Your gut health is unique to you
But it shouldn’t hold you back
I like to think of myself as a root-cause detective for the gut symptoms you’ve been told to ignore. If you’ve ever been told your bloating, reflux, constipation or diarrhoea is 'just in your head', I want you to know: it’s not. And it’s not something you just have to live with (just check out my praise section!).
I help clients get to the root of their digestive symptoms - whether that’s IBS, SIBO, H. Pylori, reflux, or gallbladder dysfunction (including thriving without a gallbladder). But gut issues rarely come alone. Many of the people I support are also navigating hormonal imbalances, perimenopause, thyroid issues, blood sugar instability, fatigue or weight changes – sometimes all at once.
Is there something else also affecting you?
Gut health isn’t just about digestion - it’s a reflection of how your whole system is functioning. When it’s not in sync, even small issues can start to impact other areas of health.

If you’re living with food intolerances or allergies, finding balance can feel challenging. Nutritional Therapy can help identify triggers, support gut health, and create a diet that works for you - reducing symptoms and improving long-term wellbeing. When the gut is supported and balanced, it’s often possible to carefully reintroduce some of the foods you’ve been avoiding, making eating more enjoyable and less restrictive.

A gallbladder removal can disrupt digestion in a way that many people don’t expect. I see digestive issues after this surgery so often in clinic, and it’s a personal obsession of mine- I love supporting people through it. Even if it feels overwhelming, there are absolutely steps you can take that make a tremendous difference to how you feel day-to-day.

I often work with people who have been prescribed PPIs - whether they need to take them long-term or want support to come off them. Working alongside your GP, this can absolutely be achieved. Please get in touch if this resonates—I’d be delighted to support you.

How nutrition can help
The right building blocks
As your body changes through the menopause, a Nutritional Therapist can identify the foods you need so you can get back to doing what you love.
Balancing oestrogen levels
Phytoestrogens are plant-based chemicals that can balance the effects of changing oestrogen levels. They’re found in lentils, beans, flaxseeds and soy beans to name just a few.
New research and findings
These help us understand more deeply how what we eat impacts not only our bodies, but how we feel and think too.
Balance and variety
Nobody wants to eat boring foods. A Nutritional Therapist like me can help you find a sustainable healthy diet that gives your body all it needs, and keeps you happy and satiated.
Menopause FAQs
-
Don’t worry, it’s a very natural stage of life. The menopause, or more accurately perimenopause, can last anything from two to 12 years until your last period.
During this time, your body goes through many chemical changes, with some hormone levels falling (progesterone) and some fluctuating (oestrogen). Often, the added stress at this time of life causes cortisol (the stress hormone) to rise. All of this can cause your body to become out of balance, which in turn, may lead to many of the menopause symptoms.
-
Not at all. Everybody’s experience of menopause is different. Some women have very few symptoms, whilst others have a rough time. Switching to a more healthy diet and lifestyle can help to restore the balance and fuel your body with the ingredients it needs.
-
Rebalancing your hormones naturally will help you feel more in control and more like yourself during perimenopause. You reach menopause itself when you have had no periods for 12 consecutive months (the average age for this is 51), and many women find these years to be amongst the most liberating and enjoyable of their lives.
