"You've been told it’s all in your imagination? It’s not.
Your body isn’t broken — it’s communicating."
Specialist in Gut–Mind Therapy™ & IBS Hypnotherapy
I help teens and adults reduce IBS symptoms and gut-focused anxiety by restoring healthy communication between the brain and digestive system.
As a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist specialising in Psychogastroenterology, Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy, and evidence-based Mind–Gut Therapy™, I integrate:
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Gut-focused hypnotherapy
• Mindfulness-based strategies
• Neuroscience-based nervous system tools
This approach helps ease:
✔ IBS & functional gut disorders
✔ Gut anxiety, urgency, and bathroom fears
✔ Bloating, nausea, reflux, and cramping
✔ Stress-related digestive flare-ups
✔ School or work-triggered stomach symptoms
By retraining the gut–brain axis, the body learns to respond differently to stress, worry, and daily pressure — so the nervous system can return to safety and the gut can calm.
Support for Gut Anxiety in Teens & Adults
Many people experience gut symptoms without clear medical findings. These can show up as:
• Morning nausea before school or work
• Urgency or bathroom anxiety
• Stomach pain linked to stress
• Performance and social anxiety affecting digestion
Whether your symptoms are physical (the gut reacts) or mental (the mind won’t switch off), the gut–mind connection is often at play.
Through Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, you’ll learn how to:
✔ Calm the nervous system
✔ Reduce digestive sensitivity
✔ Build confidence and control
✔ Restore natural digestive rhythm
✔ Feel at ease in daily life again
No restrictive diets. No medication. Just science-backed retraining of how your gut and brain communicate.

How The Gut-Mind Connection Works
For many people, IBS, gut-related stress, or body tension are closely linked to anxiety, overthinking, or chronic stress, a cycle known as the Gut–Mind Connection.
If you’ve tried diets, supplements, or medications and still feel ruled by unpredictable symptoms, this approach offers something different.
Rather than targeting the gut alone, we work on the communication loop between your brain, nervous system, and digestive tract, the real driver behind ongoing discomfort and unpredictability.
Using a personalised blend of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy, and mind–body regulation techniques, we retrain the gut–brain axis, calm the nervous system, and rebuild trust in your body.
You May Recognise These Patterns
• Overthinking or mental fatigue
• IBS, gut anxiety or digestive issues
• Diverticular flare-ups or inflammation sensitivity
• Bloating, urgency, or unpredictable digestion
• Anxiety-related appetite changes or food avoidance
These aren’t separate issues, they’re part of the same stress loop linking your brain and body.
Your gut and brain are in constant communication. This connection, known as the gut–brain axis is a two-way pathway explaining why stress and thought patterns directly affect digestion.
When stress builds, the gut–brain connection becomes overstimulated, often showing up as racing thoughts, gut discomfort, or total exhaustion.
Clinical research shows that Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy can significantly reduce IBS and stress-related gut symptoms by retraining this communication pattern.
The Gut–Mind Therapy™ approach integrates CBT, Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy, and neuroscience-informed tools to help regulate stress, reduce sensitivity, and restore calm, balanced communication between mind and body.

About Me
At 48, I sold everything and moved to the UK with my husband and son — ready to begin again.
But on our first day, the funding for my new business fell through. Overnight, everything changed.
Under the stress, my body started reacting before I realised how anxious I was — my gut issue flared up, my energy dropped, and I felt constantly on edge.
That’s when I discovered something powerful: even in chaos, five minutes of focused reset can calm the body and clear the mind.
Today, I use that discovery — The 5-Minute Magnet™ Method — to help people break the stress loop between mind and body, restore clarity, and feel in control again.
Professional Background
My own experience with gut–mind challenges drove me to specialise in evidence-based methods that create real, lasting change. I integrate cognitive science, nervous system regulation, and practical tools from gut–brain research to help both teens and adults feel safe and in control again.
I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist (Level 5, NCFE) and trained in Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy for IBS and functional gut disorders. My approach combines CBT, mindfulness-based strategies, and hypnotherapy with the latest understanding of the gut–brain axis.
My practice is structured, compassionate, and practical — helping clients reduce symptoms, build confidence, and regain quality of life in the moments that matter most: school days, work, sports, social life, and daily routines.

“What Is Your Gut Trying to Tell You? And Are You Listening?”
Your mind is brilliant, but when it’s overworked, your body often speaks up first.
Maybe it’s tension in your stomach, a sudden tightness in your chest, or a wave of fatigue that arrives out of nowhere. These aren’t random, they’re your body’s way of communicating stress.
This 2-minute quiz reveals your unique Gut–Mind Stress Type, showing how your thoughts, emotions, and gut responses interact. Each type has its own strengths, sensitivities, and patterns when stress builds.
Once you understand your Gut–Mind pattern, you can start retraining that connection, calming your body, clearing your mind, and restoring balance from the inside out.
