology and the microbiome, but also by long-standing stress patterns and how the body has learned to adapt. Your gut does not exist in isolation and healing isn’t just about what you eat, but how your body functions and how your system responds.

Understanding the whole picture, including your nervous system, emotional landscape, and the body’s history creates the clarity needed for nutrition and testing to be applied in a way that supports lasting change.

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, history, and long-held patterns, often from long before gut symptoms even began.

My Mind Body Biome™ method supports gut healing by helping you feel calm, understood, and guided with clarity, while gently uncovering, processing and releasing the body’s deeper needs.

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 we look at your gut in isolation, it can feel like something is wrong with you, like your body is unpredictable, fragile, or failing. But when we widen the lens, and include your history, and what your body has carried to protect you, 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, to old wounds, to moments where you had to hold more than you were ever meant to carry. And when those signals are explored with curiosity, acknowledged, and gently welcomed, 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 giving your body the conditions it has been asking for, sometimes quietly, sometimes urgently, for years.

How It Looks In Practice

The Mind Body Biome™ Method, is not a program, 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 truly personalised, the focus of each area varies from person to person.

Some of my clients start primarily with nutritional therapy, testing, and symptom-focused support. Many choose to focus on the deeper emotional layers early on as they recognize the importance and because they feel ready.

Whether you're simply seeking a well-attuned, compassionate nutritionist, or you sense there’s more beneath your symptoms, this method allows me to meet you where you are.

Meet Your Gut Health Expert

I’m Amanda - a Registered Nutritional Therapist and somatic 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 trauma-informed, body-based 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 seen, supported, and understood. I meet you where you are, and we move together at a pace that feels safe for your body and your nervous system.

This isn’t about quick fixes or rigid protocols. It’s about building a relationship with your gut, gently unwinding what’s being held, and creating the conditions for change that can finally last.

How It Works

Here’s what the journey looks like:

Step 1: Your Free Introductory Call

A 15-minute chat 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 bi-weekly 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 (13 weeks or 17 weeks) and the depth of our work together, practical calls around testing, lifestyle and nutrition will be interspersed with deliberate somatic sessions designed to release emotional weight.

Step 6: Integration & Long-Term Strategy

In the final session, we consolidate your progress, map out your long-term plan, and ensure you feel confident continuing independently.

You’ll understand your body’s signals, know what supports your gut, and feel more regulated, stable, and connected to yourself.
