Why Mentoring Matters
“Although I’ve undertaken extensive formal training in the field, the real gems and pearls of wisdom have come from mentoring sessions and working with real-life cases over and over again. That’s why I’m passionate about offering mentoring and case-sharing opportunities for practitioners - to provide a space where the practical meets those “aha!” moments, and true learning happens." - Chantel Yates

From Frustration to Fulfilment: Rethinking SIBO Treatments 💭
Are you treating SIBO with herbal antimicrobials and an arsenal of tools, yet finding your patients stuck in a cycle of recurrence? It’s frustrating, right? You’ve got the basics down, but the long-term outcomes just aren’t there.
This mentoring series is designed to help you break through the limitations of symptom-focused protocols. You’ll learn how to dig deeper into the underlying causes of SIBO recurrence - whether it’s motility issues, microbial imbalances, chronic stress, dietary triggers, or past treatments that missed the mark.
With a shift to comprehensive, root-cause strategies - including nervous system support, microbiome repair, and individualised treatment plans - you’ll transform your patients’ outcomes and your confidence as a practitioner.
Don’t just treat SIBO - resolve it for good. Limited spaces available, so secure your place now and redefine how you approach even the toughest cases.

My Microbiome Training and Journey
I am deeply passionate about the microbiome and its incredible impact on health. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in this exciting and rapidly evolving field, particularly in treating conditions such as SIBO, H. pylori, IBS, IBD, coeliac disease, and parasite infections. My approach is evidence-based, drawing on the latest advancements in microbiome science, and I’m committed to staying up-to-date with cutting-edge research to provide the best possible care.
My training and professional experience include:
Senior Associate in the GIT fellowship at Gould’s Natural Medicine Clinic: five years working and training in-depth with Dr. Jason Hawrelak, a renowned expert in microbiome science.
Graduate of Dr. Moira Bradfield Strydom’s Vagiversity, Holistic Training for Vaginal and Urinary Health.
More than 18 years experience working as a naturopath and herbal medicine practitioner.
See my website for a full list of my qualifications and professional experience.
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of both the science and practical application of microbiome health in clinical practice. I’m excited to share this knowledge with you through this series, empowering you to enhance your clinical skills and unlock the transformative potential of the microbiome for your patients.
