My doctors told me I would live with digestive issues forever. But I took my health in my own hands and proved them wrong.
The cause of IBS is different for everyone
I have helped hundreds of clients identify the root cause of their issues, using testing, supplementation and lifestyle support to resolve their complaints.
I also work with the subconscious mind, using hypnosis to address subconscious stressors and healing blocks. This has made a big difference for many of my clients.
The testing I offer is the GI Map (stool test), the SIBO lactulose breath test, and the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test that uses hair samples to help balance adrenals, thyroid, energy and minerals.
IWe can work together in many different ways: 4-months gut transformational programs, second opinion sessions, or single testing consults.
I meet you where you are at. Healing should not be stressful, perfectionism doesn’t belong here.
Below are a few root causes of digestive issues that I work with:
- Leaky gut and inflamed immune system
- Pathogen overgrowth (SIBO, candida, h. Pylori, parasites)
- Adrenal dysfunction, thyroid imbalance and blood sugar issues
- Food allergies and nutritional deficiencies
- Toxicity, sluggish liver or heavy metals/mold toxicity
- Bacterial dysbiosis in the large intestine
- Nervous system dysregulation from chronic stress or trapped trauma
I help with mood issues, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, bloating, gut and body pain, skin issues, constipation, diarrhea, autoimmune conditions and GERD/reflux.
Why I do what I do and what I’ve learned.
Having severe digestive issues, that were diagnosed as IBS, motivated me to make hard but needed change to my life to heal my body and mind. Having alarming digestive distress, without good medical help was the best and worst thing that happened to me. I realized I was the only that could heal myself. I was in charge of my body, life and mind. We all want easy solutions, but it would have robbed me of important life lessons. I would not have been able to clarify my priorities and live a life that sustained me.
I did the “impossible” and healed my gut for good. I’ve been free of digestive symptoms for nearly 20 years. A desire to help others came out of it.
As a result, I’ve deeply studied the body, gut and mind so I can help people get their lives back, just like I did. I am so thankful to witness so many healing story. I share my healing stories. And many of my clients have shared their experiences here.
The road to recovery is different road for everyone, but it is always a worthwhile journey.
Health issues are great catalysts for growth and doing uncomfortable things. We have the perspective to examine what does and doesn’t work for us in life. And what programs, rule and expectations we want to let go of. The journey to health is a journey back to self.
It is not easy out there. There’s a lot of information to sift through from people with mixed intentions. Finding what is right for your body is not easy. You may have taken some wrong turns, hit walls, and gotten lost. But, learning what doesn’t work brings you closer to what does.
I suffered with life-disrupting symptoms from leaky gut, yeast, food reaction and bacterial overgrowth. It caused bloating, constipation, migraines, acid reflux, rashes, mood swings and fatigue. And I was not ok with “managing” my symptoms for the rest of my life.
When you’re committed to healing, you’re a superheater. The road leads to eating your favorite foods, traveling, socializing and feeling good in your body again.
This is YOUR heroes journey. Take time for yourself. Invest in your health. Find the right guides that make you feel supported.
I hope you’ll find some useful guidance here. I teach about the biome, subconscious mind, mineral balancing, diet, gut infections, hypnosis, mindset and testing. I hope you can find something to keep you going.
I believe the solution is already inside of you. You just need to remove the barriers to healing (ie: inflammation, fight or flight, infections, toxins, lack of self care) so your body can do what it was designed to do, bring you back to balance.

Mind Body Rewire: Mineral Balancing & Subconscious work
Mineral testing measures the health status, resilience and functioning of body systems including adrenals, thyroid, nervous system, immune system, mitochondria and toxic load.
It's common to launch into an antimicrobial or killing protocols, when their body is not ready for it. Most people are too physically and emotionally burned out to heal. This is not a problem if you take a bit of prep time to get your body ready for healing.
The mind body package does foundational work to get the body ready for healing. And makes any protocol easier to tolerate and more successful.
This program goes deep into the underlying conditions in the body that allowed gut infections, overgrowth and inflammation to flourish. And optimizes the body's healing ability.
This test measures how much stress the body is under both from physical and psychological causes so we can work as deeply as possible. Allow deeper healing and repair that won't result in future flares or relapses.
This was the only test I took 20 years ago to completely repair my digestive system from severe IBS.
Includes:
- Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) test to measure body’s healing systems (adrenals, thyroid, nervous system, mitochondria, immune system and toxic load).
- One hour consult to review health history form, go over past testing and do a deep dive into lifestyle, habits, stressors and diet.
- One hour test result analysis to see the whole health picture and create a plan to balance it. We address deficiencies, toxicities, stressors and make crucial shifts to rebalance the system. A balanced system heals itself.
- One hour long session using subconscious rewiring techniques to tackle blocks to healing, anxiety, food fear or get you unstuck.
- Two half hour check-ins to stay on track, measure progress and make adjustments.
- One HTMA retest done within 6 months of starting the program
- One 45 minute test review for retest
- Plenty of support in between sessions to ask questions, stay clear and on track.
- A deep dive into whole person healing that goes beyond supplements. A collaborative process where you become your own self healer with my help.
Lab testing and more
My approach is science based but I work outside the box, by addressing things that most practitioners don’t. You won’t leave with a boatload of supplements, but rather an understanding of your body, what went wrong and how you can fix it. We go over your lab results and look at how we can optimize your life for healing, so you don’t have to do this again!
Two of the most common cause of digestive issues: SIBO and h. pylori (both bacteria)
SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) is a common cause of IBS symptoms. If you have bloating, gas, gut pain, GERD/reflux, rosacea or skin issues, diarrhea or constipation, I rule out SIBO with an at home breath test.
The GI Map is stool test that checks for h. pylori in the stomach. This is an accurate test that is least likely to produce a false negative. The GI Map also tests for overgrown bacteria, yeast or parasites, which other tests miss.
All tests are done at home, sent through the mail (ALL OVER THE WORLD) and explained thoroughly.
You can design your own program by adding a SIBO, GI Map or HTMA to any package.
Testing tells us what to address, in what correct order. For example, it’s important to address h. Pylori before SIBO, candida or parasites to make the protocols more effective.
And if you’ve been unsuccessful with supplements and tests already, I suggest an HTMA test to shed inside on what’s preventing healing.
After working with me, clients can eat more foods, have a healthier relationship with the bathroom and feel less tired and toxic.
Subconscious mind body rewiring
One of the best ways to support the gut is by supporting the mind. Subconscious mind rewiring can help people get unstuck and past healing plateaus and roadblocks. Getting the mind out of a negative stress loop (that may be subconscious) has made a big difference for the clients who’ve done it. Subconscious stress loops are not in our awareness. We know we are stuck or challenged, but not why or what to do about it. The HTMA program uses somatic and subconscious interventions to move people out of their stress loops. Anxiety about healing can be what’s slowing it down.
