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 even hospitalised at one stage but no one ever knew what the problem was.

I was eventually diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2012, 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.

What I wouldn't learn until much later is that simply eliminating gluten alone is not enough to manage coeliac disease. I discovered this through my studies. I hadn't done any gut healing work, I hadn't thought about other foods that might be aggravating the gut and I also hadn't built my nutritional status back up. I also wasn't doing any maintenance that is needed in coeliac disease, including assisting with digestion and monitoring nutritional stores.

The other piece to the puzzle is, of course, emotions. We all know that stress is a trigger for gut flare ups - but there's no education on how to manage the stress, what stress really is and how you heal from stress.

It wasn’t until I went on a deep healing journey to address the stress that I was under, including my damaging thought patterns, 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.

It's a horrible position to be in when things seem to be getting worse and worse and no one ever knows why. Or the advice is to 'just live with it'.

I know that this is the case for so many people, especially when it comes to the gut, and this is what I want to change with my work.

My background, studies and personal healing experiences have put me in a unique position to be able to facilitate gut healing in people with coeliac disease, IBS and IBD, and I've decided to dedicate my life to this work.

I've now designed specific methodologies and systems which have been developed over my 10+ years combined personal and clinical experience with the gut, and I teach these to clients both locally and globally.

The way I work is tailored, holistic, targeted and addresses all factors that cause you to suffer from gut issues so you can heal and feel truly well from the inside out.

We start with a thorough discussion about your specific situation and putting together a plan. Initially, it’s all about investigating, getting 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. Finally, we create a strategy for you to continue with so that you have the confidence you need going forwards.

This process sets you up both now and into the future, even after we finish our work together.

I'm a bit like a personal detective – I’m there to help you piece together what’s going on, why, and to help you find the solutions.

It's important to know that there is ALWAYS something we can do. There's always hope, there's always room for improvement and healing is always possible. Always.

Once you understand what it all means, learn to listen to your gut instincts and give yourself what you need physically and emotionally, everything else just falls into place. This enables 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 thrive in their personal and professional lives.

I am 100% committed to helping you overcome your gut issues and I've designed my business specifically to do that. If you share that commitment and are ready to leave your gut issues behind for good, I'd love to help you do that.

To learn more or get in touch, book in a Complimentary Connection Call and we'll get to know each other, where you're at, where you'd like to get to and whether the work I do is a good fit to help you get there.

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 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 recommend her to everyone! – Janet McGee, Brisbane, Australia

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. Sarah has helped me to live a normal life with regular toilet stops rather than the multitude during the day. 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. I definitely recommend working with Sarah – don’t think about it, just do it - Nathan Lancelot – Brisbane, Australia

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Deborah West – Brisbane, Australia

I reached out to Sarah because I was feeling very stressed, irritable, exhausted and I was carrying extra weight that I hadn’t been able to shift.  I had tried multiple diets over the years which hadn’t worked, and I was very disheartened by it all.

While working with Sarah I started to feel more relaxed, more mindful of myself and my surroundings, and more present.  I also experienced a huge shift in my feelings of self worth and self respect which was a real turning point for me.

Sarah gave me the tools to change my whole way of thinking about stress and my every day habits which was so valuable and important.  The support and accountability she provided was exactly what I needed to stay on track.

I now feel amazing and so refreshed.  I’m much happier, more energetic, more positive and I feel so much better in myself and my body.  My clothes fit better, I speak to myself better, and my whole outlook on life is totally different.  I’ve learned to care for myself and I wasn’t doing this before.  I’m also so relieved to finally understand the right way to eat for my body.

This has been the most sensible and easiest to follow program I’ve ever encountered.  I feel like I’m now finally doing things properly and I know I’ll keep going on this new, healthy path now.  The best part is that we covered everything from head to toe – body, mind, spirit and soul.

Sarah’s program been the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time and I’m amazed at how much has changed.  I’ve been recommending Sarah to everyone!

I reached out to Sarah because I had been feeling extremely nauseous for weeks and I was getting itchy rashes down the sides of my legs. I also had purple marks on the top of my feet, and I was getting awful headaches all the time. I wasn’t sleeping well and felt exhausted.

 

As I went through Sarah’s program my headaches and nausea subsided, I started sleeping like a log and I got a shock when I realised that my rash and the purple marks on my feet had disappeared. I didn’t realise that was possible. I also now have a lot more energy, am exercising more and am feeling more relaxed.

 

I feel so relieved now because I know what was causing it all. I feel a lot more positive, happier and it’s wonderful to be able to sleep properly because I haven’t slept through the night since I was a teenager. I put up with it all for so long.

 

I’m so glad that I did Sarah’s program and got this worked out instead of going back and forth with different people and trying different things all the time which would have been very stressful.

 

I highly recommend working with Sarah because it’s so empowering to know which foods suit you and which foods don’t. Having the regular video sessions with Sarah was great and if I ever needed Sarah, I could send her a message and she would reply very promptly.

 

I’ve been able to bring new ways of eating into my life that are supporting me to be healthy, energetic and happy.

Dianne Werner – Toronto, Canada

Before working with Sarah, I was experiencing a lot of pain, gas, nausea, bloating and diarrhea.  I was only able to eat very little food because I was losing it so quickly.  I would eat dinner at 6pm and by 6:45pm it was gone.

I have had Crohn’s disease and IBS for over 60 years, and I felt like things had been getting much worse in the 10 months or so before I met Sarah.  I wasn’t tolerating much food and I couldn’t sleep much because I had to get up 2-3 times during the night to empty my ileostomy bag.  I felt exhausted all the time and social situations felt like a trial to get through which was very distressing.

Sarah listened to me and heard what I was facing.  She had so many suggestions that WORK.

I’m now sleeping much better and able to manage 6-7 hours per night whereas I was only able to get about 3 hours before.  My dinner isn’t disappearing, without needing Imodium, and I’m getting barely any bloating or gas.  My output is down overall despite taking less medication than ever.

I was able to go on an overseas vacation for a month and only missed one day out of the 30 days there, whereas before the whole trip would have been a struggle.

I’m also more psychologically stable because I’m not constantly worried about my bowels.  I understand better the way in which my psychological state relates to my gut and pain.  Stressful events don’t set my gut off like they used to.

I feel whole and less the odd woman out.  I’m less stressed and I feel much more able to tolerate abrupt changes.  I’m much more grounded than I was.

If you’re thinking about working with Sarah, all I can say is you had better get on board 2000%.  Even though I’m a nurse, psychologist, thought psychotherapist and spiritual director, I’ve learned more through working with Sarah than everything else.  She can really HELP where no one else has!

Before working with Sarah, I was always feeling bloated and tired, I was getting stomach cramps and a lot of stomach pain. Things were unpredictable – sometimes food would be fine for me, other times the same food would set my stomach off. I didn’t know what to eat, and nothing seemed to be helping.

I now feel much better in my stomach. I’m able to tolerate food that I couldn’t previously, I have far less pain and I feel stronger and lighter overall which I’m really happy about. My energy is better, and my stress resilience has improved.

I have also learned how to listen to my body more, how to put myself first and take care of myself more. I’ve found it really interesting to understand the way in which my gut affects my mood and energy, and why it’s so important to know what’s going on inside.

Before starting Sarah’s program, I was a little worried about the financial investment. However, I believe that my health needs to come first and this program has been worth every cent. I have more motivation to look after my health now that I know what it’s like to have a settled tummy.

Sarah has given me such amazing support. She’s always been there for me where I’ve needed it, she’s very knowledgeable and she teaches in a way in which anyone could understand and learn from. Sarah is genuine, really nice to work with and puts me at ease. I always feel better and more confident after our private sessions. I highly recommend working with Sarah

Before working with Sarah, I was getting lots of bloating, gas and diarrhoea. This was something I had been struggling with for about 15 years. I was so fatigued and always needed to be near a toilet which was very inconvenient, especially at work. As soon as I got home I would have to run to the toilet which was very stressful. I was at a point where I felt I had to accept that I would always be up and down with these issues and that things would always be this way.

I now feel much more relaxed and comfortable with less bloating and less toilet trips during the day. Through diet change and learning about the mind-gut connection I have discovered a new side to nutrition that I didn’t know about before. I’ve even been able to travel on a long-haul flight and enjoy a trip overseas with minimal discomfort, which was absolutely wonderful.

I didn’t think that anything would help me after my long history with gut problems which has included surgery, but Sarah’s program did. If this program worked for me, then I believe that it can help anyone.
