Gentle, Rooted Support for Gut Health

Youโ€™ve tried everything โ€” diets, supplements, medications, specialists.
And still, your gut symptoms remain. Or flare again at the worst moments.

Maybe you experience bloating, reflux, nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation.
Maybe food feels like a minefield, and youโ€™re exhausted from trying to figure it out.

If youโ€™ve been told โ€œitโ€™s just IBS,โ€ or โ€œyour tests are normal,โ€ but you know something isnโ€™t right โ€” I want you to know:

I believe you.

You are not being dramatic. You are not imagining it. And you are not alone.

How I support you

I compassionate, evidence-based nutrition support for gut health - rooted in science and in somatic care.

Your gut is not separate from your nervous system, your past, or your capacity to feel safe.

Together, we look beyond symptom control and explore:

  • The neurophysiology of gut-brain connection

  • Nervous system regulation tools to support digestion

  • Gentle dietary strategies to reduce discomfort without restriction

  • How stress, trauma, or burnout may be impacting your gut

  • A personalised path forward that supports your whole self โ€” not just your symptoms

You donโ€™t need to do this alone. And you donโ€™t need to choose between science and softness.

Who this work is for

This space may be a good fit if:

  • Youโ€™ve been diagnosed with IBS, IBD, reflux

  • You experience unexplained bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, or food sensitivity

  • Your gut symptoms worsen with stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm

  • Youโ€™ve tried elimination diets or supplements with little long-term success

  • You feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice or donโ€™t know where to start

  • Youโ€™re ready for a gentler, more holistic approach that meets you as a whole person

What to expect

In our sessions, we go at your pace โ€” weaving together medical nutrition therapy, trauma-informed care, and nervous system awareness.

We might explore:

  • How your symptoms relate to the gut-brain axis

  • Practical, non-restrictive strategies to soothe flare-ups

  • Somatic practices to support digestion and reduce anxiety

  • A sustainable food and lifestyle rhythm that nourishes you, not depletes you

This is not about fixing your gut overnight โ€” itโ€™s about creating space for your body to heal, gently and wisely.

FAQs

  • Clients often come to me for support with:

    • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

    • Functional gut disorders (e.g. functional dyspepsia, reflux hypersensitivity)

    • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

    • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohnโ€™s, Ulcerative Colitis)

    • Suspected or diagnosed food intolerances (e.g. lactose, fructose)

    • Diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, nausea

    • Gut symptoms that worsen with stress or trauma

  • Not at all. Many clients come to me feeling confused or dismissed by past experiences. We can begin wherever you are, and Iโ€™ll help you feel supported in both symptom management and deeper healing.

  • Yes. I work within the Health at Every Size Framework. As such, I do not offer weight loss plans or diets.

  • As a new client, you can book via our online portal or via phone (07 3709 0073).

    For any questions about our services that you would like to ask before committing to booking an appointment, we invite you to call or email with your question. We would love to hear from you.

  • We are currently unable to offer after hours sessions. We run appointments from 8am to 4:30pm.

  • A referral is not required to attend dietitian appointments at Alitus Health.

    A referral from your GP is required in order to claim Medicare rebates. We accept Medicare referrals under both Chronic Disease Management Plans/ Team Care Arrangements and Eating Disorder Plans.

    Your GP clinic can send through your referral via email or fax (see contacts page for details).

  • Medicare currently offers a $60.35 rebate for 5 Allied Health appointments per calendar year as part of a chronic disease management (CDM) or Team Care Arrangements (TCA) plan, and for 20 dietitian appointments per year on an Eating Disorder Plan (EDP).

    We are unable to bulk bill for appointments at this time, so there will still be an out-of-pocket fee to pay for each session you access under your care plan.

    Please note: you can continue to receive dietetics support once your allocated care plan sessions have been used up, however the cost will return to the full fee, unless you are covered by Private Health insurance.

  • We are registered with Private Health Funds in Australia, and as such can offer health fund rebates. We use HICAPS to offer point of sale rebates for Private Health Insurance.

    Different Private Health funds offer different coverage for dietitian services so we invite you to check with your provider regarding what they cover.

    Please note: Private Health Insurance and Medicare rebates cannot be claimed for the same session.

  • At least 48 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule your appointment, or a cancellation fee of 50% of the appointment cost will be charged.

    If you cancel the the day of your session or fail to arrive for a session, inclusive of forgetting it was scheduled, the full session fee will be incurred. Day of cancellations impacts both clients waiting for a session and the practitioner who spent time preparing the session.

    For any appointments on Mondays, notifications of any reschedules are to be received by the latest the Thursday prior. Weekends are considered out of hours. We do offer Telehealth sessions as an alternative should you be too unwell to attend in person. We thank you kindly for your understanding in this matter.
