My Story...

I’m Caroline, a nutritionist and naturopath with well over ten years’ experience as a digestive gut health expert.

But growing up I wasn’t healthy and I spent twenty years in a stressful career before pursuing what I love to do.  

I was an overweight child. I loved food, puddings, chocolate and cake! As a teenager I started to dabble in nutrition and wellness but more from a weight loss point of view than health.

After university I threw myself into corporate life, pursuing the dream of having it all. But I was exhausted, stressed-out and unhappy in trying to meet the expectations of the corporate world whilst having no time to consider my own needs.

I was drained and suffering confidence zapping skin conditions with terrible acne on my face that wouldn’t go away. I was approaching forty with five year old twin girls, juggling a (supposedly) part-time pressurised job with trying to be a good mother. I’d had enough!

I can only describe it as a light-bulb moment when I realised that what I was really passionate about was nutrition and health. And so began a five year plus journey from studying nutrition, to naturopathy, iridology and wellbeing coaching.

It was in my first year of studies that – bingo! - I finally recognized what I explain to all my clients: Health really does start in the gut. As I looked back on the courses of antibiotics I had taken, started to sort out my digestion and take care of my gut health, so my overall vitality improved and my skin cleared up.

Why on earth had no-one ever shown me how important it is to take care of our gut health? Why are doctors so unaware of the long-term implications of antibiotic use on the delicate gut microbiome? Why was it that no-one in the medical profession seemed to understand the link between digestion, the gut, the microbiome and what happens in the rest of the body. 

And so I started to practice and see clients, I always took the time to help optimise their digestion, their bowel regularity and often the other symtoms that they presented with, disappeared. 

And I came to be recognised as an expert in gut and digestive health.

Over my years in practice I have helped many hundreds of clients gain relief from digestive discomfort, bloating, poor and irregular bowel movements; find improvement to chronic IBD conditions and much more.
