IBS Isn't Just About Food
Personalized 1:1 support for persistent IBS, combining nutritional therapy with Gabor Maté's Compassionate Inquiry approach for a deeper understanding of gut health.
For women experiencing bloating, abdominal pain and IBS symptoms that haven't responded to diets or protocols, or that worsen with stress, anxiety or overwhelm.
You're In The Right Place
If you're experiencing
- Bloating
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Reflux
- Food sensitivities
- Anxiety around food
- Fatigue
- Brain fog
You've become hypervigilant around symptoms, constantly scanning your body, analysing food, or anticipating flare-ups before they happen.
Your symptoms are affecting your confidence, routines, and sense of freedom.
There's so much information, you don't know what to trust or what your body actually needs. Yet despite all the effort, it still feels like something important is missing.
While many people share an IBS diagnosis, no two experiences are the same.
The key is not more information or a perfect protocol, but creating enough space to understand the person, their body, their nervous system and the emotional patterns shaping their symptoms.
This Is For You If —
- 01
You've been dealing with gut symptoms for a while and still don't have clear answers.
- 02
You're tired of conflicting advice and unsure what to focus on first.
- 03
You've tried diets, supplements, or gut protocols without seeing lasting improvements.
- 04
You want to understand what your symptoms are telling you and what your gut actually needs.
- 05
You're looking for clear direction, personalised support, and an approach that understands you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
If it feels like something important is still missing, this is where things begin making sense.

How This Works
Hi, I'm Amanda. I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist (BANT, CNHC) and founder of Mind Body Biome. I specialize in IBS, chronic gut symptoms and stress-responsive digestion.
Over the years, I've worked with many women who feel confused by their symptoms, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or unsure what their gut actually needs.
The IBS Pathway is a structured approach combining nutritional therapy with nervous-system and somatic support to help women better understand their symptoms and what their body needs.
Rather than applying a generic protocol, we take the time to understand your history, your circumstances and the patterns that make your experience unique. This includes looking at nutrition and gut health alongside stress, the nervous system and emotional patterns that shape your experience and your symptoms.
My approach is informed by the work of Dr Gabor Maté, and I have completed over 400 hours of training in Compassionate Inquiry. This brings a deeper therapeutic lens to the relationship between the body, emotional patterns and persistent symptoms.
The goal is to create enough clarity, structure and stability to ensure you receive what your body needs at each stage of the process.
Many women tell me the biggest relief is not just having expert guidance, but finally feeling seen as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms.
My work in nutrition, gut health, and the microbiome is increasingly recognised across respected media and professional publications.
I was recently quoted in The Independent alongside Dr Megan Rossi contributing to a wider conversation on gut health.

4-Month 1:1 Programme + 6-Month Review
Mind Body Biome Integration
A personalized 4-month programme for women with persistent IBS who have tried diets, supplements or protocols but still feel stuck, particularly when stress, anxiety or overwhelm seem to affect their gut.
Combining nutritional therapy, functional testing where appropriate, nervous-system support and somatic work, we look at the wider picture of what may be contributing to persistent symptoms.
Over 9 Hours of Direct 1:1 Support
The programme begins with frequent support to help you understand your symptoms, establish strong nutritional foundations and reduce the overwhelm around managing your gut.
As we progress, we explore stress patterns, symptom cycles and the gut-brain relationship more deeply, including three longer integration sessions informed by Compassionate Inquiry and Dr Gabor Maté's therapeutic approach.
Throughout the four months, your nutrition, lifestyle and nervous-system support evolves with you rather than following a rigid protocol.
A 30-minute review at 6 months gives us the opportunity to reflect on your progress and support longer-term integration.
Many women arrive here exhausted from trying to make sense of their symptoms alone. If you're unsure where to begin, we'll work that out together on a free clarity call.
My Framework
A gentle framework for understanding the process.
Every person arrives with a different story, different symptoms, and different priorities. While no two journeys are the same, I often think about support through five interconnected landscapes.
These landscapes are not a rigid step-by-step system or a path you must follow. Instead, they provide a way of understanding where you are right now, what may be contributing to your symptoms, and what your body may need most at this stage.
Their purpose is to create greater clarity, direction, and understanding throughout the process.
There is no single right way to approach health.
This Approach May Be Right For You If
- You've tried simple solutions before, but still feel like something important is being missed.
- You want to understand the patterns behind your symptoms, not just manage them.
- You're open to exploring the wider factors that are contributing to your IBS, including food, stress, lifestyle, hormones, and your nervous system.
- You value ongoing guidance and expert support rather than trying to piece everything together on your own.
- You're looking for a personalised process that can adapt as your understanding of your body grows.
- You're ready to prioritise your health and feel more confident in your body.
This Approach May Not Be The Right Fit If
- You're looking for a one-off consultation or a simple plan with minimal ongoing input.
- You want someone who can walk you through standard recommendations, symptom-focused interventions, or a protocol-led approach rather than an ongoing process of support and understanding.
- Right now, you need something low-cost and lower-touch so you can focus your time, energy, and resources on other priorities in your life.
- You enjoy researching, experimenting, and working things out for yourself, and would prefer to navigate the process independently.
- You're not in a position to make your health a priority right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
That's completely understandable.
Many of the women I work with feel exhausted after trying different diets, supplements, practitioners, or approaches without lasting change.
This work focuses on understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms and creating a personalised plan based on your individual situation, rather than applying another generic solution.
As a registered Nutritional Therapist, I can also recommend advanced testing where appropriate to explore patterns that may not have been looked at in standard care.
Meaningful change often comes from having the right level of support, clarity, and consistency over time.
The clarity call is a relaxed conversation about what's been happening for you, your symptoms, challenges, and what you've already tried.
It's a space to begin understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms and what your body may need next.
If helpful, I'll share some initial thoughts, explain how the pathway works, and answer any questions you have.
There's no pressure, just a supportive conversation about what could help you move forward with more clarity.
Not always.
We begin by understanding your symptoms, health history, and overall picture before deciding whether testing would be useful.
Functional testing can provide deeper insight into areas such as digestion, the gut, and blood sugar balance when needed, but it's never used unnecessarily.
The focus is always on what will genuinely support your progress.
An IBS nutritionist supports women experiencing symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, reflux, or food sensitivities.
Rather than looking at the gut in isolation, this work explores how areas like nutrition, blood sugar balance, digestion, and lifestyle factors may also be influencing symptoms.
Support is personalised and evolves over time, helping you understand what your symptoms are telling you and what your body actually needs.
Many women receive general advice, medication, or supplement recommendations, but still feel their symptoms are not fully resolving.
Working with a nutritionist allows for a more personalised and detailed approach.
Instead of focusing only on symptoms, we look at the wider picture and how different systems in the body may be interacting.
This creates greater clarity around what may be driving your symptoms and how to support your body more sustainably.
Some women do make progress on their own, particularly with supportive lifestyle changes.
But when symptoms are ongoing, inconsistent, or complex, it can become difficult to know what's actually helping.
Working with a practitioner provides structure, clarity, and ongoing support, so you're not relying purely on trial and error.
The process adapts as your body responds, helping changes feel more manageable and sustainable over time.
Your GP plays an important role in diagnosis, investigations, and medical care.
Nutritional therapy offers a different layer of support, with more space to explore nutrition, symptoms, digestion, lifestyle, and day-to-day factors that may be influencing your health.
The two approaches often work very well together.
Medical care provides oversight and safety, while nutritional therapy offers the personalised, ongoing support needed to understand your symptoms and make a clear plan.
Not at all.
Most clients work with me online and find it easier to stay consistent that way.
The process remains highly personalised, wherever you're based.
We explore your symptoms, health history, and patterns in detail, with ongoing support and adjustments provided throughout the process online.
Ready for more clarity around your IBS?
If your symptoms are affecting your confidence, your routines, or how at ease you feel in your body, it may be time to commit to a more personal and supportive approach.
The IBS Pathway is designed to help you explore the connections between your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, patterns, and experiences, so you know exactly what to focus on in order to reclaim your health.
