The Problem
Gut symptoms don't just affect your digestion.
They affect your energy, your confidence, your exercise, your work - and your life.
And for some people, the longer they go unresolved, the more entrenched the cycle becomes.
Gut issues are common. Finding answers is not.
~ 30%
of Australians experience IBS symptoms at some point
50,000+
gallbladder removal surgeries are performed in Australia each year
>50%
of people with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms have no abnormal findings on routine testing
Sound familiar?
Many people seeking support for persistent digestive symptoms have already tried several approaches.
They may have changed their diet, removed foods such as gluten, dairy or FODMAPs, taken probiotics or digestive enzymes, or sought advice from healthcare practitioners. Some have received a diagnosis, while others have not. Yet symptoms such as bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea and food reactions can persist.
For some, digestive symptoms continue long after gallbladder removal surgery.
Persistent gut symptoms are often complex and may be influenced by factors including digestive function, microbial balance, gut-brain signalling, medication use, bile flow and gut motility.
When these factors are considered in isolation, important pieces of the picture can be missed.
The Gut Rewire Protocol was developed to take a broader approach, investigating factors that may be contributing to symptoms and using that information to guide personalised recommendations.

That's why I created the
Gut Rewire Protocol
The Gut Rewire Protocol combines clinical investigation with practical coaching to give you a clear plan and the right support to put it into practice.

-
Avoiding more and more foods

The Method
A 4-pillar framework built on naturopathic principles and comprehensive assessment
1
RESET
Create a strong foundation
The initial focus is on reducing irritation, settling active symptoms, and supporting the gut lining to create a stronger foundation for the work ahead.
-
Personalised testing to understand what's driving your symptoms
-
Targeted support to soothe irritation and discomfort
-
Support gut lining integrity and barrier function
2
REBUILD
Strengthen digestive capacity
The focus then shifts to supporting digestion, nutrient breakdown and nutrient absorption.
-
Support stomach acid and digestive enzyme function
-
Promote healthy bile production and flow, particularly important after gallbladder removal
-
Support liver function and nutrient metabolism
3
REBALANCE
Support a balanced gut ecosystem
The next focus is on supporting the microbiome, gut-brain signalling, & immune function.
-
Investigate factors that may influence microbial balance and support microbiome diversity.
-
Support stress resilience through the gut-brain connection
-
Support healthy immune function
4

Meet Your Practitioner
Gut health is about more than the gut.
As both a Clinical Naturopath and Registered Psychologist, I bring two disciplines that are rarely combined in clinical practice: functional investigation and evidence-based behaviour change.
This approach allows consideration of not only digestive health, but also the stress responses, behavioural patterns and nervous system factors that may influence symptoms and day-to-day wellbeing.
Prior to becoming a naturopath, I spent more than 25 years working in organisational development, helping individuals and organisations understand complex challenges and create sustainable change.
Today, I apply that same systems-based thinking and problem-solving approach to gut health.
FAQs
Q: I've had my gallbladder removed. Is this program suitable for me? Yes, in fact, most of my clients have had their gall bladder removed. We include a dedicated bile flow support protocol and gallbladder guide specifically for post-cholecystectomy clients.
Q: I'm on long-term medication (PPIs, immunosuppressants). Can I still join? Absolutely. I work alongside your existing medical care, not against it, and advocate for you across your healthcare team.
Q: Why not just take supplements or follow a gut diet? Without knowing what's actually driving your symptoms, supplements and elimination diets are guesswork. We test first, then tailor every recommendation to your biology.
Q: Do you work on the gut-brain connection? Yes. Digestive symptoms and the nervous system are closely connected. Stress physiology, hypervigilance, and symptom anxiety can all influence gut function.
Q: How much time do I need each week? The program is designed around real, busy lives. Your plan is built around your schedule, not the other way around.
Q: Is this a restrictive protocol? The goal is not long-term restriction. Where possible, the focus is on improving tolerance, flexibility, and confidence around food.
Your gut has been trying to tell you something.
Let's find out what.
The first step is a conversation. On a discovery call, we'll explore your symptoms, your health history and goals, to determine whether the Gut Rewire Protocol aligns with your needs.
Applications are reviewed individually, with a limited number of clients accepted for each program intake.
