Are you here because you're tired of letting your unpredictable bowels
rule your life?
​​
Hi, I'm Jenny, I'm a wife and mother of 2 beautiful girls and I'm on a mission to help women who are burnt out from chronic digestive stress figure out what's going on in their bodies so they can take control of their IBS symptoms.
I did not get into gut health and IBS for no reason. I personally struggled with digestive issues during pregnancy and post partum period. I had severe bloating, cramping and constipation which took a heavy toll on my body and my ability to be there for my family.
​
I also noticed a pattern in my clients that were coming to me for help with their diet. Many had underlying digestive issues that they thought was a normal part of life and was too embarrassed to seek help. Intrigued by all of this, I furthered my knowledge in digestive health and discovered that the root cause of many chronic health issues begin in the gut.
​
I am continually amazed by the women whom I initially meet debilitated with gut symptoms go on to experience total transformation within weeks by the power of food and I am so honoured to walk beside them in their health journey.
​
My unique framework combines functional nutrition and dietetics to figure out what's going on in your body so that you can get crystal clear on your food and lifestyle roadmap to help you move the needle towards IBS free living.
​
Now here is the nerdy formal stuff......

Hello!
You've got an Irritable Gut?
Welcome to the world of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders worldwide affecting as many as 1 in 5 adults in Australia. People with IBS do not have any anatomic defect instead they appear to have highly sensitive bowels. The cause of IBS is unclear however lifestyle factors such as stress and diet can worsen symptoms.
There is no cure for IBS and treatment is focused on symptom management. Treatment modalities include dietary changes, psychological therapies and medications.
There is now convincing evidence that the Low FODMAP diet can help approximately 70% of people with IBS find symptom relief.
It could be that you are sensitive to certain poorly absorbed carbohydrates called FODMAPS which tend to produce only stomach and bowel symptoms. FODMAPs include foods that contain fructose (fruit, honey), lactose (dairy), sorbitol (artificial sweeteners), mannitol (mushrooms), fructans (wheat, onions) and
galacto-oligosaccharides (legumes).
The Low Fodmap elimination diet is a protocol to identify which foods are problematic.
This process is complex and I will work with you to:
​
-
Tailor the elimination diet to your unique needs
-
Investigate what foods are causing you digestive upset
-
Educate you on how your digestion system works, what can go wrong and how you can start to heal it
As a certified Monash Fodmap Dietitian I have guided many people through this protocol in a way that does not compromise their health and have witnessed tremendous results.
