They can have us in pain and unable to truly enjoy ourselves with our partner/friends. They can affect our careers - literally putting a halt to our creative flare, our productivity & our ability to perform comes to a halt when that afternoon crash lands.
They can have us stressed out and always on the lookout for the nearest toilet “just in case” OR popping laxatives every day in the hope something will “shift it”. It’s a real sh*t show! (Sometimes literally!)
I get how debilitating gut issues can be and how exhausted you are all.the.time. I get how your gut literally consumes your life, your energy & your confidence. I too have laid on the bathroom floor in tears from the stomach cramps while everyone else out there is living their best life. It’s not fair.
Your ENTIRE world has shifted - your relationships are thriving, both with others and the relationship you have with yourself. You’re taking brave, bold action that would’ve felt freaking impossible only a few months ago…You’re sniffing out that next big promotion & you know deep down, you’re going to get it..because you’re finally back on form.
You’ve set clear solid boundaries at work & your boss is suddenly respecting your decisions way more than they use to..you creative flare is back, your ability to get shit done is pulsating through you cos for the first time in years your brain fog is gone…you’re clear thinking & maaaan does that feel good.
Things are working out far better than you ever could’ve imagined and you’re having “pinch me moments” on the reg.
“How can life be THIS good?” You ask yourself.
You close your eyes, place your hand on your heart, and feel into the gratitude and happiness that’s flooding your body.
It’s the end of the year… you’re reflecting back on your year. You can’t believe the difference from just a few months ago… you feel like a whole new person!
Not just physically, but mentally & emotionally…you feel at peace for the first time in years.
The gut issues that caused havoc for as long as you can remember are a thing of the past.. You feel like a new woman.
You forget how much you used to suffer, it’s become a thing of the past!
You finally got to the root cause of your gut issues, You’ve healed them and you can’t quite believe that you suffered with it for as long as you did.
You’ve never felt as confident as you do now. Real, deep, true confidence. You’re saying yes to plans without giving them a second thought. You feel amazing in your clothes. The bloat is NO MORE. You’re comfortable on the inside and out, and you know your body so well that you feel like soulmates.
I intuitively knew that I was on this trajectory of burnout…I'd heard people talk about it, but I buried my head in the sand telling myself I'll rest after the next big project.
I was chasing a dream of being a top dog, a director, having my name on a door…and for what?
For the demise of my health. For the creation of my gut issues. For my own misery.
That was my moment - as I lay in my hospital bed, my partner by my side - I said to him, "I can't do this anymore. I’m done, something needs to change."
I had just finished up producing a huge event with 20,000 attendees. It had been a 3 months worth of effort of 12-16 hour days and 14 days onsite.
I crawled in the door, completely exhausted, my symptoms worse than ever. I peeled the makeup off my face uncovering the cystic acne I had been trying to hide, the baggy shirt I had been wearing to try hide the bloat was thrown on the floor & I popped another acid blocker pill to cull the burn in my stomach, flinging myself into bed.
I drifted off for a few hours, half awake, half asleep but at around 4am that morning, I woke up alone in bed, screaming with the pain in my gut. It was as if someone had lit my insides on fire. I was in a ball, screaming. I managed to crawl downstairs and get myself into a taxi and to the emergency department where they gave me a whole heap of drugs to stop the spasms.
I went straight in for a gastroscopy, to find 6 stomach ulcers & when I turned to the doctors and said “I have 6 stomach ulcers - what!!” - he said “oh that’s normal, in fact it's not bad & they don’t know the reason for it”

An integrated root cause approach to healing, bringing in both the practical and emotional components. You’re not just left in the lurch with a test kit & some pills... cause let’s be real, you and I both know that’s going to do sweet FA for you if we’re not ultimately shifting who you are as a person alongside it.
Practically speaking, we organize a comprehensive GI MAP stool test, the gold standard in the industry, my team with 13 years of experience interpret the result & prep supplement suggestions. We then dive into personalized nutrition for you.
Then… the bit that most people miss out on - we look at the emotional components; We dive deep into your childhood, shadow work (aka the parts of you that you hide - your shame, anger, guilt etc), your stress levels aka your nervous system and your mindset.
Gut healing doesn’t happen unless we merge the two components & we’re here to bring you just that.
^^ the very real implications of being a high achiever right?
Your gut talks to your brain & your brain to your gut…so doing one without the other..it’s kinda pointless right?
Living consistently in your head, over analyzing, overthinking…we’ll unravel her here too..
When you're stressed out all the time, overthinking, overanalysing, your digestive system shuts TF down so...you balloon out, can’t lose weight, you feel sluggish, you get constipated, your periods are painful AF or you have to LEG it to the toilet right after a meal
Then there’s part 2… The juicy & most critical part.
That’s part one - we have to find what’s lurking & give it the middle finger through several months of cleansing & repairing your gut..with natural herbal supplements & combining this with personalized nutrition so that you’re no longer feeding the overgrowth of the bad bugs.
Detoxing, learning to fall in love with food that loves you back. That's phase one.
Parasites, mold, yeast, bacteria & whatever is lurking in your gut…are contributing to the onslaught of your never ending bloat, food sensitivities, acne, stomach pains, irregular bowels & more
You’ve cut out foods that you love, like gluten & dairy & maybe some veggies that cause you a flare up. You feel like you know your trigger food, so you just avoid it… But really you’re frustrated because it's not a long term solution.
You’re already eating ‘clean’, chicken & veg is your staple. You’re not a fan of junk food cos it makes you feel like sh*t but yet your weight fluctuates every day. You’re in this cycle of being like "What gives?! I’m eating well but nothing is shifting!"
You’ve tried diving into healthier habits but your work schedule has likely got in the way or your motivation has fallen off the face of the earth... So you’re ending up back at square one.
You’ve been to the GP, Gastroenterologist or even a Naturopath & yet you’re still not getting the relief you want from your symptoms. They’ve told you you just have ‘IBS’ LOL! You might get a few months of relief after that 2nd round of antibiotics or supplement protocol. You almost feel like you're a human lab rat at this point, frustrated AF that NO ONE can help you. You genuinely feel like giving up at this point & making peace with being that gal with gut issues.
Your chin, jawline & forehead break out & you’re thinking to yourself "WTF, why have I got adult acne?!" You often find yourself scrolling the gram, searching for a cream you can get your hands on that will magically banish the blemishes or going into a self loathing through spiral when you see others with their flawless skin & you think ‘ugh, lucky bitch, I wish I had that’
You’re feeling disconnected with yourself, stuck in your head all the time & you know that there’s something missing... but you’re not quite sure what it is. Your happiness has taken a dive & you feel like all you do is work, eat, sleep & repeat. You find yourself thinking, "Is this really what life is like for the next 60 years?!"
You spend a lot of your day in the toilet…either trying to empty those bowels or stop them from exploding. You're finding yourself having to schedule your day around your poops & you know every toilet in your shopping center… just in case.
You have mega food fear and a list of never ending food sensitivities that is growing by the day. It's almost as if one minute you're fine, then the next day you eat the exact same thing & you end up in crippling pain. You’re literally thinking "What the fk gives?!" so you end up cutting out more & more cos you don’t know what food is actually causing the issue
A bloated belly, almost as if someone has inflated a balloon in you after you eat so you always end up wearing baggy clothes to save the embarrassment of ‘looking 6 months pregnant’
