Bloating, IBS and gut problems that won't go away — there's usually a reason.
If you've been told your gut symptoms are just stress, or had tests come back 'normal' while still feeling awful every day — you're not imagining it. I help women find and address the real root causes.
Does this sound familiar?
Bloating that appears even when you've eaten 'well'
Stomach cramps, urgency or unpredictable bowels
Diagnosed with IBS but given no real answers
Constipation that flares up under stress
Food reactions that seem to change week to week
Skin flare-ups linked to what you eat
Fatigue and brain fog that follows meals
Feeling like your gut controls your whole day
Why gut symptoms are so often misunderstood
IBS is one of the most common diagnoses in the UK — and one of the least useful. It describes what's happening (your bowel is irritable) without explaining why.
The root causes of chronic gut symptoms are often a combination of things: an imbalance in gut bacteria, undetected food sensitivities, low stomach acid, intestinal inflammation, or the way your nervous system and gut communicate — especially under stress.
When stress and emotional load are part of the picture, gut symptoms almost always are too. The gut-brain connection is real, and it's central to how I work.
How I approach gut health differently
look at the whole picture — your symptoms, your history, your stress, your sleep, not just what you eat
I use functional testing where appropriate, including gut microbiome analysis, to get objective data rather than guessing
I consider the nervous system and trauma history — because chronic stress rewires the gut-brain connection in ways that diet alone won't fix
I work with you over time — real gut healing takes months, not weeks, and I'll support you throughout

Common Questions
-
Yes. An IBS diagnosis tells you what's happening but not why. My work is about understanding the underlying causes — whether that's gut bacteria imbalance, food sensitivities, stress responses, or a combination — and addressing them with a personalised plan.
-
Not necessarily. Testing can provide really useful objective information, but it's not always the right starting point. We'll discuss whether it makes sense for you during our initial call.
-
Most clients notice meaningful changes within 6–8 weeks, though significant gut healing typically takes 3–6 months. Chronic symptoms that have built up over years rarely resolve overnight — but with consistent support, they do resolve.
-
Very different. Elimination diets treat symptoms by removing foods. My approach looks for the reason your body is reacting in the first place and addresses that — so you end up eating more variety, not less.
