Brain-Gut Therapies at
Sky Therapies

Living with IBS, chronic bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or unpredictable digestive symptoms can be overwhelming. Your gut affects everything: your comfort, your confidence, your social life, your routine, and your sense of control.

If your digestive symptoms change day-to-day…
If stress makes everything worse…
If you feel exhausted, anxious, or confused by your own body…

You are not alone.
And your symptoms are not “all in your head.”
They are part of the gut–brain connection, and there are ways to heal it.

At Sky Therapies, we specialize in helping you break that cycle through mind-gut connection therapy, a gentle and deeply effective approach that addresses both the physical symptoms and the nervous system patterns underneath.

Your symptoms are real.
Your pain is valid.
And there is a way to feel better.

    What Is Mind–Gut Connection Therapy?

    The mind-gut connection, also known as the gut-brain communication network between your digestive system and your nervous system. This system controls digestion, mood, immunity, stress responses, and even pain perception.

    When your brain is stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or in a fight-or-flight state, your gut receives the message instantly.

    At Sky Therapies, we combine neuroscience, somatic therapy, hypnosis, EMDR, DBR, and mind-body approaches to support long-term relief.

    Mind–gut therapy helps by:

    Calming the nervous system

    Reducing digestive anxiety

    Easing hypersensitivity in the gut

    Regulating bowel movements

    Lowering the intensity and frequency of IBS symptoms

    Retraining the gut-brain communication loop

    Helping you feel safe in your body again

    • Brain-Gut

    Understanding the Brain-Gut Connection

    The gut is often called your “second brain” because of the millions of nerve cells that communicate with your brain through the gut-brain axis. This complex network influences more than digestion—it impacts your mood, stress levels, immune system, and overall sense of well-being.

    When stress, trauma, or emotional overwhelm disrupt this communication, it can trigger or worsen gut issues, such as:

    Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
    Bloating or abdominal pain
    Constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating bowel habits
    Unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms
    Acid reflux or indigestion
    Fatigue or brain fog connected to gut discomfort

    At Sky Therapies, we understand how discouraging it can be to seek answers and feel like you’re hitting a wall. Brain-gut therapy offers a fresh approach by addressing the emotional and neurological factors that contribute to your symptoms, while my dietetic background provides an additional layer of insight into how your dietary habits and nutritional needs play a role.

    What to Expect in Brain-Gut Therapy

    Seeking therapy for gut issues is an empowering step toward understanding your body and finding relief. At Sky Therapies, we prioritize your comfort and create a safe, supportive environment for your healing journey.

    Your First Session
    We’ll begin with an open conversation about your symptoms, experiences, and goals. During this process, my experience as a dietitian enables me to ask the right questions about your eating habits and nutritional needs, alongside exploring emotional factors. From there, we’ll create a personalized therapy plan tailored to your unique situation.

    Ongoing Sessions
    Each session builds on the last, helping you uncover and address the root causes of your gut symptoms. Whether we’re using EMDR to process past stress, hypnotherapy to calm your gut, or mindfulness to strengthen your resilience, every step of your journey is designed to support your healing. My dietetic expertise allows us to integrate nutrition-focused recommendations seamlessly into the therapeutic process.
