GutMind is online, gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS and everyday digestive distress — retraining the brain-gut connection so your body stops overreacting to normal signals.
IBS is now classed as a disorder of gut-brain interaction — the gut and brain aren't miscommunicating because something is broken, but because the signal between them has become oversensitive. Gut-directed hypnotherapy works on that specific signal, using structured suggestion and imagery focused on the digestive tract, rather than generic stress relief.
20 minutes over video to talk through your symptoms, your history, and whether this approach is a good fit — no pressure, no obligation.
Weekly 60-minute video sessions combining gut-directed hypnotherapy with practical tools for the moments symptoms tend to spike.
Each client receives a personal recording to listen to between sessions — consistency between sessions is what drives results.
We track what's shifting and adapt the approach as your symptoms respond, rather than running a fixed script regardless of progress.

treatment recommended in gastroenterology guidelines when diet and first-line treatment haven't fully resolved symptoms.
video-delivered sessions have shown response rates comparable to in-person treatment in published research.
Most clients see meaningful change over a series of weekly sessions rather than a single visit. Everything is delivered by video, so distance and time zone aren't a barrier.

"After years of anxiety and IBS-D that medication alone couldn't fully manage, a handful of sessions made a genuine difference — my triggers are easier to handle now, and I trust my own body again in a way I hadn't in a long time."
"Six sessions in, and the gut discomfort I'd struggled to manage for years has noticeably eased. My confidence in handling my own symptoms has grown right alongside it — I'd recommend this approach to anyone looking for a psychological angle on gut health."
"I came in for IBS on my doctor's recommendation, not realizing how much anxiety was actually driving my symptoms. By the end of the course my mood had lifted and my gut issues had cleared up — even my friends noticed the change."
As a hypnotherapist, I support people in overcoming challenges, calming long-standing symptoms, and building a better relationship with their own body. My approach blends evidence-based, gut-directed technique with genuinely personalized care — no two sessions look the same, because no two guts tell the same story.
I trained under Stephen Brooks, a leading figure in UK hypnotherapy, specializing in the Ericksonian approach. That training, combined with a background in psychology, shapes how I work: less about a fixed script, more about understanding what's actually driving a person's symptoms and working with that directly.
Gut-directed work became a specialism through my clinical training and my role on the IBS Network's Advisory Board in the UK — spending time close to the research and the patient community showed me how much this specific, targeted approach can do when general relaxation and stress management fall short.
GutMind exists to bring that same approach to clients across the US — delivered over secure video, so where you live isn't a barrier to the work.
No commitment — just a conversation about your symptoms and whether this is the right fit for you.
