IBS isn’t just in your gut. It’s in your calendar, your energy, your confidence.

When stress spikes, symptoms do too.

Gut-directed hypnosis rewires the stress–gut loop so you can stop bracing for the next flare and start living with confidence, predictability, and freedom again.

The Real Struggle

You memorize bathroom locations like landmarks.

You second-guess every meal, wondering if it’s going to betray you.

You cancel plans, avoid trips, and silently calculate the risk every time you leave the house.

I know, because I’ve lived it too.


My IBS symptoms started years ago after I ate a bowl of fish soup that my grandmother had proudly made with a local fisherman’s catch. (Thanks, Grandma. Really.) For years, I felt like my body was unpredictable, unreliable, and constantly running the show.

It’s exhausting. And it’s isolating.
