I support adults in uncovering the root causes behind gut and mental health struggles so they can finally feel like themselves again.

And before anything else, I want you to know that I get it because I’ve lived it.

For years, I lived with relentless gut issues – bloating, constipation, discomfort and an equally relentless mind.  I was always overwhelmed, unable to focus and constantly anxious.  My brain never switched off.

In my twenties, sugar, coffee, alcohol and stress were part of my daily fuel.  I couldn’t imagine functioning without them but deep down, I knew I wasn’t truly coping.

Everything began to shift when I discovered the power of nutrition, gut healing and lifestyle changes.  Bit by bit, I began to feel clearer, calmer and more in control of my health.

When ADHD became part of the public conversation, I recognised myself in those stories.  And I realised so much of what had helped me heal my gut was also helping me manage my mind.

That personal journey is what drives the work I do today.  Because I know firsthand what it’s like to feel like nothing’s working and I also know that change is possible when we treat the root causes, not just the symptoms.

My Signature Program

Mind Your Gut Program

A 4-month program tailored to your symptoms and health history

My Approach

I take the time to understand the full picture of your health. Together, we piece together the “why” behind your symptoms using a functional, root-cause approach.

I specialise in:

  • Gut issues like bloating, IBS, IBD, constipation

  • Mental health challenges – depression, anxiety, ADHD, fatigue

It’s not a one-size-fits-all model.  This is a collaborative, personalised process that explores diet, nutrition and lifestyle strategies backed by the latest functional testing.
