Itâs Not âJust IBSâ. Itâs Fixable.
Youâve tried cutting out foods, taking probiotics, low FODMAP, and following gut health advice you found on social media â yet nothing actually fixes the problem.
Thatâs because your gut is unique, and real healing starts with understanding exactly whatâs going on inside.
You know something deeper is going on you just donât know what. I'm here to help.
Youâve done everything they told you to do.
You have tried to:
â Cut out gluten, dairy, sugar (maybe even coffee?), hoping it would ease the bloating.
â Spent a small fortune on probiotics, enzymes, and every âgut healthâ supplement under the sun.
â Followed low-FODMAP, Whole30, Keto, and every TikTok gut reset trend you could find.
And yetâŠ
â Youâre still bloated. Still exhausted. Still running to the bathroom, or, not going for days.
â Your stomach balloons by 3 PM and every pair of jeans feels like a bad idea.
â Youâre beyond tired. Caffeine barely touches your exhaustion, and brain fog makes work feel 10x harder.
â Youâve wasted so much money on âgut-friendlyâ supplements that promised the world and did nothing.
You start wondering:
đ âAm I broken?â
đ âAm I overreacting?â
đ âIs this just my life now?â
And the worst part? The gaslightingâŠ
⌠Doctors: âItâs just IBSâ or âTry more fiber.â (As if you hadnât already.)
⌠Friends: âMaybe itâs stressâ or âHave you tried cutting gluten?â ( đ Seriously?)
⌠Social Media: âJust heal your gut with bone broth and celery juice!â (If only it were that simpleâŠ)
âI wake up with a flat stomach, but by 3 PM, I look six months pregnant, and I have not even eaten anything âbad.ââ
âI spend half my day Googling foods that wonât cause bloating, and still end up in pain.â
âEven âhealthyâ foods make me feel awful, but I have no idea why.â
âMy mornings are either spent rushing to the bathroom, or, feeling painfully constipated for days.â
âI canât concentrate at work because my brain fog is SO bad. I can hardly focus on what is discussed during a meeting, or, forget what I was saying mid-sentence.â
âI crash every afternoon, even if I slept 8 hours. Coffee barely keeps me going.â
âI plan my social life around my gut, avoiding brunches, dinners, or anything without a âsafeâ bathroom.â
âIâve bought every probiotic, enzyme, and supplement I could find. NONE of them worked.â
âDoctors keep telling me my labs are ânormalâ and I âjust have IBSâ, but I know something deeper is going on.â
âIâve been told itâs âjust stressâ. Unfortunately, no amount of yoga or meditation has fixed my gut.â
âI feel so bloated by the afternoon that I canât even button my jeans, so I just live in pyjamas just to be comfortable.â
âIâve stopped wearing body-hugging dresses because I feel self-conscious about my bloated stomach.â
âI donât feel sexy or confident anymoreâand Iâve pulled away from intimacy with my partner because I feel so uncomfortable in my own body.â
âI avoid photos or mirrors because I donât recognize my body anymoreâand it makes me feel defeated.â
âI feel like Iâm doing everything right, but my body just wonât cooperate.â
âItâs exhausting to keep hoping the next âgut fixâ will finally work⊠only to feel worse.â
âIâm so over feeling uncomfortable in my own body.â
Youâre not alone, and most importantly, itâs not all in your head.
So many women have felt exactly how you do right now âź frustrated, hopeless, and exhausted from trying everything without results.
You enjoy meals without planning or restrictions. Every bite brings joy, not fear or regret.
You wake up refreshed. No bloating, no aches. You sip your morning tea, excited to start your day.
You finally know exactly what your body loves. No more guessing if gluten or dairy are the culprits. Your meals feel simple, nourishing, and satisfying.
You power through your workday, and STILL have energy for joy. Whether itâs an evening walk, a dinner date, or saying âyesâ to spontaneous fun, youâre ready.
The brain fog lifts. You finish tasks faster and remember names with ease. You breeze through tasks, stay sharp during meetings, and feel clear-headed all day.
Your skin glows with health, thanks to your healed gut. Acne fades, eczema softens, and you love how you look. No cover-ups, no makeup, no hiding. Just your bare skin.
You feel fully at home in your body. That dress in your closet? You wear it with confidence... because you feel amazing.
Intimacy feels effortless and joyful. You reconnect with yourself and your partner - confident, comfortable, and carefree.
You say âyesâ to plans without the stress of symptoms. Dinners, trips, and spontaneous get-togethers, your body no longer sets the rules.
You enjoy foods you missed without the backlash. Spicy dishes, wine with friends - no burning, no antacids, just enjoyment.
You travel light - physically and emotionally, with just excitement in your carry-on. No emergency meds, no symptom plans...just excitement for the adventure.
People notice, and they canât help but ask: âWhatâs your secret?â You smile because itâs not just how you look - itâs how you feel.
Introducing
A 6-month 1:1 gut healing program to help you eat your favorite foods again (without any fear), have easy, pain-free periods, regain your energy and confidence, and finally feel like a ânormal personâ again.

You want to be able to say yes to dinner with friends without stressing over whatâs on the menu.
You want to wear your favorite jeans without worrying if theyâll still fit by 3 PM.

No more confusion, no more frustration. Youâre finally going to understand why your symptoms are happening and what to do about them.
The journey starts with a deep-dive intake process where we get clear on your health history, symptoms, and goals.
This isnât about handing you another generic plan â itâs about co-creating a strategy that actually fits your life and feels good to follow.
â Set up your client portal and complete your intake forms.
â Order functional lab testing (HTMA and GI MAP stool tests - included in the program) to gather real data on whatâs going on inside your body.
â 90-minute intake session to map out a plan that aligns with your health goals, lifestyle, and values.
â A phased protocol designed just for you â broken into simple, bite-sized steps that build on each other for sustainable, long-term success.
This is where your healing begins.
Youâll share your full health history, symptoms, and struggles so I can understand your bodyâs unique story. so it's not generic advice and ensures a plan built just for you.
Before we dive into deep healing, itâs important to lay the groundwork. This phase is all about setting up strong, sustainable health foundations while also helping you feel better right now â because symptom relief matters, too.
Short-Term Plan: Start feeling better ASAP with targeted symptom relief strategies, so youâre not stuck suffering while working on the deeper root causes.
Long-Term Plan: At the same time, we will also focus on building your foundations for long-term success including
â focusing on nourishing your body with nutrient-dense whole foods and minerals
â strengthening your digestion
â balancing your blood sugar
â reset your circadian rhythm
â support your nervous system
â bring in or adapt to intentional movement
This phase sets the stage for long-term success by building a rock-solid foundation before introducing more targeted protocols.
Tired of guessing or getting back "normal" blood work? I use targeted functional lab tests (like the GI-MAP stool test and the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test) to uncover exactly whatâs driving your symptoms.
With real data in hand, we can address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Now that the foundations are in place, itâs time to dig deeper and address the root causes of your symptoms with a highly personalized, data-driven protocol.
This phase is where we move beyond symptom management and focus on long-term healing. Using a strategic and root cause based approach, weâll address gut imbalances, hormone dysfunction, and other key drivers of your health concerns.
â Targeted gut healing so your digestion can function optimally.
â Deep hormone rebalancing to support cycle health, energy, and mood â tailored specifically to your symptoms and needs.
â Strategic nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations based on your lab results and health goals.
â Review & interpretation of any functional test results, so you finally understand whatâs happening in your body and what needs to be done to fix it.
This phase is all about precision âź using the right tools at the right time to correct imbalances, eliminate guesswork, and accelerate healing.
Your test results and symptom patterns are analyzed to create a clear, step-by-step plan. This includes nutrition recommendations, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle shifts, all designed specifically for your body and goals based on the data that your body has provided.
No more wondering, âWhere do I go from here?â or âWhat happens next?â
Youâll have a clear plan of action to maintain and build on your progress long after the program ends.
â Personalized maintenance plan tailored to your lifestyle, so you can sustain your results with confidence.
â Ongoing support & guidance, so you wonât be left guessing how to move forward.
â Access to continued check-ins (if needed) so you can stay on track without starting over.

This phase is about feeling empowered and prepared â so you walk away with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to continue thriving in your body, for life.
Healing isnât a one-and-done process. I check in, track your progress, and make adjustments as needed to ensure your body is responding and thriving. You wonât have to figure this out alone.
"Before working with Sonia, I was struggling with PCOS, fatigue, stress, anxiety, no periods, hair loss, and a poor diet. I had tried diets and lifestyle changes before, but nothing worked and I was absolutely fed up and I needed a change.
When I started the program, I felt apprehensive but also excited. Very quickly, I started noticing huge improvements: I got my period back, my stress reduced, my skin and nails improved, and I stopped craving sugar.
Now I feel like I have a whole toolkit of tips, tricks, and lifestyle changes that help me manage and understand my symptoms. My confidence, energy, and stress levels have all improved, and I finally feel more in control of my health! One of the biggest changes is that I now have a morning routine I love (and couldnât imagine being without).
What surprised me most about working with Sonia was how she picked up on even the smallest details, paid attention to everything I said (even little passing comments) and connected them back to the bigger picture of my health.
The functional lab testing was really helpful. It gave me answers and clarity in a way that nothing else had!
If youâre on the fence about investing in this program, my advice is simple: DO IT! No matter what your symptoms are, you will benefit from working with Sonia."
"When I crossed paths with Sonia, I had either no period or an irregular one. I had lost faith in ever having a regular cycle again and faced my biggest fear: losing my fertility.
In addition, I experienced constant brain fog, chronic fatigue, and a disruption to my daily rhythm. Even my Dutch GP just told me to âtake it easy.â
Meeting Sonia didnât feel like a coincidence. She was personal, empathetic, discreet, and patient, exactly what I needed in a coach. :) I was desperate to heal and placed my full trust in her commitment to my health.
Within weeks, I noticed changes. I had more energy, I felt more rested, and my digestion slowly returned to a rhythm.
And then the most incredible thing happened...I got my period back! For two months in a row, it arrived right on a 28-day cycle. That meant I was fertile again - the best gift I could have asked for! I feel great in my body, no bloating, and like myself again. Honestly, I feel like Venus!
What surprised me most about working together was Soniaâs patience and consistency. Last year, I felt like I had completely lost control of my life, and only later realized how much my hormonal disorder was behind it. Sonia never gave up on me, even in the hardest moments. She gave me hope and helped me regain control.
I wouldnât have been able to understand the functional lab testing on my own, but Sonia explained everything in a way that made sense.
I genuinely believe itâs a life-changing investment, because prioritizing health is essential."
"I used to struggle with bloating and loose stools, which affected my daily life severely. I could not have a meal out without having 2 days of bad gut issues after!
I did try other things, and they worked for a bit. Then I was told I have IBS and that there was no cure. I also suffer from severely itchy skin, and I thought it could be related to my gut health.
I saw Soniaâs presentation about her own experience with gut health, but what really made me decide to invest was her data/science-focused approach, her determination that gut issues can be cured, and more than anything her message that skin issues are related to gut health.
Within the first month, I already saw a big change: no bloating after every meal, no weird movements in my intestines, and no loose stools. The itchiness is still there, but I feel better in my life and body.
I feel like I know what I should do. I have a solid foundation to go back to.
The determination and care Sonia has for her clients really surprised me.
The functional lab testing definitely helped! Iâm looking forward to doing them again and seeing what I was able to balance back. It validated that my skin issue isnât in my mind -- there is a cause, and itâs visible!
If youâre on the fence about investing in this program, hereâs what Iâd say: itâs going to be a long process, but itâs going to be knowledge youâll stick with forever. Itâs going to be an investment, but your health is worth it! This could truly change your life! Be ready, commit to it, and youâll discover that you really can achieve great health."

Hey, Iâm Sonia! đ Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & HTMA Expert
I know exactly how it feels to be where you are right now.
I spent years battling bloating that made me look six months pregnant, acne flare-ups that made me want to hide, and exhaustion that no amount of sleep could fix. I went from doctor to doctor, ran standard tests, and was told âeverything looks normal.â But nothing about the way I felt was normal.
After years of struggling, I stopped guessing and started testing. I learned that my gut, hormones, and minerals were out of sync, and that was truly the missing piece. Once I understood what my body actually needed, everything changed.
Now, I help other women do the same â so they donât have to waste years stuck in the same cycle.
With a science-backed, holistic approach, I help my clients heal their gut, rebalance their hormones, and reclaim their energy using a method thatâs personalized, sustainable, and actually works.
I know investing in your health is a big decision, and you probably have some doubts. Here are the most common questions I hear and why this program is different from anything youâve tried before.
As your Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I would be diving deep into your health history, symptoms, lab test results, current food and lifestyles patterns, stressors, etc. to develop an action plan to help you achieve your health goals using a holistic and sustainable approach.
I can help find the root cause of the health issues that you are experiencing, and help you understand the "why" of these issues. Together, we work on addressing the root causes through changes in diet and lifestyle.
Please note that I am not a doctor. I do not diagnose or put you on (or off) medication. We work 1:1 or alongside your doctor (if required).
If you're considering working with me, I know that you have been suffering with your symptoms for a while and you did not get to this stage overnight.
I truly believe that we need to give our bodies the time and space to heal and get back into balance.
In my experience, achieving positive results through a holistic approach typically takes a minimum of 4-6 months of focus and commitment from my clients.
In the event that we need more time together due to the complexity of your case, the option to book additional sessions are available.
The first step is to fill out the application for my 1:1 service (linked here). Upon completing this application, I will reach out to you to set up a FREE 30-minute clarity call where we will have a conversation about your symptoms, health and wellness goals. I can explain my process and how I can help you reach those goals. I will also answer any questions you might have about my services.
You donât need to prepare anything in advance for this call! Hop on the call with me and letâs talk about what you have already tried and why itâs not working. Iâll share with you what I think is actually causing your symptoms and how we can work on it.
If we're a good fit to work together, I will be able share next steps to get started !
If you have any questions or concerns about the application process, please reach out to me at sonia@eatlovethrivewellness.com.
This program would be a great fit for you if:
â Youâve tried everything : elimination diets, probiotics, expensive supplements, but nothing has truly worked long-term.
â Your digestion is unpredictable, and youâre tired of planning your life around symptoms like bloating, food sensitivities, and bathroom emergencies.
â You feel exhausted all the time, even after a full nightâs sleep, and struggle with brain fog that makes work and daily life harder than it should be.
â Your thyroid feels sluggish, i,e., youâre constantly cold, struggling with unexplained weight gain, or dealing with thinning hair and brittle nails.
â Your periods are painful, irregular, or completely draining, but every doctor says âitâs normalâ and offers no real solutions (except getting on the birth control pill).
â Your skin constantly flares up with acne, rosacea, or dryness, and you suspect itâs more than just âbad luckâ, but you donât know where to start.
â Youâre frustrated with generic health advice that doesnât consider YOUR body, and youâre ready for a customized, root-cause approach.
â You want to stop micromanaging food and finally feel confident eating without fear or guilt.
â Youâre done guessing and want real answers â so you can heal your gut, balance your hormones, and feel like yourself again.
If this sounds like you, letâs get started! Fill out the application form.
If you're looking for a quick fix or only supplement recommendations and are not willing to being completely committed to making a change in your food and lifestyle habits, then this program may not be a good fit for you at the moment.
Please remember (and I say this with love), your body cannot heal in the same environment that made it sick.
Yes, the functional lab tests I currently offer include two tests.
HTMA: The HTMA provides insight into the past ~90 days of your body's mineral status. Minerals are the spark plugs of ALL the functions and reactions that take place inside your cells and are a significant contributor to overall health. Click here for more info.
GI-MAP: This is a comprehensive stool test that tests for pathogens, opportunistic bacteria, parasites, fungi, viruses, as well as digestive function, immune responses, and intestinal barrier integrity. All of these can play a major role in nutrient absorption and as a result impact digestion, hormones, and overall health.
*These functional tests are informational tools only, not to be considered as diagnostic tests. These tests are not run by your GP and can only be ordered by a health practitioner (like me).
I get it. Youâve probably already spent so much time, energy, and money trying to fix your symptoms, only to feel stuck.
The difference? This program isnât another random set of tips â itâs a strategic, data-driven approach built around YOUR body.
Instead of throwing things at the wall and hoping something sticks, we use functional lab testing, personalized protocols, and expert guidance to ensure youâre making the right changes, at the right time, for the best results.
Think about how much youâve already spent on supplements, elimination diets, and doctor visits â only to still feel stuck. Instead of wasting more time and money on trial-and-error, this program gives you real answers and a personalized plan that actually works so you can stop symptom-chasing for good.
Payment plans are also available to make this investment more accessible.
I know youâre busy (trust me, been there too, so I definitely get it), which is why this program is designed specifically for women with packed schedules.
Instead of overwhelming you with drastic changes, we focus on small, high-impact shifts that fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
Youâll get step-by-step guidance, time-saving strategies, and direct support to make the process feel effortless, NOT exhausting.
Good news: you donât have to.
This isnât about restriction. It is about giving your body what it needs to heal so you can enjoy food again without fear.
Weâll focus on supporting digestion, balancing blood sugar, and improving food tolerance â so you can stop eliminating and start enjoying your favorite foods again!
You wonât be left wondering what to do next.
By the time weâre done, youâll have a clear, personalized maintenance plan, a deep understanding of your body, and the confidence to continue seeing results.
Plus, youâll have access to ongoing check-in options whenever you need extra support.
