“I saw improvements in my symptoms within the first few weeks of the program”

''I’ve had a long history of IBS, which has had a major impact on my life. I’ve had much anxiety over symptoms and regularly experienced fear of being unable to get to toilet facilities. I had tried many ways to manage the condition including the Low Fodmap diet, medications and other programs such as the Nerva mobile app.

I found Jayne to have a kind and compassionate manner. She quickly put me at ease. I started to have an improvement in symptoms within the first few weeks of the program. I like that Jayne personalised the program, making it relevant to my situation.

I have found that I am now more tuned into my thoughts and self talk around IBS, and realize how much unhelpful thinking perpetuates the condition. I now have more strategies to manage this unhelpful thinking. It has been useful to have Jayne’s hypnosis recordings, which I have continued to use after I finished the program.

I would recommend Jayne’s program to anyone struggling to manage IBS. For me, there was no down side.''

“I regained the freedom to cook and eat without anxiety or the fear of pain”

''I was either very constipated or had loose stools several times a day, almost every day. There was no in-between. I was in so much pain from trapped gas and had constant abdominal cramping and loud gurgling. I was truly miserable. I was also extremely anxious about food.
I had been tested for various gut issues including ulcers, celiac disease, and to rule out infection and inflammatory causes. I was also tested for hormonal imbalances. I tried several colon hydrotherapy/colonics sessions, acupuncture, peppermint teas and capsules, every herb, supplement, and tea I could find, and elimination diets including a low FODMAP diet which was suggested by a gastroenterologist. I also spent a significant chunk of my savings on a naturopathic doctor. Whilst I was able to sometimes get temporary relief, every practitioner seemed to have conflicting advice, and strict diets felt overwhelming and unsustainable.

Overtime I found myself spending more and more money on special foods and supplements, I grew much more anxious, lost weight, and continued to have lots of loose stools. I would rarely leave my house because I felt so weak all the time. And if I did go out I would have to pack a bag with all my pills, and make sure that I had food and snacks prepared. It was mentally, physically and emotionally overwhelming especially given that I felt even worse than before I started.

When I started searching for a new approach, I wanted to find a plan that was evidence-based and scientifically sound. When I first spoke with Jayne, the first thing that stood out was her patience in explaining the process and answering all my questions. She helped me to understand the plan, together with the benefits of CBT and gut-directed hypnotherapy. It also helped that she is a fellow former IBS sufferer and could relate to my struggle. Her gentle approach to healing was very different from everything else I had experienced. I felt truly heard, seen, and understood for the first time.

For the first time, I was challenged to be mindful about the story I was telling myself about my body, about food and its effect on me, and to redirect my thoughts from hopelessness and anxiety to curiosity. After years of being told so many foods were bad for me, it was refreshing to have her guide me gently out of food anxiety and back to the joy I used to feel about cooking and the freedom to choose what I could eat.
I noticed my symptoms improving after the first session. The loose stools were the first symptom to disappear completely. I went from going 7-8 times a day to maybe 2-3 times, to having no loose stools at all. Then I gradually became less anxious about food and even less anxious in general. After probably the second and third sessions, I noticed I didn't have any abdominal cramping at all, but I was still experiencing bloating and gas pain. The difference was, that in spite of it, I was able to challenge myself to eat normal, healthy foods and not to label foods as good or bad. I trusted the process to heal my mind and to trust that my body would once again regain control of proper digestion. I went from having those symptoms daily, to having several days in the week where I wasn't bloated at all and didn't have any symptoms.

After I completed The Calm Gut Program my family and friends noticed how much lighter I am in spirit and say yes more often to joining them on outings and gatherings, even enjoying meal-times together. I have also regained the freedom to cook and eat without anxiety or the fear of pain – which is truly priceless.

I highly recommend The Calm Gut Program with Jayne. I always felt safe and supported, and the calibre and quality of the treatment is well worth the investment and much much more. Jayne is not only knowledgeable and effective, but she is attentive and responsive. She is also flexible, respectful and compassionate. I know it might feel scary to try one more thing and to put your faith in something that is probably unlike anything else you have done before, but you owe it to yourself to try.''

I felt truly heard, seen, and understood for the first time.
