My name is Dominika, I am a UK based nutritionist specialising in gastrointestinal health and I am fascinated by the human microbiome. I support people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, SIBO as well as various unexplained gastrointestinal problems. I also work with people with weight management issues and help those with mental and emotional health challenges.
I help my clients take back control of their life through long-lasting nutritional and lifestyle changes with a supportive and holistic approach.
Along with personal insight, I have a wealth of clinical knowledge and over 10 years of professional experience.
I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Health Coach, Trauma Informed Well-being Coach and a member of The British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and The Council of Natural Healthcare (CNHC).

In my evidence-based clinic, I apply the principles of Functional Medicine framework in order to investigate possible root causes of any health complications, rather than focusing on symptoms alone. This principle promotes optimising wellness by seeking why you may be experiencing a certain health concern or condition. I dive deep into the gut microbiome and its intricate connection to other systems of the body. I further emphasise this by using The 5 Pillars of Resilient Microbiome Framework (The Biome Learning Center, 2026). Did you know that Microbiome is vastly connected to many other systems of the body?
Since we are all so biochemically and beautifully unique, this approach is personalised in order to reflect every aspect of one’s overall health. Gut related condition may present differently in one person compared to the other. It may have a different root cause and may manifest in the body in various ways.
When a client’s symptoms are chronic, I frequently recommend a functional testing to help me see beyond the condition or diagnosis and instead, develop a more strategic nutritional approach based upon these results. Whilst it is possible to make progress in health without testing, I do recommend it in ongoing ‘stalled’ cases.
Working with me is not about quick fix diets but rather adopting sustainable lifestyle changes to suit your goals and needs. My aim is to help you feel broadly supported throughout the process, even when your challenges are longer lasting or more complex. Whether it is managing your weight or supporting your gut, I can help you create a tailored plan that fits your unique lifestyle and goals.
As a Health Coach as well as Trauma Informed Wellbeing coach I understand that sometimes, more help is needed to guide my clients toward better health. I can support you better on this journey by addressing deeper obstacles that might be holding you back from making steady progress to reach your goals.
Programmes I offer
Take a look at three different Programmes I offer.
I can help guide you to the best option for you during a no obligation 20 mins call. We'll talk about where you are right now and decide how I can best support you.




Whether you have a known diagnosis or a rather unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms that cause constant discomfort, I can help you to address this and any other health problems. Even if your symptoms are seemingly unrelated to the gut, its active role in interacting with other systems of the body means that gut issues can manifest in various forms. These may include: skin problems, fatigue, anxiety, depression, heart problems, obesity etc.
One cannot attain optimal health without optimal digestive processes.
By first focusing on the gastrointestinal tract, the body is provided with an opportunity to restore its function, which many times addresses other remaining health issues.

Addressing the underlying issues behind any difficulty with weight loss is understanding the obstacles that need to be addressed in order to achieve optimum weight . There are various reasons why eating daily portions of salads and running on a treadmill five times a week might not work for everyone. Root causes such as hormonal changes, low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance or lack of sleep – all these are examples of factors that can contribute to issues associated with weight management.
Reaching optimal weight is achieved by tuning into your body’s needs; not rejecting them.
Through detailed health and lifestyle assessment and looking at each client holistically, I will create a personalised nutrition protocol to help you reach your weight goal and optimise your health.

It is extremely difficult to navigate through life if you are feeling hopeless and persistently sad. Gut microbiome plays a crucial role in supporting mental and emotional wellbeing and any disruption within this intestinal ecosystem affects signals that are sent to the brain. Consequently, this can lead to various issues such as chronic low moods, irritability, brain fog, inability to concentrate, insomnia etc.
There is a constant hidden conversation between the gut and the brain.
Restoring the communication between the gut and the brain shapes our mood and stress response in daily lives and lays the foundation for optimal mental and emotional health.

You will be given your personalised meal plan created with your unique needs and goals in mind

It is never too late to start cultivating love and appreciation for oneself.
Unfortunately, no one can guarantee that. I can however guarantee that I will work with and guide you to make the necessary changes that enables your body to function better. My role is to help you provide the body with what it needs. Whilst even the simplest changes can have a powerful effect the results you can achieve can vary on many factors. Results depend on your health history, lifestyle and other factors. Sustainable changes will ensure this journey continues long after our plan has finished.
My approach is not about extreme restrictions. You will however be expected to make dietary changes based on your specific goals and I might ask you to omit/reduce certain foods for a period of time if I feel this is the right approach for you. It is important to understand that it might be necessary for you to give up some foods you are used to eating or to experiment with foods you've never tried before. Keeping an open mind is part of the process.
After your program has ended you can either book another Programme with me or have additional sessions. These are available to clients who have purchased a Programme within the last 18 months. If it has been more than 18 months since your Programme ended, you need to purchase one of the Programmes again.
Testing is not included within the cost of a Programme. I will discuss relevant testing options with you if I consider this necessary and it is entirely up to you if you choose to purchase one. It is entirely optional and is recommended on a case by case basis.
My priority is always to take a food first approach - changing habits and choosing foods that foster better health is always much more sustainable in the longer term. However sometimes a small number of supplements can help to correct nutrient deficiencies or support symptoms whilst you embed better habits into your day. I always aim to keep this to a minimum and affordable whilst respecting any decision you may make with regards to the recommendations. I do ask that you check with me before changing a supplement I have recommended or adding in anything additional as I will have checked my recommendations are safe with your current health concerns and any medication you may take.
