Nutritional therapy support for constipation
Constipation is far more widespread than most people realise, with some going as infrequently as once a week. For the bowel to function at its healthiest, clearing it once or ideally twice a day is the general benchmark — and when that doesn’t happen, toxins that should be eliminated from the body can simply hang around and end up being reabsorbed.
We offer personalised nutritional therapy for people dealing with constipation, taking the time to properly understand individual diet, habits and history.

What causes constipation?
Dehydration is the single most common cause. A number of other everyday factors are frequently involved too:
- Drinking less than 1.5–2 litres of water a day
- A low-fibre diet
- Dysbiosis (an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut)
- Mineral deficiencies
- A diet high in processed or refined foods, and wheat
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Not allowing enough time for a bowel movement, or ignoring the urge
- Stress
- An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
Good nutrition and some straightforward lifestyle changes can have a genuinely powerful effect on constipation, often getting things moving again fairly quickly.

Qualified, registered and genuinely in your corner
After years of stomach problems and seeing doctor after doctor, I was almost ready to give up. After my very first meeting with Emma I walked out feeling like someone had really listened — and now I feel like a completely new person. I have my life back!
I came to Emma feeling low on energy, run down and bloated. She helped me understand my body and build changes that fitted seamlessly into my life — she saw me as an individual, listened, and never judged.

Nutritional therapy is a complementary approach that supports general health and wellbeing. It does not replace individual medical assessment. Anyone currently taking prescribed medication should continue taking it as directed, and any changes should always be made through whoever prescribed it. Individual results vary and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
