Digestive Restoration
Canberra Integrative Care for Gut Health, Inflammation, Energy, & Nervous System Balance
Digestive issues rarely arrive quietly.
They show up as bloating that makes clothes uncomfortable.
Reflux that disrupts sleep.
Constipation or urgency that makes daily life unpredictable.
Food reactions that don’t seem logical.
Fatigue after meals.
Brain fog.
Anxiety that worsens when your gut feels off.
Many people tell us:
“I don’t know what I can eat anymore.”
“My digestion has never been the same.”
“I feel inflamed all the time.”
“I’ve tried everything.”
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And importantly - your body isn’t broken.
It’s responding to overload, irritation, and long-term stress in the only way it knows how.
This isn’t just a gut problem
Digestion doesn’t exist in isolation.
Your gut is deeply influenced by:
your nervous system
vagus nerve function
chronic stress patterns
immune activation
liver and detox pathways
hormonal balance
microbiome health
emotional load
how safe your body feels when you eat
When these systems are under pressure, digestion often becomes reactive, inefficient, or inflamed.
Over time, this creates the patterns we recognise as IBS, reflux, bloating, food sensitivities, or chronic digestive discomfort.
At Resonate Mind Body in Canberra, we don’t treat the gut as a standalone organ.
We look at the whole system driving your symptoms.
Our approach: body-led, nervous-system-informed care
This prWe work with you to help restore digestive function by gently rebuilding communication between your gut, brain, immune system, liver, and nervous system - while calming the stress response that often sits underneath everything.
We don’t use rigid, one-size-fits-all gut protocols.
Instead, care is guided by real-time feedback from your body using Applied Kinesiology, alongside chiropractic and Sacro-Occipital Technique, acupuncture, emotional processing, nutrition, and targeted supplementation.
Our philosophy is this:
We calm before we repair
We regulate the nervous system before pushing detox
We support digestion before challenging food tolerance
We reassess constantly
We simplify as stability returns
This allows healing to unfold safely, sustainably, and at a pace your system can integrate.
What this supports
Our approach to repairing and improving digestion is commonly used to help with:
bloating, reflux, or abdominal discomfort
constipation, diarrhoea, or alternating bowel patterns
food sensitivities or unpredictable reactions to meals
IBS-type symptoms
chronic gut inflammation
fatigue or brain fog linked to digestion
anxiety or low mood that worsens with gut symptoms
post-meal crashes or heaviness
It’s particularly helpful when digestive issues feel layered, confusing, or resistant to standard approaches.
It can also be helpful for food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, skin reactions, and immune-related digestive symptoms when the gut feels reactive or inflamed.
What care typically involves
Your care plan may include:
Gentle chiropractic and SOT to improve pelvic, spinal, and cranial communication influencing gut motility
Applied Kinesiology to assess stomach acid, enzymes, liver function, bile flow, gut lining integrity, microbiome stress, immune reactivity, and vagal tone
Acupuncture to calm gut–brain signalling, reduce inflammation, and support digestive rhythm
Emotional work (including NET) to reduce the physiological impact of unresolved stress held in the body
Individualised supplementation to support gut repair, digestion, inflammation, and detox - based on what your body actually tests for
Simple home supports such as mindful eating, breathing, hydration, and gentle food guidance
As your system stabilises, supplements and interventions are gradually reduced rather than endlessly added.
What change often feels like
Digestive healing doesn’t usually arrive in dramatic leaps.
It tends to show up quietly:
less bloating after meals
more regular bowel movements
improved energy and mood stability
fewer food reactions
clearer thinking
reduced abdominal tension
better sleep
a growing sense of ease around eating
feeling more “settled” in your body
These subtle shifts matter.
They tell us your nervous system and digestive system are finding their rhythm again.
What to expect
Many people begin noticing meaningful shifts within the first 4–6 sessions, depending on complexity and history.
Early changes often appear as shifts in digestion, food tolerance, or energy after meals. Over time, bowel rhythm, bloating, and nervous system tone begin to stabilise.
Progress isn’t linear.
Some visits feel deep.
Some feel gentle.
Sometimes symptoms fluctuate before they stabilise.
That’s normal.
We move at the pace your body allows.
A different way of thinking about digestion
Your symptoms are not personal failures.
They’re intelligent adaptations to irritation, depletion, and long-term stress.
This work isn’t about forcing your gut to behave.
It’s about creating enough safety and support for digestion to restore itself.
If this resonates
If eating feels stressful…
if your gut feels unpredictable…
or if you’re ready for a calmer, more integrated approach to digestive healing…
this approach may be a meaningful next step.
We welcome both new and existing clients into this work and are always happy to talk through whether this approach feels right for you.
