more predictable poops so you can start (and finish) your day with a flat belly!
holistic Nutrition coaching so you can break free from constipation — without crazy elimination diets, or harsh laxatives.
Feeling stuck in gut gridlock?
You struggle to have a bowel movement at least 3 days a week, or often leave the bathroom feeling like you haven’t fully emptied…
You become more bloated as the day goes on, and you look 5-months pregnant by dinnertime 😩…
You have gas pains at least twice a week that are so uncomfortable you can’t even sit right…
You can’t figure out what to eat to make yourself feel good because it seems like everything makes you bloated.
If this sounds like you, I’m willing to bet you’ve tried at least one of the following…
You’ve changed your diet at least once in the last 3 months, hoping to find one that sticks… Low FODMAP, dairy-free, gluten-free…
You keep cutting out foods to help your bloat, but it doesn’t seem to help no matter how meticulously you track your food.
You eat more fiber, drink 2L of water every day, and go to the gym at least 3 days a week without any significant changes.
You take laxatives at least twice a week but you always end up needing them… yet again.
It’s possible you even went to your doctor who told you all of your tests came back “normal”. Except… you don’t feel normal, and now you have no clue what to do to make yourself feel better.
if this sounds like you, you are not alone!
Did you know that chronic constipation impacts 1 in 4 Canadians? With close to one third not even realizing it!
Shockingly, almost half of people with constipation are not completely satisfied with their current treatment.
… because, no one wants to take a laxative for the rest of their life. And, elimination diets just aren’t sustainable.
At Empowered Nutrition, I take a different approach.
Instead of asking you to cut out entire food groups or relying on dozens of supplements (like many other approaches), you’ll focus on integrating simple daily habits that add up to give you BIG, life-changing results!
Here’s how my methodology works…
The Balanced Gut Method
Motility
Get your gut moving with holistic solutions so you can feel better sooner, rather than later.
Microdosing Plants
Slowly introduce more plant foods to build resilience so you can eat more foods you love without backsliding into bloat.
Freedom Rx
Discover how to listen to your body so you can meet its needs and maintain long-term health
With the same habits, you’ll keep getting the same results.
But, with different habits, anything is possible!
You’re someone who just wants to…
👉 Have predictable, effortless bowel movements every morning without laxatives or medication.

At Empowered Nutrition, I know you’re someone who dreams of a life where you can start (and finish!) your day with a flat belly, eat good food, and poop every day.
(Is that too much to ask??)
But most people stay stuck in Gut Gridlock because they’re missing one key piece of information… Constipation is a self-perpetuating cycle.
Constipation begins when there’s a disruption in motility, imbalances in the gut microbiome, or both. This is often related to diet, but stress and other factors cause these changes, too. As constipation worsens, gas production increases and methane-producing bacteria are favored. You might still poop every day, but you don’t completely empty your bowels, causing stool to back up in the colon.
This buildup of stool increases methane gas production, which slows motility, worsening constipation. Common symptoms associated with constipation include gas pain, bloating, abdominal cramps or distension, nausea, loss of appetite, heartburn, and food sensitivities.
Many people try to fix this by adding more fiber, but fiber usually makes things worse because it ferments in the gut, and produces gas. In a healthy gut, this isn’t a problem. In a backed-up colon, fiber the gas gets trapped behind stool and makes symptoms worse.
Dietary changes are rarely enough to break the cycle. You need to get your bowels moving first before adding more fiber. Once your bowels are moving regularly, dietary changes help maintain that rhythm to keep it moving.
This is exactly why my programs focus on getting your gut moving first and foremost. Once you’ve established a daily rhythm, the rest is all about building simple healthy habits and discovering how to eat for your body so you can keep your gut moving without relying on laxatives.
The Balanced Gut Method focuses on 3 pillars most people need for epic daily bowel movements and freedom from constipation once and for all...
Here’s how it works…
Pillar 1: Motility
I get it. When you're constipated, you just want relief from gas and bloating. That's why this pillar is all about symptom relief. We address the underlaying factors that contribute to slow motility and do everything we need to get your gut moving.
Pillar 2: Microdosing
No crazy elimination diets in this approach! Instead, you’ll slowly introduce more plant foods and fiber in a way that allows your gut to adapt rather than backsliding into bloat. Because when your gut is more resilient, this gives you freedom to eat more of the foods you love (not less)!
Pillar 3: Freedom Rx
You're almost there! The mind and the gut are intricately connected, so it’s important for you to learn how your thoughts, emotions, and habits impact your gut health if you want lasting results. Discover how to listen to your body’s needs so you feel empowered to manage your health in the long-run!
When you’ve mastered these 3 pillars, you can have…
👉 Predictable, effortless poops every morning without laxatives or medication.
👉 Start, and finish, your day with a flat belly while eating more of the foods you love…
👉 Feel good in your own skin and wear the clothes that make you feel like the goddess you are…
… and more!
And the best part? My approach is all about balance! We focus on small habits to create big changes so you don't feel like you're overhauling your entire life.
I work with you, within your lifestyle, so the changes feel simple and fit with the flow of your life.

While I take a “food first” approach with my clients, supplements are often needed to correct imbalances in the body.
Think of your health as a bank account. Each healthy decision is a deposit into your account, and each unhelpful decision is a debt. If you accumulate enough debt, which is likely the case if you struggle with chronic constipation, you need to repay your loan with interest. Supplements can help with those interest repayments to get your accounts balanced more quickly.
If you have used supplements in the past without success, it’s likely you didn’t have the right personalization to address your needs.
