Gut Health Services – Personalised Support in West Sussex & Online
Get To The Bottom Of Your Gut Symptoms
Your gut and your nervous system are talking to each other — most approaches only listen to one.
Available online or in person in Shoreham-by-Sea.
I just want to feel normal again
Somewhere along the way, low energy and discomfort just became normal — and you stopped being able to predict how your gut would behave. The constant unpredictability just keeps wearing you down, and you’re not fully living your life anymore — you’re managing it. It never used to be this hard.
No Two Days Are The Same — you never know how your gut’s going to behave
No Energy, No Motivation — even the things you want to do feel like too much
You’re Reacting – to things that never used to bother you
Everyone Online Says Something Different, and half of it contradicts the other half
Your Doctor Says Everything’s Normal. It doesn’t feel normal
Between Work & Everything Else, there’s little headspace left to think about food

Between Work & Everything Else
There’s little headspace left to think about food
Food is part of it, but rarely all of it.
What "Feeling Normal" Actually Looks Like
This isn’t about being symptom-free forever, or eating perfectly for life. It’s about feeling in control again — trusting your gut, trusting your choices, and having the energy to say yes to things, not just get through the day.
A gut you can trust again
You know how your gut’s going to behave, instead of hoping for the best.
Energy that actually lasts
With enough left over to do the things you love.
You have room to breathe
Life still throws things at you — but stress doesn’t spill over into your gut, skin, or sleep.
Confidence in what you eat
Choices that feel like yours, not a list of rules to follow.
This is what’s possible when your gut and your nervous system are both finally looked after.
You Don’t Have To Figure This Out Alone
If you want clarity on where to start, this is it. Whether you’re new to this or you’ve tried everything already, we’ll map out what makes sense for your symptoms and your life.
How We Work Together
Every path starts with a free Gut Conversation.
Not Sure Where to Start?
A free Gut Conversation is where we figure out what you actually need — no pressure, just clarity on your options.
From there, there are two ways to work together — one gives you a clear plan to take away and act on yourself, the other builds something together, over time.

Staying On Track
Regular Gut Check-Ins give you continued guidance and professional support as you build on what we’ve already established — whether you need accountability, help adjusting your approach when life gets in the way, or support with something new that comes up.
Looking after your health is an ongoing process, not just something you do when things go wrong.

Ready To Find Your Starting Point?
Whether it’s a Gut Clarity Session, the Gut Guidance Package, or you’re still not sure — a free online Gut Conversation is where we figure it out together.
Testing - When It Helps
Always optional. Recommended when the extra insight is genuinely useful.
Testing helps build the picture and works best alongside everything else we already know about you. When objective data would add something meaningful—food sensitivities, gut barrier markers, hormone patterns—we’ll discuss it during your Gut Conversation or consultations, and we’ll order it specifically for you.
Tests available include:
- Food sensitivity testing — looks at immune responses to specific foods and can provide additional information about foods worth exploring. It’s not a replacement for the gold-standard exclusion and reintroduction process, and results need to be interpreted alongside your symptoms, diet and wider health picture.
- Gut Barrier Panel — looks at markers associated with gut lining integrity — sometimes referred to as “leaky gut” — alongside yeast and inflammatory markers, giving us additional information to consider alongside your symptoms and wider health picture.
- Hormone Insights Test — a detailed look at hormone patterns, useful for understanding perimenopause, menopause, stress and cortisol rhythm, or sleep and energy issues
Prices range from £135–£335, depending on what’s clinically relevant for you.
Why Breathwork Belongs in Gut Health
Your gut and your nervous system are in constant conversation — which is why calming one without the other rarely lasts. Breathwork is part of how we work together from the beginning.
Rhythm-based practices, including drumming, help guide the body into a steadier, more regulated state — something you can learn to use yourself, long after we’ve stopped working together.

The Right Approach for You, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Philosophy
We work with whatever nutritional approach genuinely fits your needs and preferences — whether that’s lower-carb, plant-based, Mediterranean-style, or something else entirely. It’s the same with everything else: breathwork, movement, stress management, testing — all shaped around your health, your life stage, and how those needs shift over time. Some people have genuine medical needs, like coeliac disease. Others have preferences, like eating vegan or vegetarian. Gut-led, but never generic — because you’re complicated, individual, and what works for you is just as unique as you are.
Why Partner With The Jungle Goddess?
Choosing the right guide can make all the difference on your gut health journey. Here’s what sets my approach apart:
-
I’ve Been Where You Are — Living with Crohn’s disease has given me a real understanding of the frustration and uncertainty you’re facing — not just from studying it, but from living it.
-
I Refused to Accept the Limits — Crohn’s disease tried to wear me down and quietly erode how fully I could live. I refused to accept that as my reality — and I don’t accept it for my clients either. Whatever your chronic illness or symptoms are trying to take from you, there’s a way to hold onto your life anyway.
-
Expert Guidance, Grounded in Science — Qualified in nutrition and breathwork, I look beyond the symptoms themselves to understand what may be contributing to them.
-
A Plan Built Around You — Together, we build an approach that fits your life — one you understand well enough to keep adapting yourself, long after we’ve finished working together.

Client Stories
Every client here came to me because of their gut — bloating, pain, symptoms that had taken over their day-to-day. But once we started looking properly, the picture was almost always bigger than that. Energy that had quietly disappeared. A nervous system running on empty. Skin, sleep, confidence — all connected, all part of the same story. These are their words, in their own experience, of what changed.
I fought for years trying to get answers, but kept being sent away after tests came back normal. I was holding on by a thread, trying to hold down a stressful job while my quality of life fell apart. Nikkie was the first person who actually listened and helped me identify what was driving my symptoms. It wasn’t instant — my body resisted at first — but slowly I got my life back, and my diet and nutrition are finally on point.
As a fellow sufferer, Nikkie’s empathy came from lived experience, not just training. She worked out that my gallbladder removal meant my body struggled to digest fats — cutting these out made a difference from day one. No huge hurdles, just steady foundations for a healthier future.
Nikkie really helped me fine-tune what I needed to do and eat to cope with a recent coeliac disease diagnosis. She took the time to get to know me and adapted a very specific eating plan, tailored to me.
The programme was tailored to my needs, adapting whenever something wasn’t working. The turning point came when mornings stopped being lost to the bathroom, painkillers were no longer a daily need, and my energy started coming back. I’m now confident leaving home without fear of an accident.
My programme looked at every aspect of my health — breathwork, sleep, and nutrition made the biggest difference. I used to get breathless after just 7 holes; now I can play a full 18 without feeling tired. Getting back to golf has made a tremendous difference.
I’d struggled with eczema for as long as I can remember, and mainstream treatment only ever offered steroid creams — temporary relief, followed by withdrawal symptoms when I stopped. Nikkie looked at my whole situation, not just the skin, and within a short time of following her advice, my eczema had cleared. I finally have the confidence to wear what I want, and the itching that kept me up at night is gone.
I’d struggled with digestive issues for some time with little relief, and my quality of life was declining — I was feeling pretty hopeless. Nikkie’s own first-hand experience with digestive issues meant she knew exactly how debilitating they can be. Her expert knowledge and practical advice helped me get things under control, at a time when conventional healthcare was extremely difficult to access.
Your story could start the same way.
Frequently Asked Questions
You don’t need everything figured out before getting started. These questions cover the essentials — how the process works, what support looks like, and how we can tailor things to your needs. If you have any questions about my gut health services, don’t hesitate to reach out via my Contact Page.
What does working with you actually look like?
This is a collaborative process. I’ll bring the expertise, guidance and support, while you’ll play an active role in putting what we discuss into practice. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s going on and find an approach that fits your health, your priorities and your everyday life.
Where does your experience come from?
Living with Crohn’s disease since I was fifteen has shaped almost everything about how I work. After a health crisis years into my career, I decided to sell everything and travel — which led to nearly eleven years living on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. I trained in massage, craniosacral therapy, studied medicinal plants, ran a fermented food company, and trained in Reiki. That way of life shaped how I see things—living in the moment, valuing connection and real experience, and believing more is possible than most people assume.
I later retrained formally in nutrition, health coaching, and breathwork — the professional foundation everything I do is built on now. But that earlier chapter still shapes how I work: practical, embodied, and rooted in the belief that change is possible, because I’ve lived it myself.
Which service is right for me?
Your free Gut Conversation is where we work this out together.
As a general guide, a Gut Clarity Session suits a specific gut concern — like constipation or bloating — or personalised guidance on building a more gut-healthy approach to diet and lifestyle.
The Gut Guidance Package is designed for longer-standing or more complex gut issues, particularly when other things are going on alongside them — such as low energy, stress, skin problems, hormonal changes, or weight concerns. It gives us more time to explore the wider health picture, identify patterns and connections, and build the foundations for longer-term change.
Do you only work with the gut?
Rarely, even when that’s where it shows up. The gut doesn’t work in isolation — it’s shaped by your nervous system, your hormones, and how you’re living day to day. So while we usually start with the gut, the work looks at the patterns and connections across your wider health picture, not just one part.
Do you only focus on food?
No — food is part of it, but rarely all of it. We look at diet, lifestyle, daily behaviours, sleep, and stress alongside nutrition, because these all genuinely affect how you feel and how your gut behaves.
Do I need testing before I start working with you?
No — testing is always optional, and you never need it to begin. Where appropriate, testing can give us additional information to consider alongside your symptoms, diet and wider health picture.
I’ll only recommend testing when I think the information could genuinely add something useful, and we’ll always discuss what a result can — and can’t — tell us.
Can I work with you if I’m not local?
Absolutely. Most clients work with me online via Zoom, but if you’re local to Shoreham-by-Sea or Sussex, you’re welcome to come in person. My clinic hours are on Monday mornings.
My doctor says everything's normal, but I don't feel normal — can you still help?
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons people come to me. Doctors are essential for ruling out disease and anything serious, and that’s genuinely important. But once anything serious has been ruled out, ongoing functional issues — things like bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or disrupted sleep — often don’t get the same attention, even though they can seriously affect your quality of life. Doctors often look at one system at a time; I take a wider view, looking at how things like your gut, nervous system, hormones, diet and lifestyle may be interacting rather than considering each symptom in isolation.
What happens after Gut Clarity or Guidance ends?
Many clients choose to continue with Gut Check-Ins — regular sessions to help you stay on track. This gives us the chance to:
- Build on the foundations we’ve already created
- Adjust and refine your approach as your body responds
- Maintain accountability and consistency
- Keep going, with ongoing support, for as long as it’s genuinely useful
What if my symptoms are complex or long-term?
That’s not a barrier to working together. Many clients come to me with years of symptoms, several things happening at once, or the feeling that they’ve already tried everything.
We don’t need to tackle everything at once. The Gut Guidance Package gives us time to understand the wider picture, decide where it makes sense to begin, and establish strong foundations. From there, Gut Check-Ins allow us to keep working through things at a manageable pace for as long as the support remains useful.
If you’ve still got questions, a Gut Conversation is where we work through them together.
