Advanced Gut Health Restoration for Lasting Results.

You’re not alone. Many people continue to experience digestive and autoimmune challenges that conventional medicine hasn’t fully resolved. When quick fixes fall short, it’s time for a deeper, more holistic approach — and that’s where I come in.

Through my Gut Health Restoration Program, I guide clients who are ready to uncover and address the root causes of their symptoms. Using advanced functional testing, personalised treatment strategies, and targeted nutritional therapy, we create a clear path toward lasting wellness.

Navigating conflicting advice and ongoing symptoms can feel overwhelming. This program offers structure, clarity, and one‑to‑one support — empowering you to finally understand your body, restore balance, and reclaim your energy.

Why Work With The Gut Naturopath

With nearly a decade of clinical experience and a five‑star reputation, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to every client journey. Having overcome my own autoimmune conditions, I understand the complexity — and the hope — that come with gut healing.

My practice blends science‑based naturopathic medicine, functional testing, and tailored nutritional therapy to create deeply personalised treatment pathways. I’m passionate about the connection between the gut and the mind, and about helping clients rediscover joy in food and life through sustainable healing.

Working with clients across Australia, I offer a premium, personalised experience for those ready to invest fully in their long‑term health.

Common reasons why clients seek my help

Chronic Digestive Issues

I work with clients experiencing ongoing bloating, constipation, reflux, or IBS that standard approaches haven’t resolved — helping restore lasting comfort and confidence through my Gut Health Restoration Program.

A Holistic Approach

Healing starts at the root. My personalised programs combine functional testing, nutrition, and lifestyle therapy to create genuine, lasting change — not short‑term symptom relief.

Food Sensitivities

I help uncover and manage intolerances such as gluten or dairy, developing balanced food plans that heal the gut without restricting enjoyment or nutrition.

Autoimmune Conditions

With the gut‑immune connection at the centre, my strategies help calm inflammation, support immune balance, and reduce flare‑ups naturally.

Balancing the Gut Microbiome

Amid the noise of gut health advice, I offer clear, evidence‑based guidance to rebuild and sustain a thriving microbiome — the foundation of whole‑body wellness.

Here’s what you will gain

Personalised, Evidence‑Based Healing

Each client receives a deeply individualised approach to gut restoration — combining naturopathic medicine with advanced functional testing and clinical insight. Every element of your program is designed to address the underlying drivers of imbalance and guide you toward long‑term vitality.

Access to Advanced Testing

As part of your personalised plan, you’ll gain access to leading diagnostic tools, including Co‑Biome MetaXplore, FoodFit Hair Compatibility, and other targeted assessments. These insights allow us to design precise, data‑driven treatment strategies tailored to your unique biology.

Whole‑Body Wellness

Gut health influences every system in the body. Through your program, we’ll address interconnected concerns such as autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and immune resilience — supporting deep, systemic healing.

Nutritional Mastery

Food is both nourishment and medicine. You’ll learn how to use functional nutrition to repair and protect your gut, guided by personalised recommendations that make healthy eating both intuitive and enjoyable.

Application

Once your application is accepted, you’ll begin with a comprehensive Initial Consultation — a deep‑dive into your health history, symptoms, and goals. Before our first session, you’ll complete a detailed health assessment so I can tailor every aspect of your program to your unique needs.

  • “Jennie deserves every one of these stars! Jennie cared for my daughter who was recovering from a medical condition that is still not well understood. Whilst Jennie had not treated this condition before we were impressed by her wholistic, empathic and professional approach. Her interest in and care for her clients is genuine and her knowledge is broad. Jennie was warm and approachable with my daughter and supportive of us as a family.”

    Annah W., Melbourne

  • “Jennie helped me through a time where I was struggling with a diagnosis of coeliac disease after feeling sick for what feels like my 28 years of life. She was so helpful in aiding me in understanding what was happening to my body, what it would take to begin the journey in healing my gut and what the journey would look like here on out. Its been over 6 months now and I am feeling much better than I was, I have more energy, my skin is so much better, and I have even put on a healthy amount of weight after always being underweight! She is always kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jennie.”

    Ash C., Sydney

  • “Jennie at The Gut Naturopath (previously Forage Health), has helped me with a range of complaints. Through the use of herbal medicine, supplements and minor adjustments to my diet, Jennie has me back on track to feeling ‘well’ again. Her assessment and advice has been spot on, and her service has been second to none. I have noticed increased energy levels, reduction in bloating, significant improvement in my menstrual cycle (including a major reduction in cramps and pain), and have started to lose weight that I haven’t been able to shift for the last 3 years. Prior to seeing Jennie I had seen multiple doctors and had multiple ultrasounds and CT scans to try and figure out what was going on, all with no avail. Two months in to my journey and Jennie had me feeling better than I had in years. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked, like I have, give Jennie a call and start your journey to wellness!”
