Conditions treated
Gut symptoms that deserve real answers.
I specialise in the full spectrum of digestive disorders — from functional conditions like IBS to inflammatory diseases like Crohn's. Every treatment plan is built around you.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — digestive conditions. It's characterised by a cluster of symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits (diarrhoea, constipation, or both) that significantly impact quality of life.
My approach
I take a thorough approach to IBS — identifying your specific triggers, assessing gut microbiome health, and ruling out underlying contributors like SIBO or food intolerances. Treatment combines dietary strategies (including low-FODMAP where appropriate), targeted herbal medicine, and lifestyle interventions.
Common symptoms
- Abdominal cramping and pain
- Diarrhoea, constipation, or alternating
- Bloating and gas
- Urgency or incomplete evacuation
- Symptoms worsened by stress or certain foods
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
IBD encompasses Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis — chronic inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract that require careful, long-term management. While medical treatment is essential, naturopathic support can play a powerful complementary role.
My approach
I work alongside your gastroenterologist and medical team to provide evidence-informed naturopathic support — focusing on reducing inflammation, supporting mucosal healing, optimising nutritional status, and building resilience to reduce flare frequency and severity.
Common symptoms
- Chronic diarrhoea, often with blood or mucus
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Fatigue and unintended weight loss
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Flares and periods of remission
Chronic Constipation
Chronic constipation is far more than an inconvenience — it affects energy, mood, skin health, and the body's ability to eliminate toxins effectively. It's often a sign of deeper imbalances in gut motility, microbiome health, or hormonal function.
My approach
I investigate the root causes of your constipation — from dietary fibre and hydration to gut motility, thyroid function, and microbiome composition. Treatment is targeted and practical, using dietary changes, herbal medicine, and evidence-based supplementation to restore your body's natural rhythm.
Common symptoms
- Fewer than 3 bowel movements per week
- Hard, dry, or difficult-to-pass stools
- Straining or incomplete evacuation
- Abdominal bloating and discomfort
- Fatigue and low energy
Bloating & Digestive Discomfort
Bloating is one of the most common gut complaints — and one of the most frequently dismissed. Persistent abdominal distension, gas, and pressure are often signals of underlying imbalances including dysbiosis, food intolerances, SIBO, or impaired digestive enzyme function.
My approach
I take a systematic approach to bloating — investigating potential triggers through detailed history-taking and functional testing where indicated. Treatment addresses the specific drivers of your bloating, whether that's microbiome imbalance, food sensitivities, enzyme insufficiency, or motility issues.
Common symptoms
- Abdominal distension after eating
- Excessive gas and flatulence
- Abdominal pressure or tightness
- Discomfort that worsens throughout the day
- Sensitivity to specific foods or food groups
