Hi, I’m Jess.

As a dedicated Clinical Naturopath (BHSc) at The Gut Project, I specialise in integrating natural health principles with evidence-based practices to support holistic wellbeing, with a particular focus on optimising gut health. I work with clients to uncover the root causes of digestive issues, such as IBS, food sensitivities, pathogenic overgrowth and gastrointestinal permeability, using a combination of nutritional guidance, herbal medicine and lifestyle modifications.

Having experienced my own chronic, debilitating gut conditions, I understand the frustration and isolation that comes with persistent digestive unease. Through Naturopathic medicine, I was able to identify the causes of my symptoms, restore balance to my body and reclaim my quality of life. This personal journey deeply fuels my passion to help others find lasting relief.

Through restoring balance to the gut microbiome, strengthening the integrity of the gut barrier and optimising the function of the gastrointestinal tract, I help clients achieve relief from pain & discomfort, improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, support mental wellbeing and reduce inflammation.

Passionate about fostering long-term health, I equip clients with both the knowledge to understand and confidence to feel in control of their health during our time together and beyond.

“The human body has a ringmaster. This ringmaster controls your digestion, your immunity, your brain, your weight, your health and even your happiness.

This ringmaster is the gut.”

— NANCY S. MURE, PhD

My approach is built upon three core principles

Identify the cause
Cleanse the system
Strengthen the terrain
Thorough Naturopathic assessment, functional testing, pathology analysis and consideration of factors including (but not limited to) medical history from birth, diet, lifestyle, trauma, environment, genetics, physical activity & the nervous system.
Addressing the foundations of diet & lifestyle, opening the detoxification pathways, optimising organ function and supporting the body with nutrients and herbal medicine.
A focus on restoring the integrity of the gut, nourishing the body and enhancing gastrointestinal function with the goal of achieving harmony within the gut ecology and promoting full body health.

“Before working with Jessica, I was constantly struggling with bloating, stomach pain and food sensitivities that made every meal feel like a gamble. She took the time to understand my unique situation and created a plan that took into account what I needed. Now I feel lighter, my digestion is so much better and I have the confidence to eat without fear. My energy and mood have improved too, which has helped me in other areas of life. I’m feeling so much better”.
