Hi, I’m Fran.

I’m a Functional Nutritionist specialising in gut health.

I help people overcome digestive symptoms for good by getting to the root cause.

I use functional lab testing to do my detective work, and nutrient dense whole foods, lifestyle shifts and supplements to help restore the body’s natural balance.

By discovering what’s really going on instead of just slapping another quick-fix bandaid over you symptoms, you’ll finally experience lasting, sustainable results.

 We specialise in helping people with:

  • Digestive issues like IBS, IBD, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux, GERD/GORD, LPR and gastritis

  • Hormone-related concerns such as PMS, menstrual cramps, irregular cycles or missing periods and endometriosis

  • Skin issues like eczema, psoriasis or acne

  • Anxiety, brain fog and mood issues

“All disease begins in the gut”, and I take a root cause approach to overcoming digestive and gut-related symptoms.
