GAPS Consultation
GAPS Initial Consultation (2-2.5 hrs) - online or in person
I will begin the consultation by taking a thorough history of your symptoms and explore how they are specifically related to Gut and Psychology/ Physiology Syndrome to design appropriate steps for dietary intervention. I will then go through the GAPS three part nutritional protocol in detail with you, as well as provide information about where to access GAPS friendly food, advice on how to plan for and prepare the staple foods of the diet prior to starting, and what you should expect to experience over the program.
The GAPS Initial Consultation includes:
Welcome pack (including GAPS staple foods recipe handouts)
Gut and Psychology/Physiology Syndrome book by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride
Thorough health assessment including written recommendations emailed to you within 1-2 weeks of the consultation
GAPS 2nd consultation (approximately 2 weeks later) - online or in person
This 1 hour consultation is designed to ensure that you are feeling comfortable and ready to get started with the GAPS protocol. It will be tailored to your specific needs and may include menu planning, and hands-on recipe help. Plus of course beyond this consultation I am available to support you over your GAPS journey in person or by phone/ video or audio chat or email according to your preference.
Please note: I do have personal experience with the GAPS diet which allows me to relate to my GAPS clients in an authentic way.
“After struggling with digestive issues for many years, and trying many different nutritional protocols, I started the GAPS diet on my own. There was something about this protocol that just made sense, and I was on board very quickly to give this a try. After a few months on GAPS Intro I found myself feeling super overwhelmed. I was going through heavy detox symptoms, and felt physically and mentally exhausted. Everything was new to me and there was so much information, cooking techniques to learn and plenty of google searches which didn’t match up!! I needed help.
I was blessed to have found Paula who was warmly recommended to me by a fellow GAPster. I felt a huge relief to know there was someone who knew what I was going through, and also had the tools and the knowledge to support me. Even though we are thousands of miles away, Paula’s support felt close as home. Paula’s in depth knowledge and understanding of the body and nutrition was impressive, and I knew I could count on her. She was dedicated in helping me understand all the details and yet focus on the essentials. Paula helped tailor the GAPS protocol to my symptoms and pace. It was so beneficial to have someone I could trust guide me through all my questions and setbacks, instead of despaired google searches.
Doing a nutritional protocol like GAPs invites intensive deep healing, and I believe this calls for close support and guidance. Paula kept me inspired to stay committed to this process, and I don’t know how I would have done this without her!! Although it is said one can go through the GAPS protocol with guidance of the “yellow bible” in it of itself, I have experienced what a huge difference it made to have humane and compassionate support alongside analytical understanding and someone who can fine tune this exactly to my body’s needs.
I recommend working with Paula to anyone going through this protocol!”
