About
Lorraine Cooney is a specialist gut health dietitian, supporting clients with IBS, Crohn’s and Colitis, and a wide range of digestive conditions. She has a proven track record in using evidence-based nutrition interventions, including identifying dietary triggers, providing low FODMAP guidance, and helping people expand their diet to improve gut health. She is also one of the few dietitians trained in gut-directed hypnotherapy, an evidence-based approach shown to ease IBS symptoms by calming the gut–brain axis.
Lorraine blends personalised diet, hypnotherapy, lifestyle strategies, and behaviour-change techniques, including motivational interviewing, to help people move from daily discomfort to feeling more confident and in control of their gut health.
She provides flexible options to suit every need, including personalised 1:1 consultations and her signature group coaching programme, the Calm Gut Formula. With a range of price points and the ability to claim through health insurance providers, expert care is accessible to more people seeking real relief.
Drawing on both her clinical expertise and her own lived experience of gut symptoms, Lorraine understands how disruptive bloating, constipation, and unpredictable bowel patterns can be. Her style is clear, calm, and collaborative, ensuring clients feel understood and supported from their first appointment.
She is also the author of two books: Gut Feeling (2017), a low FODMAP recipe and reference guide, and Why You Can’t Go (2024), focused on helping people understand and manage constipation. Her research consistently demonstrates high success rates across her interventions, comparable to—and often exceeding—published studies. In addition to her clinical work, she is a guest lecturer at three universities, teaching and inspiring future dietitians.
Lorraine’s mission is simple: to help people find real relief, rebuild trust in their gut, and regain the quality of life they deserve.
