Naturopath
Gut Health Naturopath in Melbourne – IBS, SIBO & Digestive Support
As a gut-focused naturopath and nutritionist, I help people overcome IBS, SIBO, bloating and food intolerance so they can feel comfortable, confident and in control again.
I’m based in Melbourne and work 100% online with clients worldwide.
What Is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy supports the body’s natural ability to heal by addressing why symptoms are happening, not just suppressing them.
In gut health, this means supporting:
- digestion and enzyme function
- motility and gut movement
- microbiome balance
- inflammation
- gut–brain communication
- nutrient absorption
Can Naturopathy Help IBS, SIBO & Bloating?
Yes. Naturopathy is highly effective for functional digestive conditions because it targets:
- root causes
- patterns across systems
- symptom triggers
- nervous system involvement
Rather than relying on long-term restrictive diets, the goal is resilience and food confidence.
What Makes My Naturopathic Approach Different?
1. Gut-focused — by design
I specialise in IBS, SIBO, bloating and digestive dysfunction.
This is my niche, my training, and my lived experience.
I treat gut health and the systems that influence it.
2. Dual-qualified: Naturopath + Nutritionist
Most naturopaths do not hold a full nutrition degree.
I do, which means your treatment is informed by:
- - nutritional biochemistry
- - digestive physiology
- - evidence-based food therapy
- - naturopathic principles
- - herbal medicine
You benefit from both worlds.
3. Functional gut testing expertise
I help you understand:
- - when testing is useful
- - which tests matter
- - how to interpret microbiome + digestion patterns
- - how your results explain your symptoms
- - how to use this information without overwhelm
No guesswork. No wasting money on unnecessary tests.
4. Root-cause identification
IBS, SIBO and bloating are never random. I help you uncover what's behind your symptoms, such as:
- - motility issues
- - enzyme insufficiency
- - microbiome imbalance
- - stress & gut-brain dysregulation
- - post-infection changes
- - food reactions
- - inflammatory pathways
Healing becomes possible when we understand why symptoms are happening.
5. Holistic, whole-person care (but gut remains the centre)
I treat the full picture only as it relates to your gut:
- - stress → gut-brain axis
- - sleep → digestion + inflammation
- - hormones → motility + sensitivity
- - immune function → bloating + food reactions
- - skin → microbiome → inflammation
This keeps the approach grounded, targeted and personalised...without becoming overly broad.
6. Gentle, non-restrictive approach
- - No extreme diets.
- - No confusing supplement stacks.
- - No fear-based messaging.
- - No long-term restrictions.
✓ Just structured, sustainable, evidence-backed care.
What I Specialise In
Primary: Gut Health
- IBS (all subtypes including post-infectious)
- SIBO (hydrogen, methane, hydrogen sulphide)
- Chronic bloating, gas + distension
- Constipation or diarrhoea
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Coeliac disease
- Food intolerances and sensitivities
- Reflux (and all subtypes)
- Intestinal hypersensitivity
- Motility issues
- Enzyme insufficiency
- Leaky gut
- Dysbiosis and microbiome imbalances
- Fungal overgrowths
- Gastritis
- Diverticulitis
Secondary: Interconnected Systems That Affect the Gut
- Stress, nervous system dysregulation, gut-brain axis and vagal tone
- Sleep issues affecting gut healing
- Hormonal shifts that impact digestion (e.g., PMS bloating)
- Immune imbalance affecting food tolerance
- Skin issues linked to gut inflammation
- Fatigue, brain fog, mood changes connected to gut pathways
These are not separate treatment areas —
they are gut-connected areas that help complete the picture.
Who Is This Approach For?
This approach is ideal if you:
- have IBS (any subtype)
- experience chronic bloating or gas
- suspect SIBO
- react to many foods
- feel anxious around eating
- have “normal” test results but ongoing symptoms
