Clinical care is individualised and may incorporate nutrition, lifestyle support, microbiome-directed therapies, herbal & nutritional medicine, evidence based prebiotic & probiotic prescription, nervous system support, and evidence-based functional testing where appropriate.

I also recognise that many people with chronic digestive symptoms have previously tried — or may still be following — highly restrictive diets, harsh herbal antimicrobials, or more generalised “gut protocols” without achieving lasting improvement.

Where appropriate, a “test, don’t guess” approach can help guide more sustainable, restorative, and individualised care. Consideration is also given to long-term microbiome health, nutritional adequacy, symptom patterns, lifestyle factors, stress, sleep, and medication use, all of which may influence symptom severity and overall gastrointestinal health.

Where appropriate, investigations such as hydrogen and methane breath testing, comprehensive microbiome analysis & intestinal permeability testing may be considered to help guide a more targeted and informed treatment approach.

IBS & SIBO/IMO

Persistent bloating, abdominal distension, excess gas, constipation, diarrhoea, alternating bowel habits, and reactions to certain foods can be incredibly disruptive — particularly when symptoms continue despite dietary changes, supplements, or previous treatment approaches.

For many people, these presentations are eventually labelled as IBS. However, in some cases, underlying contributors such as SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), IMO (Intestinal Methane Overgrowth — a term used to describe excess methane-producing archaea within the intestines), altered motility, microbiome disruption, nervous system dysregulation, or post-infectious changes may also be playing a role.

My clinical approach focuses on looking beyond symptom suppression alone and exploring the broader factors contributing to ongoing digestive dysfunction.

With a strong clinical focus on gastrointestinal and microbiome health, I support clients experiencing a wide range of complex digestive symptom presentations, including:
