Real mentoring for real clinical challenges

There’s a moment in practice where you realise the protocols aren’t enough. You’re doing your best, but complex cases - especially those involving SIBO, histamine, microbial dysbiosis or nervous system fragility - don’t always follow the textbook.

You’re not alone in that.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone either.

The SIBO & Microbiome Mentorship Series is a live, interactive program designed to support clinicians in the real world. It’s where you can bring your trickiest cases, ask the questions you’ve been sitting on, and deepen your clinical thinking in a space that’s practical, honest, and grounded.

This series is open to qualified practitioners in active clinical practice, including:

  • Naturopaths

  • Nutritionists

  • Clinical herbalists

  • Integrative GP’s

It’s ideal for those who:

  • Work with SIBO, IBS, food intolerance, or gut-brain presentations

  • Feel under-supported in navigating complex cases

  • Are looking for clarity around testing, prescribing, and sequencing care

  • Want mentoring that’s rigorous, relational, and collaborative

  • Need structure, but not more overwhelm

“Chantel’s course was fantastic! The intimate group setting allowed for great interaction and support with complex cases. She covered the basics for those beginners, while also sharing her advanced knowledge, making it valuable for both new and experienced practitioners. I highly recommend this course for anyone working in the gut microbiome space and will probably join it again in the future for case support! I even had to invite Chantel onto my podcast and pick her brain, which I loved!”

"As an avid microbiome researcher and gut health practitioner myself, I have relied on Chantel for guidance and mentoring to ensure I'm up to date with the latest research and practical clinical support for my clients.
