sound familiar?
You're ready to end the debilitating IBS flare-ups, but you feel like you've already tried everything...
From the low FODMAP diet to expensive supplements to prescription and over the counter medication. Maybe you just have to live the rest of your life with unpredictable flare-ups and all that comes with them? I get it — you're completely fed up.
The Calm Gut Program is a unique blend of gut-directed hypnotherapy, CBT and wellness coaching backed by science and 40 years of evidence. My approach goes beyond nutrition and food — instead we focus on the underlying reason for your IBS symptoms: the miscommunication happening between your gut and brain.
No matter how long you've been struggling with IBS, I'm here to guide you through a proven process of getting long-term relief — without restrictive diets or medications.

Who this is for
The Calm Gut Program is for you if...
You are tired of following restrictive diets and living off a small list of "safe" foods. You want to get back eating off a menu, enjoying meals out with friends, and not asking "can I eat this?" every day.
You've lost confidence and trust in your body. You've forgotten what it's like to go to the toilet when you're ready — instead of your gut telling you when it's time.
Your IBS is stopping you saying yes to weekends away, new opportunities and nights out. You've been caught away from home one too many times and it just feels easier to say no.
Your gut symptoms flare up at the slightest amount of stress and you feel caught in a never-ending cycle of anxiety and gut issues — desperately trying to break the pattern.
You rely on medication just to leave the house — laxatives, anti-spasmodics or anti-diarrheals always on hand. Despite the side effects, you can't imagine life without them.
You're tired of being the "odd one out" — eating differently, disappearing to bathrooms, always cancelling plans at the last minute. You want your normal life back.
i'm ready to get started
I had spent 21 years struggling with IBS. I noticed changes after the very first session. I can now leave my house to catch up with friends without any of the urgency or anxiety I used to experience.

What is gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS — and why does it work?
At its heart, IBS is a Dysfunction of the Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) — which means there is nothing physically wrong with your bowel. The problem is a miscommunication between your gut and brain that causes hypersensitivity, pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhoea.
Diets and medications don't fix this miscommunication — they only manage symptoms. Gut-directed hypnotherapy retrains the way your brain interprets signals from your gut, calming the nervous system and restoring normal bowel function.
Research has shown gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS can be as effective as the low FODMAP diet — and more effective than laxatives and antispasmodics. It has been endorsed by the American College of Gastroenterology for treating IBS.

How we transform your IBS
the process
1.
Restore inner balance
We calm and rebalance your nervous system using gut-directed hypnotherapy — changing how your gut responds to pain, reducing sensitivity, and normalising bowel speed whether you have IBS-C, IBS-D or both.
2.
Reframe inner dialogue
Using CBT for IBS, we address the anxious thoughts and hypervigilance keeping you in the stress-symptom cycle — easing your body out of "fight or flight" and back into "rest and digest".
3.
Rebuild inner trust
We rebuild your confidence in your body — moving you away from avoidance and safety-seeking so you can eat out, travel, say yes to social situations, and finally stop letting IBS dictate what you do and where you go.
Work with me 1:1 over 6 personalised sessions to retrain the gut–brain connection driving your symptoms. Using a blend of gut-directed hypnotherapy, CBT and evidence-based coaching, we restore normal bowel function, ease pain and reduce bloating.

Everything inside the 6-session program
What's included
We work together to identify your primary areas of focus and create a personalised roadmap for regaining control over your IBS. You'll also experience your first gut-directed hypnotherapy session — guided into a relaxed and focused state for around 25 minutes, the optimal time for hypnosis.
1 × 60–90 minute initial consultation (Zoom)
Every 1–2 weeks we meet for your follow-up gut-directed hypnotherapy consultations. Each session combines around 35 minutes of CBT coaching and 25 minutes of personalised hypnotherapy — helping you break the vicious cycle of IBS symptoms you're currently stuck in.
5 × 60 minute follow-up consultations (Zoom)
Provided after sessions 1, 3 and 5 and selected based on where you most need support. Listen daily between appointments — these recordings are a key part of the program as they regulate the gut-brain axis so your brain and gut start communicating as they should.
3 × support audio recordings
Every session is recorded and available to download after each appointment — so you can revisit and reinforce the positive changes in your mind and body whenever you need.
6 × recorded Zoom sessions to keep
Between sessions you'll receive worksheets, resources and evidence-based exercises to complete — helping you put new skills into practice and build your own self-help toolkit for long-term success.

Before working with Jayne I honestly can't remember a time my stomach didn't hurt. Since working together I now live free of anxiety related to IBS. The tools and support she gave me were invaluable.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS
There are 2 basic criteria to working together inside of The Calm Gut Program. Firstly, you experience gut issues and have been diagnosed with IBS. And secondly, your symptoms are causing you some form of distress. No referral is required to work with me.
That’s completely normal, especially given it’s a new experience for you. When we start working together I’ll take you through everything you need to know and answer all your questions. Your comfort is my priority.
Yes. It is a great complement to existing treatments which you may be receiving through your medical doctor or other specialist. I frequently work with clients who are already working with nutritionists or gastroenterologists.
If you are new to gut directed hypnotherapy and CBT, and how these two mind-gut therapies are used to reduce IBS symptoms then you can read all about them here: Gut Directed Hypnotherapy for IBS & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for IBS.
In my experience the symptom reduction my clients achieve is long lasting. Furthermore a study in 2003 found that 81% of patients who completed a course of gut-directed hypnotherapy were still improved 5 years later without further intervention.
All you need to work with me is your mobile phone and good internet connection. Ideally, a computer or iPad is preferred when working 1:1 so that you can keep your hands free. Headphones are also recommended, but are not essential. No other equipment is needed.
Hypnotherapy is very safe, however hypnosis may not be appropriate in people with severe mental illness.
Be reassured that it works the same way as if we were in the room together, with the added benefit that you get to relax in the comfort of your own home. In fact, many of my clients prefer online hypnotherapy. In addition, once your eyes are closed it doesn't matter where I am, as my voice will guide you throughout. Research also supports online gut directed hypnotherapy as being equally as effective as face-to-face appointments. I've also been doing this work for several years, and clients achieve the same great results with virtual therapy.
Many of my clients come to me after years of trying restrictive diets or being put on countless different medications by their doctor to try and manage their symptoms. Unfortunately these measures are often unsuccessful. But here’s what I want you to know. The reason you haven’t found relief from IBS yet is that you have been focusing entirely on the symptoms, and not on the underlying reason for these symptoms – which is the miscommunication happening between your gut and your brain.
I’VE JUST HAD HYPNOTHERAPY FOR IBS IN THE PAST AND I DIDN’T SEE ANY CHANGES. WILL WORKING WITH YOU BE DIFFERENT?
If you have undergone a program of hypnotherapy for IBS in the past but not seen a reduction in symptoms, or you are still experiencing gut issues, please get in touch. It’s important for me to understand more about the treatment you have received so that I can give you my informed opinion. From time to time I work with clients who have previously worked with other therapists for IBS or have used hypnotherapy apps such as Nerva, and they have all responded successfully to my method.
I work with clients from all around the world including those from countries where English is not their first language. So long as you are fairly fluent in English, there is no reason why we cannot work together. However, if you have any concerns or questions about this, please get in touch.
