Follow your gut

Are you struggling with bloating, IBS, SIBO, constipation, food sensitivities, or a body that feels more reactive than most? You are not alone, and you are not too complicated to support.

I specialize in helping people with sensitive systems who often feel dismissed or overwhelmed by generic solutions. Many of my clients react more strongly to foods, supplements, or medications and need a practitioner who truly understands what it’s like to live in a hypersensitive body.

When we work together, I take extra care to pace protocols, adjust as needed, and honor your body’s signals, your own Gut Talk. My role is to translate those signals into a clear, manageable plan so you can feel safe, supported, and steadily move toward better health.

Using functional lab testing and in-depth assessments, we uncover the root causes of your symptoms and design a personalized plan that fits your biology, preferences, and lifestyle.

I work exclusively one-on-one and offer online consultations worldwide, so you can receive support wherever you live.

Why Work With Me?

I have been there. I know how disheartening it can feel to struggle with relentless digestive symptoms and poor mental health. I’ve faced these challenges myself, both mentally and physically, and I understand first-hand the frustration, confusion, and exhaustion that comes with feeling dismissed and overwhelmed. That experience fuels my commitment to be fully present for my clients at every step of your healing journey.

I don’t offer generic protocols. Instead, I listen closely, investigate thoroughly, and design a plan that respects your body’s unique needs. Each step is personalized, paced to your comfort, and adjusted as we go.

I bring both professional training and lived experience to our work together. My approach is informed by functional lab testing, evidence-based protocols, and years of clinical practice. You can see my credentials here, but what matters most is how we use that knowledge to create a plan that truly fits you.

If you are tired of quick fixes, guesswork, or feeling dismissed, this is a place to finally find clarity, compassion, and a path forward that works just for you.

Please note that I do not work with children or cancer patients.

Suspect You Might Have SIBO?

Let's Get to the Root of Your Gut Issues.

You're not alone. Many people experience digestive discomfort and struggle to find answers. If you suspect you might have SIBO, I'm here to help. I specialize in Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth treatment, even those challenging, chronic cases that seem to linger.

SIBO is a relatively new area of research, and exciting new discoveries are constantly emerging. I stay up-to-date on the latest findings, having been trained by Dr. Nirala Jacobi, known as "The SIBO Doctor," and closely following the work of Dr. Allison Siebecker and Dr. Mark Pimentel, among others. I am part of the qualified SIBO Practitioners.

The first step is to determine if SIBO is the culprit behind your digestive issues.There are a few ways to find out if you have SIBO. The simplest and most recommended method is to do an at-home SIBO Breath Test. I offer this service and can refer you to a reliable laboratory in your area, if needed.

It has been reported in various studies that up to 78% of individuals with IBS (Irritable Bower Syndrome) could in fact have SIBO.

Instead of investing in another program or trying more supplements, let's focus on understanding what's happening inside your unique gut. Together, we can uncover the root causes of your digestive issues and create a personalized plan to bring you lasting relief.
