Stool patterns are one of the clearest indicators of how digestion is functioning internally.

When stools are consistently slow or consistently too fast, it suggests that digestive processes are not moving as smoothly as they should.

This may reflect sensitivity to certain foods, imbalance within the gut or disruption in how digestion is working. There is rarely a single contributing factor.

The message itself is straightforward.
Something is not quite right.

When these patterns persist over time, they are worth noticing rather than ignoring or simply adapting to discomfort.

28/01/2026

From a whole person perspective, listening to the body is about recognising patterns rather than reacting to isolated symptoms.

Digestive symptoms that repeat over time can offer insight into motility, daily rhythms and the influence of the nervous system on digestion.

This way of listening shifts the focus away from suppression and towards understanding.

When patterns are recognised, support can be more responsive, individual and sustainable.

22/01/2026

Many people live with ongoing digestive symptoms that are managed day to day without being fully explored.

Bloating, altered bowel habits, abdominal discomfort and post meal fatigue are often treated as inconveniences rather than information.

When symptoms are familiar, it is easy to live with them rather than listen to what the body is communicating.
From a whole person perspective, these signals offer valuable insight into digestive function and nervous system regulation.

Listening is not about analysing symptoms in isolation.
It is about awareness, reconnection and supporting the body in a more responsive way.

This is where sustainable digestive health begins.

20/01/2026

As the year settles in, many people find themselves back in routine, yet still feeling disconnected from their body.

The body is always communicating. What often changes is how clearly those signals are recognised and understood.

Through digestion.
Through energy levels.
Through subtle signs that can be easy to overlook when symptoms have been present for some time.

My work this year is centred around supporting people to reconnect with their body, digestion and the signals that guide sustainable, whole person health.

Meaningful change often begins not with doing more, but with listening.

Your 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 are constantly communicating, working together to regulate digestion, mood and energy. When stress levels rise, that connection weakens and the body often responds with bloating, discomfort or changes in appetite and bowel habits.

𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 of how your body reacts to both food and emotion is an important step in restoring balance. Notice what happens after meals, how your body feels when you eat in a hurry and how stress affects your digestion. These quiet observations can reveal patterns that guide you toward better health.

Creating calm around mealtimes, eating slowly, and choosing foods that truly nourish your body can all help strengthen this 𝐠𝐮𝐭–𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and support smoother digestion.

A 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is that nutritionists only give meal plans or help with weight loss. But there is much more to it.

As a clinical nutritionist, I look at what is 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 beneath the surface. This includes interpreting blood and functional test results, supporting gut health, considering lifestyle stressors and identifying nutritional imbalances.

One client came to me with fatigue and digestive issues. Her GP suggested she “𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭” on a high TSH result. We requested a full thyroid panel, which confirmed Hashimoto’s.

About 𝟐𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 of thyroid hormone is converted in the gut, so when digestion is not working well, energy, mood and metabolism can all be affected.

It is not just what you eat. It is whether your body can break it down, absorb it and use it.

If you feel like something is being missed, 𝐃𝐌 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝟏𝟓-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 to explore what is really going on.

Most people come to me because they want more from life. More energy, better digestion, deeper sleep or simply to feel like themselves again.

But true health is about more than food or supplements. It is about 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰.

At Healing Naturally, I look at the full picture.

Nutrition supports the body, Counselling helps process emotions and Reiki restores balance on all levels.
Each person’s health journey is unique. That is why I meet my clients where they are and bring together the right tools for their needs.

I also offer 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, along with a thorough client history, to get to the root cause of ongoing health struggles. From there, I create a personalised strategy to help clients move forward with confidence and clarity.

Health is not just about fixing symptoms. It is about healing the whole so you can function and live fully.

If you are looking for more balance in your health journey, I would love to help. Book a free 15-minute Lifestyle Connect call to see what is possible for you. Contact me at 𝐡𝐚𝐳𝐞𝐥@𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.𝐜𝐨.𝐧𝐳 or visit 𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞.𝐜𝐨𝐦/𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲 to book.

𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰

Have you ever felt like you're fighting your body? Pushing through bloating, discomfort or exhaustion, hoping it will just sort itself out? 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 only makes these things 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭. I see it all the time with gut health when the signs are ignored even when change could help.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟, instead of restriction and frustration, you focused on flow? Small intentional shifts in food, sleep, stress and movement can make all the difference.

What small step could you take today to bring more balance into your life? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Back when I was studying, one of my favourite projects was all about 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ𝑦 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑦𝑙𝑒𝑠. We used the 𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑙, looking at areas like physical, emotional, spiritual, social, occupational, and intellectual to assess our overall balance.

For the project, my participants and I rated our sense of balance in each area.

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 was a big focus for me. I realised I needed to be more present and release past worries. And most of all, I needed to make time for relaxation and fun!

𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠, shifting daily depending on health, stress, priorities, and motivation.

So, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦?

Feeling off balance and need some guidance? If this strikes a chord, send me a message.
