ABOUT

WHO IS SARAH?

Hi there! I’m Sarah, passionate about changing the paradigm of gut health. I’m dedicated to helping you overcome your gut issues so that you can live your life to the fullest.

This passion comes from my own personal journey with gut problems. From around my mid-teenage years, I started to become quite unwell. I was underweight, often sick, my stomach was reacting to basically everything and I was constantly fatigued. Things continued to get worse as I got into my early twenties, and it was at the point where I was regularly going home from work and isolating myself because of it all.

I was eventually diagnosed with coeliac disease and eliminating gluten did change my life. After a few months I had much more energy, I was at a healthy weight and my confidence was up.

But then things plateaued. Yes, I had improved, but I still had lots of gut symptoms, and my emotional state was all over the place.

It wasn’t until I went on a deep healing journey to address the stress that I was under and fix my relationship with myself that things finally changed for me. I finally was able to cut through all the confusion and tune into my body to give it what it loves and needs. As a result, my gut symptoms went down, my energy stabilised and I felt much more calm and clear.

I work with clients both locally and globally in an online private space. We start with a thorough discussion about their specific situation and putting together a plan. Initially, it’s all about investigating, getting some answers and bringing symptom relief. We then work on healing the gut by addressing the physical, emotional and environmental factors that are causing the issues, so that we can start to bring back their energy and give them more freedom around eating. Finally, we create a strategy for them to continue with so that they have the confidence they need to move forward without their symptoms holding them back.

Through this process, my clients learn how to understand their bodies so that they can heal both inside and out. This is what really sets them up for life, even after we finish our work together.

It’s a bit like having a personal detective – I’m there to help you piece together what’s going on with you and figure out the solutions. My job is to help you understand what’s happening in your body because then you’re able to tune in and give your body what it really needs. These acts of compassion are healing in themselves and enable you to leave the worry of your digestion behind so that you can instead focus on the things that matter most to you.

My work allows me to fulfil what I’m most passionate about, which is ultimately empowering people to be at their best health physically and emotionally so they can live their lives to the fullest.

I've only been with Sarah a month, but real results are already showing. I am so glad we found each other. I'd been struggling for a long time. I felt sick all the time. I have a little bit more energy and I sleep right through the night (have not done that for years). The best thing is my stomach is not so angry anymore. I stopped passing wind (all the time with no control) and burping. Sarah is a listener. She is very knowledgeable. I can tell her anything. Sarah is mobile and you can call her anytime which I like. I’m looking forward to next month. I recommend her to everyone! – Janet McGee, Brisbane, Australia

Since working with Sarah, I no longer feel nauseous and my headaches have gone away. My skin has also cleared up and I have so much more energy. Sarah has been fantastic – super helpful and very responsive. I’m so happy with my results! Ashleigh Barnard – Brisbane, Australia

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Nathan Lancelot, Brisbane, Australia

Before working with Sarah, I was struggling to eat because every time I ate something I had to run to the bathroom. I was constantly having to duck off to the toilet during work hours which was incredibly awkward and inconvenient. I was so frustrated with not knowing what to eat. I also felt exhausted all the time and didn’t have the energy for my hobbies and the things I love to do, including bike riding.

Sarah has helped me to be able to live a normal life, with regular toilet stops rather than the multitude during the day. Sarah has also helped me to work out my diet with more balance between the foods I love to eat and the foods my system loves me to eat.

I’m so relieved because I feel so much better, I have the energy to ride again, and I’m not running to the toilet all day at work which is amazing.

I definitely recommend working with Sarah – don’t think about it, just do it. The results far outweigh the pain of not doing anything.

Diane Henderson – Brisbane, Australia

Sarah’s advice and suggestions for dietary changes and supplements have certainly helped me to overcome a few longstanding health issues in quite a short period of time. I am now more able to predict the foods that I should avoid, and I have strategies to use when I am away from home and have less control over my diet. I have really appreciated the research that Sarah has done to assist me in overcoming each of the health issues I spoke with her about. My gut issues have improved so much that I am now able to live a more relaxed lifestyle. Sarah has been very friendly, supportive and easy to work with. I have really enjoyed working with Sarah.

Svetlana (Lana) Terechshenko – Brisbane, Australia

I had a pleasure of working with Sarah since December 2018. My child had been seriously unwell for several months prior to that, with the symptoms being inflamed lymph nodes, headaches, painful stomachaches, severe eczema, and weight loss. In December, the child was diagnosed with Coeliac disease in the hospital. I found the combination of the efforts of the hospital team (pediatrician, dermatologist, etc.) and Sarah’s advice extremely beneficial. Sarah was able to provide enormous help with the following:

• She suggested a step-by-step treatment plan, with regular conversations along the way. It made digesting tones of new information a lot easier for me. There is plenty of often contradictory data in the Internet, whereas Sarah was able to streamline and structure the advice to make it clear.

• Sarah explained how a huge part of the treatment depends on healing the gut. She was the first to suggest undertaking the intolerance test, which identified multiple food intolerances in addition to gluten. Simply sticking to the gluten-free diet was not enough, as other foods were causing constant inflammation. With Sarah’s guidance, recipes and tips, and us adhering to the diet, I was able see the results in a few months.

• Although we are still in the middle of the journey, after 4 months, headaches and stomachaches were gone; bloating reduced sufficiently; inflammation is decreasing; skin condition has improved and eczema has become manageable.

• Sarah is giving extremely helpful advice on restoring the flora and inner state of the gut, settling the immune system and bringing the inflammation down, as well as the necessary supplements and nutrients.

She explains everything in a comprehensive language, making it clear how the connections and substances in our body work and affect our wellbeing. As opposed to the mere prohibition of non-tolerated foods, Sarah explains what it is in them that is not working well with the body, and suggests replacement options to ensure the necessary vitamins and minerals are consumed.

She always responds promptly to my questions. Her answers are well explained and researched.

Sarah is an empathic, honest, reliable and extremely pleasant person. I will definitely recommend Sarah to anyone who is suffering gut-related and nutritional issues.

Since working with Sarah everything is going awesome, I’m actually starting to enjoy the taste of oats and I have so much more energy in the mornings. My mum has even jumped on board as well and eating the same as me!
