Many of my clients struggle like you do. Despite being hard-working, loving and loved human beings, life is hard. When they first come in, they feel defeated and anxious. They have likely googled one or more of these questions:

• “Does anxiety cause IBS”
• “Can severe anxiety cause bowel problems”
• “Can stress make ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease flare up? 
• “How to relieve IBS anxiety”
• “Anxiety and IBS are ruining my life”

They’ve had to give up on too many things they love because of their GI disorder. They’ve canceled trips and missed out on time with friends. They worry about long car trips and work meetings. On the job and at home, they are rock stars and it can *look like* they're doing it all. But it too often comes at a price. They feel overwhelmed, in pain, and sad.

Their diagnosis has become the elephant in the room. They feel like they “shouldn’t” talk about it any more. They worry about burdening their loved ones with the ups and downs of their health. Yet, not being able to share about the reality of their disease feels lonely. They work so hard at staying positive, pushing through the ebb and flow of their health issues. When they flare up, guilt rears its ugly head. “Maybe I ate something I shouldn’t have”, “I’m not doing a good job at managing my stress”, “I made my symptoms worse.” 

And all of a sudden it’s just too much. Too much pretending, too much fear, too much loneliness. And way too little happiness.

When they reach out to me, they feel ready to get some help, to make changes, to start feeling more like themselves!

Like my clients, you deserve help from someone who won’t try to sell you on the latest green juice or miracle diet that will fix your digestive issues.

If you live with gastrointestinal issues and anxiety has become your middle name, you are NOT alone
