Reflux and Acid Reflux Support with a Registered Nutritional Therapist

Is reflux controlling your life?
Fix the cause - not just mask the burn.

If you’re living with ongoing reflux, heartburn,  indigestion, bloating, chest discomfort or a chronic cough - and you’re fed up of managing symptoms instead of fixing the problem - you’re in the right place.

You Might Be Surprised…

Reflux isn’t always caused by too much stomach acid.
In fact, for many people, it’s the opposite.

Many clients come to me after years on medication, avoiding foods, sleeping propped up on pillows - yet the reflux keeps returning. That’s usually because the root cause hasn’t been addressed.

Reflux doesn't always look like heartburn...

  • Burning chest or throat

  • Acid taste or regurgitation

  • Chronic cough or throat clearing

  • Hoarse voice

  • Feeling overly full after meals

  • Bloating and burping

  • Tight chest or breathlessness (often mistaken for anxiety)

  • Poor sleep due to night-time reflux

​​​

If you’ve been told everything looks normal but you still don’t feel right - this is exactly where functional nutrition helps.

​​

Why meds alone aren’t enough

  • PPIs and antacids can help short-term

  • But they don’t correct digestion, motility, or gut health

  • Long-term use can create new digestive issues

​​

Medication has its place, but it’s rarely the whole solution.​​​

My Approach...

How I work:

I work with your body, not against it - rebuilding digestion, calming the gut, and helping you eat with confidence again:

  • 1:1 personalised assessment

  • Food, digestion, stress, lifestyle all considered

  • No generic reflux diet

  • No extreme elimination unless needed

  • Support that fits real life

Who this is for?

​This is for you if:

  • Anyone who feels restricted or anxious around food due to reflux

  • You’ve had reflux, heartburn or indigestion for months or years

  • Medication isn’t solving it

  • You want a clear plan, not guesswork

  • You’re willing to make changes (without perfection)

  • You're looking to reduce or come off PPI medication safely and with professional guidance (Any changes to medication are always made gradually and in line with medical guidance. Do NOT attempt to stop PPI medication on your own.)

​​​​

Not for:

  • Someone looking for a quick fix

  • Someone unwilling to adjust food or lifestyle at all

If this is the support you have been looking for, book a free Reflux Clarity Call and we can discuss how to start with your personalised reflux programme.​​​​

The Reflux Programme

This is a calm, structured, evidence-informed programme that works with your body to restore digestion, reduce reflux symptoms, and help you feel confident around food again.

This is a 1:1 programme delivered over approximately 8 weeks, with support between sessions to help you implement changes safely and confidently. This programme is suitable for both men and women. 

What’s included

Initial consultation: 90 minutes

 

A deep dive into your health history, symptoms, digestion, lifestyle, stress, sleep, and current medication use. We’ll identify likely drivers of your reflux and agree clear, realistic priorities.

You’ll leave this session with:

  • clarity around what’s contributing to your symptoms

  • immediate, practical steps to start calming reflux

  • a personalised plan tailored to you

Follow-up consultations: 4 x 30 minutes
These sessions are used to:

  • review progress and symptoms

  • adjust your plan as your digestion responds

  • support gradual, sustainable change

  • build confidence around food and daily habits

Sessions are spaced to allow your body time to respond without feeling overwhelmed.

What we’ll work on together

Depending on your individual needs, this may include:

  • improving digestive function and stomach acid balance

  • reducing pressure and irritation in the upper digestive tract

  • calming the gut–brain connection and stress response

  • identifying food patterns and triggers without unnecessary restriction

  • supporting sleep and reducing night-time reflux

  • rebuilding confidence around eating and social situations

  • creating a long-term plan to prevent relapse​

About medication support

Medication has an important role for many people with reflux.

Where appropriate, this programme can support:

  • understanding whether medication is still needed

  • gradual reduction of PPIs under guidance

  • strategies to reduce rebound symptoms

Any medication changes are always made cautiously and in line with medical guidance.

The outcome

By the end of the programme, clients commonly report:

  • reduced reflux symptoms

  • improved digestion and comfort after meals

  • better sleep

  • less fear around food

  • a clear, personalised plan for managing reflux long-term
