How Hypnotherapy Can Help Calm Your Gut
Did you know that your gut and your mind are constantly talking to each other?
It’s called the gut-brain connection, and it’s why stress, anxiety, or even certain thoughts can affect your digestion.
Our gut-directed hypnotherapy program is based on a highly successful, research-backed approach that helps calm your digestive system by working directly with your unconscious mind.
You’ll be gently guided into a deeply relaxed state — where your body begins to shift from stress mode into healing mode. From there, we use imagery and suggestion to help your gut:
-
Relax and let go of tension
Say goodbye to built-up stress as your body softens and your nervous system begins to regulate and unwind.
-
Restore healthy movement and rhythm
Encourage gentle, natural flow in your digestive system to support regularity and ease.
-
Rebalance your gut-brain connection
Support harmony between mind and body to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.
-
Reduce pain, bloating, urgency, and discomfort
Find real, lasting relief from the symptoms that have been holding you back.

Client Results
My anxiety has dropped, I feel grounded and much more in control of my life in general. My IBS symptoms seem to be under control. I have learned how to breathe, relax and visualise.
She truly is wonder woman and has the calmest and most welcoming nature to her. I couldn't be more grateful for her giving me my life and strength back after the hardest two year struggle of my life. Leonie is AMAZING at what she does and I believe can help anyone in need. Pure magic and talent 10 out of 10.
After a very stressful year I suffered with IBS and acute anxiety which led me to visit Leonie. I felt myself improving each week. The therapy tapes provided were extremely helpful. By the end of the course my health was much better and I was ready to face life again.

Meet Your Expert
Hi, I’m Leonie, Clinical Hypnotherapist and creator of The Rest and Digest Healing Pathway.
With over 12 years of clinical experience, I’ve helped clients navigate everything from IBS and chronic pain to anxiety, low mood, and sleep issues. Time and time again, I saw the same truth play out: you can’t heal a gut that’s stuck in survival mode.
That’s why I created The Rest and Digest Healing Pathway, a gentle yet powerful approach designed to calm your nervous system, reconnect you to your body, and ease the tension that perpetuates digestive symptoms.
We often forget that our gut is our second brain, rich with nerve endings, constantly communicating with the mind. When it's overwhelmed, we don’t just feel it in our stomachs… we feel it in our mood, energy, focus, and even sleep.
Through targeted hypnotherapy, nervous system support, and evidence-based mind-body tools, my clients experience relief from symptoms like bloating, urgency, discomfort, and chronic pain without constant restriction, overwhelm and even medication!
Because when your body consistently feels safe, your gut can finally heal.
If you’re ready to stop managing symptoms and start transforming them, The Rest and Digest Healing Pathway is here to support you, every step of the way.
Your gut knows how to heal. Let’s remind it how.
Start today and feel the shift from
discomfort to calm,
one session at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve tried everything. How is this different?
Unlike treatments that only focus on diet or symptoms, The Rest and Digest Healing Pathway addresses the root cause: your nervous system. By calming the gut-brain connection, we create a safe environment for your body to actually heal, not just cope.
How soon will I feel results?
Many people begin to notice a shift within the first few sessions, feeling more relaxed, less bloated, and more in tune with their body. That said, every gut (and nervous system) is different. The beauty of this method is that results often build week by week, creating long-term change.
What if I don’t have time to use it?
The Rest and Digest Healing Pathway is intentionally designed to fit your life, not take it over. Sessions are short, flexible, and easy to follow, whether you're at home, on a lunch break, or winding down for the night.
Is this just hypnotherapy?
Nope - it’s much more than that. While clinical gut-directed hypnotherapy is a key part of the method, it’s combined with nervous system regulation, breathwork, and practical mind-body tools you can use anytime, anywhere.
Do I have to change my diet to see results?
Not necessarily. This method works even if you’re already following a diet or not following one at all. It’s about calming the internal environment first, so your body can respond better to any changes you choose to make.
What if I have anxiety or trauma, will this still help?
Absolutely. In fact, The Rest and Digest Healing Pathway is ideal for people with anxiety or a history of stress-related conditions. It’s trauma-informed, gentle, and designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Is this backed by science?
Yes! Gut-directed hypnotherapy and vagus nerve work are both supported by clinical research as effective tools for managing IBS, functional gut issues, and chronic pain. I’ve combined these with over a decade of real-world client experience.
Can this help with all stomach conditions?
The Rest and Digest Healing Pathway is designed to support a wide range of digestive issues, including IBS, bloating, urgency, and even inflammatory conditions like Crohn’s disease. While it’s not a cure or replacement for medical treatment, it works alongside your care plan to help reduce flare-ups, calm inflammation, and ease the nervous system’s role in symptom intensity. Many clients find that by creating a sense of internal safety, their bodies actually reduce or stop all symptoms completely after hypnotherapy.
