Living with IBS is difficult . . finding relief doesn’t need to be 

Through an innovative 12 week holistic treatment for IBS, my team and I offer a high level of specialised support to clients all around the world. With the right knowledge and support, you really can transform your IBS symptoms and take life off hold.

It’s not your fault.. The system is broken

Approximately 1 in 5 in the UK suffers with IBS yet It’s a sad fact that our fragile healthcare system struggles to provide the support needed for those with IBS to truly thrive. Beyond diagnosis many are left without the knowledge & support they need to effectively manage their symptoms. ⁣

I see first hand the impact of living with IBS. It's not just the physical discomfort it causes, there’s an emotional toll too - feeling guilty because simple things like eating out, day trips or holidays with the family are just too difficult. Feeling bad for backing out of plans with friends last minute.

There's no doubt that living with IBS can be frustrating and lonely and all too often people are told to simply ‘live with it’. The truth is, it doesn’t need to be that way.

“I have experienced improvements in my IBS I didn’t previously think were possible”

I had tried different things before working with Helen (e.g. dietary changes, probiotics, lifestyle changes etc), and was despairing wondering if I could ever find something that would help. I am so grateful that I got to work with Helen. I have experienced improvements in my IBS I didn’t previously think were possible.
Working with Helen has been a life changing experience.

Understanding the Real Cause of Your IBS

You might think finding which foods trigger your gut issues will solve your IBS, but that’s only part of the story. Here’s why…

Introducing the Gut-Brain Connection: This complex communication network links your gastrointestinal tract and brain. It involves neural pathways, specifically the vagus nerve, alongside chemical signals via neurotransmitters created by the guts microbiome, and interactions with the immune system.

The problem is…

IBS is a disorder of the gut-brain interaction - a DGBI.

This means the communication network between your brain and gut is disrupted, causing hypersensitivity in your digestive tract. This hypersensitivity makes your gut intolerant to certain foods and disrupts its function, leading to pain, bloating, excess gas, and changes in bowel habits. Living with these symptoms can also cause stress and anxiety, which only worsen the problem.

How Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy Helps with IBS

The solution?

Focus on fixing the root cause: the miscommunication between your gut and brain. When the gut-brain connection is restored.

✓ Gut sensitivity decreases, and food intolerances reduce, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of foods, including onions and garlic.

✓ Gut motility normalises. Proper gut motility prevents issues like diarrhoea and urgency caused by fast motility and constipation caused by slow motility.. It also reduces pain, bloating, and gas from erratic motility.

By supporting the gut-brain connection, you can significantly reduce IBS symptoms and improve your overall digestive health long term without changing what you eat.
