IBS, IBD and Digestive Health Nutrition Coach – Training and Professional Background

My work is grounded in both lived experience and formal nutritional study.

For more than 25 years, I’ve been researching, learning, and applying nutritional science to understand the root causes of digestive disorders – particularly IBS.

For the past decade, I’ve translated that knowledge into practical coaching, workshops, online programmes, and retreats, helping clients reduce symptoms and rebuild confidence in their health.

Today I work as an IBS nutrition coach and digestive health practitioner, supporting people with long-standing gut issues to understand their symptoms and restore balance through practical nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Many of the people I work with have been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). I also support clients experiencing symptoms related to IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, and colitis, helping them use nutrition and lifestyle strategies to reduce triggers, support gut health, and improve their day-to-day quality of life alongside medical care.

I continue to study and deepen my knowledge so that my work remains evidence-informed, practical, and relevant.

Professional Focus

My work today focuses on practical IBS coaching and digestive health support, helping clients apply nutrition and lifestyle strategies in a way that is realistic, safe, and sustainable.

Through my programmes and coaching, I support people to:

understand the root causes of their digestive symptoms
reduce bloating, pain, and unpredictable bowel habits
rebuild confidence with food
improve gut microbiome balance
restore energy, clarity, and long-term digestive stability

Many of the people I work with have been struggling with IBS, food intolerances, bloating, chronic digestive discomfort, or inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease, colitis and diverticulitis for years before seeking support.

My approach focuses on practical dietary changes, structured coaching, and clear education, so clients feel confident managing their gut health long term.

Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions on IBS & Gut Health

What is IBS and what causes it?

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a common digestive condition that affects how the gut functions. It’s often triggered by a combination of gut-brain communication issues, stress, hormonal changes, and food sensitivities — not just diet alone.

Can IBS be cured naturally?

While there’s no single “cure” for IBS, symptoms can often be significantly reduced or eliminated through natural approaches like gut-brain regulation, lifestyle changes, targeted nutrition, and personalised coaching.

How can I calm my gut fast during a flare-up?

Gentle breathing, warm compresses, slowing down eating, and grounding techniques can help calm the gut-brain axis. Identifying your personal triggers is key to reducing flare-ups long term.

What foods are best for IBS relief?

There isn’t one perfect IBS diet, but many people benefit from gentle, low-irritant foods that are easy to digest. Finding your personal tolerance is more effective than strict elimination lists.

What’s the difference between IBS and food intolerance?

IBS affects how your gut functions, while food intolerance involves specific reactions to certain foods. Many people experience both, so a tailored approach works best.

Does stress make IBS worse?

Yes. Stress can trigger and intensify IBS symptoms by affecting gut motility and sensitivity. That’s why managing the gut-brain connection is just as important as food choices.

What is the fastest way to reduce bloating naturally?

Gentle movement, mindful breathing, hydration, and identifying trigger foods can ease bloating. Long-term relief comes from balancing digestion and calming the nervous system.

How long does it take to reset your gut?

Many people start to notice improvement in their gut within a few weeks when following a structured gut health plan. Everyone’s timeline is different — but clear steps lead to consistent progress.

Do I need to follow a strict diet to fix my IBS?

Restrictive diets can offer short-term relief but aren’t sustainable. A personalised approach focused on your triggers, gut-brain regulation, and lifestyle usually delivers better results.

Can IBS be managed without medication?

Yes. Many people manage IBS symptoms naturally through targeted coaching, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and lifestyle changes — often reducing or avoiding the need for medication.
