Struggling with IBS? You’re Not Alone—And You Don’t Have to Suffer Anymore

Are you living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and feeling trapped in a cycle of discomfort, emotional stress, and the constant worry of finding a bathroom?

I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel. And I want you to know—real relief is possible.

If any of this sounds familiar…

  • You feel fear because you know another IBS flare-up is just around the corner

  • You experience dread at the thought of going to work, attending social events, or traveling

  • You’ve felt humiliation from frequent bathroom trips

  • You’ve lived with embarrassment after leaving a bathroom and worrying about what others think

What if the root of your IBS isn’t just physical—but emotional?

It’s often overlooked, but unresolved stress, negative emotions, and past experiences can deeply affect gut function.
In fact, your subconscious mind may be holding on to patterns that are keeping your symptoms alive.

Gut Directed Hynpnotherapy

This unique, multi-pronged approach helps uncover and release the emotional and subconscious contributors to your IBS—without needing to rehash your entire past.

Imagine this:

  • Quickly dissolving the emotional programming contributing to your symptoms

  • Helping your gut calm down and self-regulate

  • Letting go of unconscious blocks like guilt, shame, grief, fear, or anxiety

  • Gaining freedom from the bathroom-based decisions that dominate your day

  • Feeling confident in your body again

This is not talk therapy. This is transformation.

Whether or not you’ve experienced what you’d call “trauma,” we all carry stored emotional tension—often tied to stress, shame, worry, or internalized pressure. My program is designed to help you release these emotional blocks quickly and gently so your body can return to balance.

No two people experience IBS the same way—so no two sessions are the same.
Your program is always customized to you, based on your symptoms, needs, and emotional landscape.

THE PALSSON METHOD CLINCIAL TRIALS

According to high-quality academic research, clinical hypnosis has been proven very effective at reducing the symptoms of IBS.  

Several clinical trials based on the work of Dr. Olafur S. Palsson and others at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have demonstrated the benefits of a scripted program for long-lasting improvement of bowel symptoms; particularly for patients who've been unresponsive to medical treatment.

While there's no guarantee of success, clinical trials have shown response rates of 73% to 94%, with benefits maintained at 6-, 10-, or 12-month follow-ups. That’s a pretty significant improvement in freeing yourself from the pain, embarrassment and discomfort caused by IBS.

WHAT IS GUT DIRECTED HYPNOTHERAPY (GBH)

Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy (GDH) helps restore healthy communication between the brain and the gut by working with the subconscious mind. For those with IBS, this miscommunication causes hypersensitivity, leading to symptoms like bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea, or a constant feeling of incomplete evacuation.

Using hypnosis, we calm the gut’s overreactive responses and retrain the mind-body connection—so your mind starts guiding your gut, instead of the other way around.

Every client is different. That’s why my program is personalized, combining proven techniques tailored to your unique symptoms and emotional needs.

Imagine no more pills or quick fixes—just a chance to relax, reset, and reclaim control through the natural power of your own mind.

The Gut–Brain Connection: Why Your IBS Is More Than Just a Digestive Issue

Your gut health, emotional wellbeing, and mental health are deeply connected.
In fact, your brain and your gut are in constant communication, sending signals back and forth through a powerful, built-in messaging system.

This system is made possible by the vagus nerve—a long, bi-directional nerve that acts like a high-speed internet cable, linking your brain to your digestive system. Alongside this, your gut microbiome (the beneficial microorganisms living in your gut) and chemical messengers like neurotransmitters also play a key role in this two-way communication.

Within your gut lies the enteric nervous system—sometimes called your "second brain"—a network of over 100 million neurons that controls digestion independently, yet in constant conversation with your central nervous system.

When Gut-Brain Communication Breaks Down, IBS Shows Up

If you suffer from IBS, chances are there’s a disruption in this gut-brain communication loop.

This miscommunication can lead to hyper-reactivity in your enteric nervous system, causing your gut to overreact to even minor triggers like stress, certain foods, or emotional shifts.
That hyper-reactivity is what leads to common IBS symptoms like:

  • Cramping

  • Bloating

  • Constipation or diarrhea

  • Gas and digestive discomfort

  • Urgency or incomplete elimination

By calming this internal miscommunication and restoring balance between your gut and your mind, gut-directed hypnotherapy helps reduce that hypersensitive response—naturally and effectively.

Relief from IBS Is Possible – Especially for Women Who Feel Stuck and Overwhelmed

Why do I help women with IBS? Because 1 in 5 women in North America suffers from digestive issues—and many suffer in silence.

While IBS can affect anyone, it’s significantly more common in women.
For many, the symptoms begin in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood—and for others, they flare up during hormonal shifts, stress, or the change of life. No matter when it started, one thing is clear:

IBS can take over your life.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Bloating that makes you dread wearing anything fitted

  • Gas or belching that makes social events uncomfortable

  • Constipation, diarrhea—or both—making it hard to plan your day

  • Sharp gut-wrenching cramps that stop you in your tracks

  • Embarrassment about your body’s unpredictability

  • The fear of “Where’s the nearest bathroom?” becoming a constant companion

If any of this resonates… you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep living like this.

IBS Isn’t Just a Digestive Issue—It’s an Emotional One Too

What if your physical symptoms were signals from your subconscious, asking for emotional relief and support?

That’s where gut-directed hypnotherapy comes in.
It’s a gentle, safe, and natural way to calm the nervous system, reset the gut-brain connection, and help your body return to a more balanced state of function and flow.

Imagine Finding Relief By...

  • Letting go of negative emotions like guilt, shame, or overwhelm

  • Neutralizing past stressful experiences that trigger flare-ups

  • Releasing stuffed-away feelings that have been trapped in your gut

  • Rewiring your brain to focus on how you want to feel—not what you fear

  • Feeling in control of your body, your digestion, and your day

  • Eliminating the urge to self-sabotage with trigger foods

  • Letting go of the fear of what others think about your bathroom habits

IBS Doesn't Have to Control You Anymore

You can experience the calm, confident digestive health you deserve.
