Understanding the symptoms is just the beginning.

Getting to the root cause is where healing begins.


At the Centre of Digestive Health, we take a deeper look at the symptoms that many people have been told to simply “live with.”

Digestive issues are often dismissed or misunderstood, yet they are powerful signals of imbalance in the body—particularly in the gut microbiome.

From IBS and reflux to SIBO and beyond, we specialise in uncovering the root causes that are often hidden beneath the surface.

When we treat the gut, we don’t just improve digestion—we help restore balance to the nervous system, the immune system, and your overall sense of wellbeing.

IBS

We support clients living with both diagnosed and undiagnosed IBS, exploring root causes that may have been missed.

  • Alternating constipation and diarrhoea
  • Chronic bloating and abdominal discomfort
  • Urgency or incomplete bowel movements
  • Gas and cramping after meals
  • Food sensitivities (e.g., FODMAPs, histamines)
  • Post-infectious IBS following gastro or food poisoning
  • Stress-related flares and nervous system dysregulation
  • Gut-brain axis dysfunction impacting digestion and mental health

SIBO

A frequently missed cause of IBS-like symptoms, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is central to many chronic digestive complaints.

  • Upper abdominal bloating shortly after eating
  • Belching, nausea, or reflux-like symptoms
  • Constipation or diarrhoea-dominant SIBO (or mixed type)
  • Intolerance to prebiotics and fermented foods
  • Fatigue and brain fog linked to meal timing
  • Weight fluctuations and nutritional deficiencies
  • Histamine intolerance and systemic inflammation
  • Recurring SIBO due to motility issues or adhesions

GERD | REFLUX

We approach reflux from a root-cause lens, exploring the microbiome, motility, digestive secretions and structural factors.

  • Burning sensation in the chest or throat
  • Sour taste in mouth or regurgitation
  • Chronic cough, hoarseness, or sore throat
  • Reflux worse when lying down or after meals
  • Overuse of PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) without long-term relief
  • Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) masquerading as excess acid
  • Impact of stress, vagus nerve function, and food triggers
  • Underlying infections (e.g., H. pylori) and gut dysbiosis

OTHER ISSUES

Because the gut is central to whole-body health, we support clients across a range of interconnected concerns:


  • Leaky gut (intestinal permeability)
  • Gut-related skin conditions (eczema, acne, rosacea, dermatitis)
  • Food intolerances and immune reactivity
  • Autoimmune conditions with gut involvement (e.g., Hashimoto’s, IBD)
  • Anxiety, depression, or irritability linked to gut dysfunction
  • Hormonal imbalances influenced by microbiome disruption
  • Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation
  • Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and brain fog
  • Post-antibiotic or post-infectious gut dysregulation
  • Metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension

Personalised care for gut and whole-body health

The 12-month

Gut Health Program

Personalised to your biology. Adapted to your progress.

A structured 12-month care program for people experiencing persistent, recurring or complex symptoms — including concerns that may extend beyond digestion.

Rather than receiving a plan and being left to manage it alone, you have ongoing practitioner support throughout each stage of your care.

Your program includes

  • A personalised, microbiome-informed care plan
  • Regular live practitioner support throughout the week
  • Guidance adapted to your individual progress
  • Private one-to-one care when needed
  • A searchable member library of resources and recorded sessions
  • Ongoing support for up to 12 months
Pay in full

The world-class standard.

Explore the Gut Health Program

Progress tracked across 19 symptoms spanning digestive and whole-body health.

Because progress is rarely linear, the program is designed to track changes over time and adapt care as your symptoms, responses and needs evolve.
