Innately YOU –
Gut Heal
Your gut is quite literally at the root of your health. Gut health is more than digestive health – it's the foundation of optimal immunity, energy, mood, cognition, hormones, skin, and overall wellness. Yet for so many people, digestive symptoms and gut health remain a source of frustration, discomfort, and unanswered questions.
Five-month Gut Heal
Innately YOU – Gut Heal is your five-month healing journey that investigates and pinpoints the root causes of your digestive discomfort and gut-related health issues. Through advanced stool testing panels, we begin to understand your gut health through the lens of your microbiome and specific intestinal health markers. This detailed information, combined with a thorough personal health history, lays the foundation for your truly individualised roadmap to long-lasting gut and whole-body health.
Optional add-on: DNA Gut genetic testing, to uncover the deeper genetic "why" behind your gut health – see full package details below.
Who is this for:
Bloating, gas, or unpredictable bowel habits have become your new normal
You've tried elimination diets, probiotics, or generic gut protocols – with little lasting change
Reflux, stomach pain and food intolerances show up more often than you’d like
Your mood, skin, energy, or hormones just haven't felt balanced in a while
You've had gut issues since a bout of food poisoning, travel bug, or course of antibiotics
You've been told your tests are "normal", but you still don't feel right
You're managing an autoimmune condition and suspect your gut is part of the picture
You're proactive about your health and want a real, personalised deep dive into your gut and overall health
What’s Included in
Innately YOU – Gut Heal:
-
A deep dive into your health history, goals, lifestyle, and past pathology.
-
1x personalised Microbiome Mapping & Comprehensive Stool Analysis test
NOTE: the cost of this test is additional to the cost of this package.
-
1x dedicated Functional Test Review Consultation – Microbiome Mapping and Comprehensive Stool Analysis Report (60 minutes) – your results explained clearly, thoroughly, and in a way that makes sense to you.
You will receive a detailed individual test report plus a statement of key findings and interpretations.
Your initial personalised Naturopathic Gut-Care Plan is developed that incorporates these findings, your symptoms and pathology, and delivers a clear path forward in your gut health journey.
NOTE: further pathology testing may be discussed and requested based on these results, your symptoms and health history
Optional DNA Gut Add-on: if you've chosen to add on DNA Gut, we will add another Functional Test Review consultation to discuss your results in detail, provide you with your DNA Gut report, and outline your key findings (NB: additional cost of $350 + cost of DNA Gut test $423).
-
3x Return Consultations (60 minutes) – through these appointments we check in on how your Naturopathic Gut-Care Plan is going, and progress and tweak that plan as we progress you through your gut healing protocol.
You will also receive resources to help you understand and support your gut health, such as information on gut-friendly foods and recipes, how to reduce your toxin-load, stress management, etc.
* If you choose to add-on the DNA Gut test, we also focus on an area of your genetic blueprint and biology that has been identified as requiring a deeper level of support in obtaining overall gut health (e.g. how to navigate gut-specific genes, nervous system and stress response, detoxification and toxin load, etc).
-
Personalised Naturopathic Gut-Care Plans – your evolving, practical Naturopathic protocol for lasting change that’s developed specifically based on your presentation, pathology results, microbiome mapping test results, health needs and goals. Each appointment and check-in will assess the progress of these plans and they will be adjusted as needed to ensure you are obtaining the results you desire.
-
2x Optional Check-In Appointments (20-30 minutes) – these appointments are there for when you feel you need the extra support and clarification about your Naturopathic Care Plans or health journey. My clients will often book one check-in appointment early in the process and book the other at the end of the package to discuss their next health strategies.
-
VIP direct messaging support – your practitioner in your corner, every step of the way; you are able to message me directly via your patient portal on the Practice Better app with any concerns or questions you may have, and I will prioritise your response (Monday to Friday).

Innately YOU – Gut Heal is your five-month healing journey that investigates and pinpoints the root causes of your digestive discomfort and gut-related health issues.
Please note: the cost of your microbiome mapping and comprehensive stool analysis test, supplements and herbal medicines are additional; an advanced stool test costs approximately $500 (plus postage & handling) depending on the test recommended for you – see FAQs for details.
Advanced Stool Testing – A window into your health, a doorway into wellness.
Discover the root causes of your digestive issues, autoimmunity, and fatigue – plus brain fog, mood issues, skin concerns, hormonal imbalances and other chronic health concerns – using advanced stool testing with personalised insights from an experienced clinical naturopath.
What your test includes:
Through advanced stool analysis, your test will report on:
Bacterial pathogens
Parasites, yeast, and viral pathogens
Helicobacter pylori
The amount and diversity of beneficial bacteria
Opportunistic microbes (dysbiotic bacteria, commensal overgrowths, bacteria associated with inflammation and autoimmunity)
Intestinal health markers:
Digestive markers (digestive enzymes, fat digestion)
Markers of intestinal permeability, including zonulin (think “leaky gut”)
Immune response markers
Inflammation markers
Detoxification marker (think detox of hormones and toxins)
Functionality of your microbiome, liver and gallbladder (reports on bile acids and short chain fatty acids)
A functional gut test provides key insights into both the composition and functional output of your gut microbiome and gut in general. This information forms the basis of your personalised Naturopathic Gut-Care plan – a clear, clinically relevant plan that addresses the root cause of your gut-related health issues, rather than just managing symptoms.
DNA Gut by DNA Life – Your Gut's Genetic Blueprint.
While the advanced stool test shows us what is happening in your gut right now, the DNA Gut test from DNA Life reveals the deeper why – the genetic factors that may have been influencing your gut and overall health your entire life.
DNA Gut tests and reports on evidence-based, clinically useful human genetic variants that predispose individuals to alterations in gut homeostasis – alterations known to have negative consequences for human health. The report offers personalised diet, lifestyle, and nutraceutical interventions to support relevant pathways and help you achieve and maintain a healthy and resilient gastrointestinal tract.
The DNA Gut test assesses 26 genetic variants across the Five DNA Gut Health Pillars:
Motility — how efficiently your gut moves
Pathobionts — genetic susceptibility to harmful microorganisms
Microbial metabolite production — how your body processes the byproducts of gut bacteria
Gut barrier integrity — the strength and resilience of your gut lining
Immune function — how your immune system interacts with your gut environment
The report provides colour-coded areas of potential risk, gene and genotype-specific information that is evidence-based and clinically relevant, clear explanations and visuals for each gene variant and pathway, and targeted recommendations for diet, supplements, probiotics, and lifestyle.
Why these two tests together are so powerful
Knowing the exact make-up of a patient's gut and genes, and how they process different compounds, provides incredible insight that enables precise lifestyle and nutrition recommendations and informed decisions about different treatment options.
The Advanced stool testing tells us what is happening. The DNA Gut test tells us why it may be happening, and what your body may need support with ongoingly. Used together within the Innately YOU – Gut Heal package, they allow us to build both a targeted short-term protocol to address your current gut environment, and a long-term, epigenetically informed plan that supports your gut health for life.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Before you commit to any Innately YOU package, I recommend you book in for a 30-minute Discovery & Strategy Session to discuss the most suitable options for your health needs and goals. This way, we can both be assured that the package you choose is the right one for you.
-
Yes, this session is complimentary. Investing in your health is a big decision, and I want you to feel completely confident before you commit to any Innately YOU package. This 30-minute session gives us the space to really talk through what you've been experiencing, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping to achieve – so together we can work out which package genuinely fits your needs, your goals, and your season of life. There's no pressure and no obligation; my priority is making sure that if you do invest in a package, it's the right one for you.
-
Yes! You can either pay for the package in full when you book your initial appointment, or you can subscribe to a payment plan. The payment plan available is a $600 deposit plus 4 monthly payments of $300.
-
If you had your microbiome tested via an approved testing method and company (e.g. GI Map + Stool OMX; Microba, GI360) within the last three months, we may be able to utilise those results. However, this is very dependent on the test that was performed and what has occurred for you since testing. Please feel free to discuss this during your Discovery and Strategy Session.
-
I believe in a collaborate care health model and take the time to follow up your health concerns with your primary care physician whenever appropriate and with your approval. If your test results or presentation indicate something that requires further investigation, I will let you know clearly and, where appropriate, provide a referral or recommendation for further medical follow-up alongside your Naturopathic Care Plan.
-
An advanced stool test costs approximately $500* depending on the functional stool test best suited to you and your health presentation. These costs are direct from the testing companies to you – your practitioner is not involved in the costing of functional tests.
The cost of supplements and herbal medicines varies significantly between patients and honestly depends on your presentation, test results, and current circumstances. Supplements and herbal medicines are always discussed with you prior to prescription to ensure you're comfortable with the recommendations and costs involved.
* Testing companies may change their pricing over time.
-
The cost of your DNA Gut test is approximately $423* (including postage and handling) – this test is directly paid by you via an online referral I complete with RN Labs in Australia. In order to fully understand your individual results and how they pertain to your gut health, therefore overall health, we would need to include an additional Functional Test Review consultation in your package ($350). The DNA Gut add-on can be ordered at any time during your Innately YOU – Gut Heal package.
Note: there is a 4-6 week turnaround time for the results of your DNA Gut blueprint to be available.
* Testing companies may change their pricing over time.
-
All of the above! I am happy to see you online via Zoom or face-to-face in clinic (Doncaster East, Victoria).
-
That's completely okay – everybody's healing journey looks a little different. If you feel you need additional consultations beyond what's included in your package, these can be booked at my standard consultation rates alongside your Innately YOU – Gut Heal package. Remember, your VIP direct messaging support is always there for quick questions in between your consultations.
-
Many clients choose to continue their gut health journey with standalone follow-up consultations, move into another Innately YOU package, or transition to periodic maintenance check-ins to keep their results on track – we'll discuss the best next step for you at your final consultation.
-
I utilise third party suppliers such as Vital.ly, Paragon Care and RN Labs to fill my patient’s supplement scripts.
Vital.ly (the main supplier I utilise): as a patient of mine, you will be invited to set up an account with Vital.ly, this is where your practitioner-only supplement script will be sent. You can access your script and other health products (food/home/personal products) from your account with Vital.ly, they will send your prescribed supplements and products directly to you. I encourage you to become a V-Rewards member which has benefits such as free shipping with every order over $99, and you can earn 5 points for every $1 spent, which accumulates towards $25 vouchers.
Occasionally your Naturopathic Care Plan may warrant supplements that are not available via Vital.ly. In these rare cases, you may be requested to order your supplement(s) from a different supplier (e.g. RN Labs), in which case a patient script is generated from your practitioner and all you have to do is order and pay for your products online.
Herbal medicines are supplied from my own, or a colleague’s, herbal medicine dispensary and posted out to you.
-
Once your order is confirmed and payment is made, packages cannot be cancelled and refunds will not be offered for change of mind; I encourage you to carefully consider whether a package is right for you before you purchase and make payment. Booking a Discovery and Strategy Session is recommended for each person looking at starting an Innately YOU package, this eliminates any second-guessing about whether a package is right for you or not.
