Gut Health & Digestion
Northern Beaches & Online
Support Your Gut Health, Support Your Life
Your gut affects far more than digestion.
It influences your energy, sleep, immunity, mood, metabolism and even your skin and mental clarity.
If you’ve been struggling with bloating after meals, IBS symptoms, reflux, constipation or stress-related digestive problems, there are answers and you don’t have to keep guessing. Personalised gut health support can help you understand what’s driving your symptoms and take clear, lasting steps towards feeling well again.
Why Gut Health Matters
Your digestive system is at the centre of your overall wellbeing. When your gut is out of balance, whether through dysbiosis, gut microbiome imbalance or chronic digestive stress, it can show up as:
- Bloating, abdominal pain or discomfort after meals
- Reflux or acid reflux,
- Constipation, loose stools or irregular bowel movements
- IBS symptoms including cramping, urgency and unpredictable digestion
- Unexplained weight gain, particularly around the middle
- Poor sleep or mood changes
- Brain fog, fatigue or poor concentration
- Skin breakouts or low immunity
- Food sensitivities or intolerances
- Stress related gut flare-ups
These are signals, not just inconveniences.
By addressing the root cause of your digestive symptoms, it’s possible to improve digestion, energy, sleep, metabolism, immunity and mental clarity in ways that last.
My Approach
I combine evidence-based science with real-life practicality, looking at the whole picture: your symptoms, gut microbiome, lifestyle and health history to understand what your body is telling you.

Hi, I’m Kim,
A nutritionist based on the Northern Beaches, working with clients across Sydney and online.
My approach is calm, practical, and grounded in evidence. I look at the whole picture: your digestive symptoms, lifestyle, gut health history and test results, so we can make sense of what your body is telling you and build a plan that feels achievable in everyday life.
Many people arrive at this point feeling frustrated after trying elimination diets, supplements, or generic advice that never quite fits their situation. Whether your gut symptoms are linked to IBS, food intolerances, stress or something you haven’t been able to identify, my role is to take the pressure off and guide you step by step.
Through the gut brain axis, we know that stress, mood and digestion are deeply connected and I look at all of it, not just what’s on your plate.
My goal is simple: to help you feel good in your body again, with a plan that supports your digestion, energy, sleep, mood, and overall wellbeing, one step at a time.

The first step is the Initial Consultation, where we explore your digestive symptoms, health history, lifestyle and goals. I’ll recommend a treatment plan tailord to your unique needs which may include:

You’ll receive a personalised treatment protocol including nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, and ongoing support. I use Microba Microbiome Explorer tests. Microba’s technology delivers comprehensive gut microbiome profiling using next-generation metagenomic sequencing, which is the gold standard in gut microbiome research

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need testing for gut issues?
Not always. Personalised nutrition and lifestyle changes can improve digestion significantly on their own. However, microbiome testing provides detailed insight into your gut microbiome composition, gut dysbiosis and digestive markers, which means results are often more targeted and faster. After your Initial Consultation, I’ll recommend whether testing is right for you.
What are the signs of an unhealthy gut?
Common signs include chronic bloating or abdominal discomfort, reflux or acid reflux, constipation, loose stools or irregular bowel movements, IBS symptoms, food sensitivities or intolerances, fatigue and brain fog, poor sleep, skin breakouts, low immunity, mood changes, and unexplained weight gain. If several of these resonate with you, it may be worth exploring the root cause rather than managing symptoms alone.
How long before I notice improvements?
It varies depending on the symptoms. Many clients see improvements in the first weeks, and the treatment is continually adjusted to take into account your symptoms, response to treatment and lifestyle.
Do you offer online consultations
Yes, online appointments are available for clients Australia-wide.
How do I get started?
Book an initial consultation and I will review your health history, your current symptoms and lifestyle. From there, we will put together a plan that supports your health goals and gives you clear next steps.
What does Gut Health support cost?
The cost varies depending on the type of support and testing. The Initial Consultation fee is $185 and I’ll go through the most suitable treatment options and their pricing during your initial consultation.

Past Clients say…
Kim is an incredible coach: patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. She gently pointed out simple changes to my diet that I had been misguided into adopting, thinking I was making good choices. With her careful guidance, I am now more aware of foods I should avoid due to intolerances that I was previously unaware of, enabling me to make subtle substitutions that have had a significant impact on my wellbeing.
