About Me

The Journey Behind Gut Wellness Guide

Hello I’m Jem, the founder of Gut Wellness Guide and an IBS-focused Certified Hypnotherapist and CBT practitioner. I am passionate about taking a holistic and natural approach to managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by combining gut-directed hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and health coaching. 
My Personal Journey with IBS
Why specialise in IBS? Because I once walked that difficult path myself. For over a decade I struggled with IBS, desperate for a solution. I tried everything: medications, supplements, restrictive diet after restrictive diet—you name it. I immersed myself in every book on gut health and self-healing, but nothing seemed to alleviate my IBS symptoms. My days were consumed by endless trips to the bathroom, debilitating pain, bloating, persistent nausea and heartburn. I felt trapped in my own body, anxious and incredibly defeated.
It wasn’t until I stumbled upon gut-directed hypnotherapy that my life took a transformative turn. I was inspired by numerous success stories and compelling statistics highlighting hypnotherapy's effectiveness for IBS, and I decided to take the leap and try it out myself. The results were phenomenal; my IBS improved dramatically, and my mindset has completely shifted. After seeing how effective gut-directed hypnotherapy was for me, I knew I had to help people going through what I had experienced. So I decided to study and get a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy at the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, and the rest is history!
How I can help you
I have designed a 6 session program which will assist you in re-establishing normal gut function, alleviating pain and discomfort through giving you the right tools, knowledge, and encouragement to help combat your IBS. I will use a mixture of hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and holistic health coaching to help you achieve your goals.

How Hypnosis can reduce IBS symptoms

How Hypnosis can reduce IBS symptoms


In order to understand how hypnotherapy for IBS works and why it is so effective in alleviating symptoms, it's essential to recognise the core issue driving the discomfort within your gut. IBS arises from a miscommunication between your gut and your brain, which is why it’s classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction.

This intricate relationship involves a two-way communication highway between your central nervous system and your gastrointestinal tract, facilitated by the vagus nerve. When this communication is disrupted, the signals sent between your gut and brain become skewed, resulting in IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, nausea and diarrhoea.

Two primary issues arise when this gut-brain connection fails:

IBS arises from a miscommunication between your gut and your brain, which is why it’s classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction.

This intricate relationship involves a two-way communication highway between your central nervous system and your gastrointestinal tract, facilitated by the vagus nerve. When this communication is disrupted, the signals sent between your gut and brain become skewed, resulting in IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, nausea and diarrhoea.

Two primary issues arise when this gut-brain connection fails:

VISCERAL HYPERSENSITIVITY:

VISCERAL HYPERSENSITIVITY:

Your bowel may become overly sensitive to normal sensations, such as gas or fullness, misinterpreting these stimuli as discomfort. This occurs when the nerves in your gut become hypervigilant, sending unnecessary pain signals to the brain, which can further amplify these sensations.


ALTERED GUT MOTILITY:

ALTERED GUT MOTILITY:

The normal movement of food through your intestines may become disordered, leading to irregular patterns that cause constipation, diarrhoea, or alternating episodes of both. This can also result in increased pressure within your gastrointestinal tract, causing painful spasms.

The good news is that you can restore communication within your nervous system. Through hypnotherapy, you can directly influence this communication, helping the brain regain control over bodily processes that may feel uncontrollable, such as digestion. Hypnotherapy strengthens the "faulty" gut-brain connection, alleviating the painful and disruptive symptoms of IBS.

Many individuals with IBS also experience anxiety about potential flare-ups, which can exacerbate symptoms. By utilising hypnosis to lower stress levels, we can effectively break the stress-symptom cycle, which will overall improve gut function.
