From Surviving on Meat & Water to Eating & Living Freely

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and for 10 years, the disease controlled every part of my life. What I could eat, where I could go, how I felt about myself. At my lowest point, I was surviving on nothing but meat and water. The simplest foods caused agony. I felt trapped in my own body.

"I went from eating nothing but meat and water, in constant pain and fear, to now being able to eat and drink absolutely anything I want, freely and joyfully."

Conventional medicine managed my symptoms but never addressed the root cause. It wasn't until I explored hypnotherapy and psychotherapy that everything changed. I discovered that suppressed and unresolved emotions, stress, fear, shame, and trauma were physically manifesting in my gut.

Through hypnotherapy I rebuilt my identity, developed new habits around organic wholefoods, and cultivated true self-confidence. Through psychotherapy I learned to process and release the emotional pain I'd been carrying for years. Guided meditation gave me the tools to calm my nervous system and reconnect with my body.

Today, I am completely free of Crohn's. And it is the greatest privilege of my life to guide others to the same freedom.

Why Your Gut Is Telling You
Something Deeper

Most treatments focus on the gut alone. But the gut and the brain are in constant communication. Unresolved stress and suppressed emotions don't just affect your mind. They physically change your gut.

๐Ÿ”—

The Gut-Brain Axis

Your gut contains over 100 million nerve cells and is directly linked to your brain. Emotional stress sends physical signals straight to your digestive system, triggering inflammation and symptoms.

๐ŸŒŠ

Suppressed Emotions & Inflammation

Unresolved emotional pain, grief, trauma, chronic anxiety, activates the body's stress response, increasing inflammation throughout the gut. The body holds what the mind can't process.

๐Ÿงฌ

Rewiring Through Hypnotherapy

Gut-directed hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind to calm the gut-brain connection, reduce hypersensitivity, and replace patterns of fear and avoidance with calm and confidence.

Healing Approach

Every treatment plan is tailored to you. I combine three powerful modalities to address the root causes of your IBD symptoms, not just manage them.

03

Guided Meditation

Boban

Founder ยท Clinical Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist

I know what it feels like to have your life taken over by inflammatory bowel disease. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and for over a decade it defined and limited everything. What I ate, how I felt, who I believed I was. At my worst, I was surviving on nothing but meat and water.

My healing didn't come from medication alone. It came from understanding that my body was expressing what my mind couldn't process. Through hypnotherapy, I rebuilt my identity and my habits. Through psychotherapy, I released the suppressed emotions that had been fuelling my symptoms for years. Through guided meditation, I found lasting peace.

Today, I eat and drink anything I want. I feel calm, confident, and completely free. And helping others achieve the same transformation is what gives my life its deepest purpose.

I bring not just clinical training, but lived experience. The most powerful foundation for genuine compassion and understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hypnotherapy scientifically proven for gut conditions?

Yes. Gut-directed hypnotherapy has strong clinical evidence behind it, particularly for IBS. Multiple studies, including research from Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester, have shown significant long-term improvement in gut symptoms through hypnotherapy. It works by addressing the gut-brain connection directly.

Do I need to stop my medical treatment to work with you?

Absolutely not. My approach is complementary to your existing medical care. I work alongside your doctors and encourage you to continue any treatment they have prescribed. My work addresses the emotional and psychological dimensions that conventional medicine may not cover.

How many sessions will I need?

Every person is different, and healing happens at its own pace. We begin with a free consultation to understand your situation, and from there I'll recommend a tailored plan. Many clients begin to notice meaningful changes within the first few sessions.

Do sessions take place online or in person?

I offer both online and in-person sessions to accommodate clients across Australia and internationally. Online sessions are just as effective and allow you to work from the comfort of your own home.

Is this only for Crohn's disease, or can it help with other conditions?

While I have personal experience with Crohn's disease, I work with clients suffering from all forms of inflammatory bowel disease, including Ulcerative Colitis and IBS.
