A 10-day live experience with Helen Brooks

The IBS Rebellion

Over 10 days, I'll show you how to work with the gut-brain connection to ease symptoms and calm your gut. I'll help you rebel against food rules and restrictions and discover a new pathway to long-term relief.

IBS isn't just about food.

IBS is now clinically recognised as a disorder of gut-brain interaction — meaning your symptoms are shaped by the communication between your gut and your brain, not just by what you eat.

By the time people come to me, they've often tried numerous diets and restrictions, supplements and medications. What's often had far less attention is the gut-brain connection itself — the area I specialise in.

That's why you can do everything "right" with food and still have an unpredictable gut and symptoms that just won't ease.

Now let's learn how.

That's exactly what we're going to do together inside The IBS Rebellion.

Over 10 days, we're going to move beyond simply understanding the gut-brain connection and actually start working with it — helping to calm your gut, reduce sensitivity and move towards relief.

This isn't another 10 days of information to consume. We're going to do the work together.

I've supported more than 4,000 people, and one of the most important things I've learned is that IBS rarely gives us the whole story from the symptom alone.

When somebody comes to work with me, I don't simply look at their symptoms and hand them a generic list of things to try.

I get curious. I ask questions. I look for patterns. I join dots.

I look at what may have triggered symptoms in the first place, what's maintaining them now, what amplifies them, and how the gut, brain and nervous system may be interacting for that individual person.

During The IBS Rebellion, I'm going to take you behind the scenes of that process.

I'll guide you through the kinds of questions I'd be asking and help you start looking for the patterns in your own IBS. And we'll work through some of the practical approaches I use with clients, including nervous system regulation and gut-directed hypnotherapy.

So you're not just learning more about IBS. You're putting that into practice.

Time commitment: 3 x 45-minute live workshops + 2 x 30-minute Regulate & Restore sessions across the 10 days, plus your own gut-directed hypnotherapy audio to use in between. Can't make a session live? Every session is recorded, with replays available until 2nd November.

What you'll get from these 10 days

You'll have started to:

  • Understand why your IBS may still be continuing even after diets, supplements, medication or clear medical tests.

  • Make sense of your own IBS pattern — not another generic list of things you're "supposed" to do.

  • Spot the factors that may be triggering, maintaining or amplifying your symptoms, and start seeing connections you've never noticed before.

  • Learn practical ways to work with your gut, brain and nervous system, instead of putting all your energy into controlling food and avoiding symptoms.

  • Experience gut-brain approaches for yourself — including nervous system regulation and gut-directed hypnotherapy.

  • Walk away with a clear next step, and a real sense of what working towards lasting relief looks like for you.

Food was never the whole story — and now you'll know the rest of it.

Here's what we'll do together

    Live Workshop 145 minutesMonday 19th October, 7:30pm

    Understanding IBS Through the Gut-Brain Lens

    Let's start by changing the way you understand what's happening in your gut. I'll take you deeper into the connection between your gut, brain and nervous system and show you why symptoms can continue even when you've changed your diet, followed the advice and done everything you thought you were supposed to do. We'll start looking beyond "What did I eat?" and towards the much bigger picture of what's happening in IBS.

    Regulate & Restore30 minutesWednesday 21st October, 7:30pm

    Working With Your Nervous System

    Less talking. More doing. I'll guide you through practical ways of working with your nervous system and body, so you can begin experiencing what it means to influence your state rather than simply trying to think yourself calm. You'll leave with techniques you can keep practising in everyday life.

    Live Workshop 245 minutesFriday 23rd October, 1:00pm

    Let Me Show You What I Look For

    This is where I'll take you inside the detective work I use with my own clients — the questions I ask, the patterns I look for when I'm trying to understand why someone's IBS is behaving the way it is. We'll explore what may have triggered your symptoms, what could be maintaining them now, what amplifies them, and the patterns you've developed around your gut over time. You'll be doing the detective work on your own IBS alongside me, joining dots you may never have joined before.

    Regulate & Restore30 minutesMonday 26th October, 7:30pm

    Experience Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy

    This time, you'll experience one of the approaches I've specialised in using with IBS. I'll guide you through a live gut-directed hypnotherapy session so you can experience what it's like to deliberately work with the gut-brain connection. You'll also receive your own gut-directed hypnotherapy audio to use throughout The IBS Rebellion.

    Your Path Forward

    This is where we bring everything together — what you've discovered about your IBS, what you've learned from actually working with the gut-brain connection, and where your attention needs to go from here. There'll be time for your questions, so you can get clearer on anything that's come up along the way. You'll leave knowing what to work on, why it matters, and what your next steps could be if you're ready to keep going.

Hi, I'm Helen.

I specialise in the gut-brain side of IBS — using gut-directed hypnotherapy alongside evidence-based approaches that work with the connection between the brain, body and nervous system. My practice, The Tummy Whisperer, was awarded Best IBS Treatment Provider – 2023, 2024 and 2025 in the Southern Enterprise Awards.

By the time people find me, they've often spent years trying to manage their gut. They've changed their diet. Cut things out. Tried supplements. Tracked symptoms. Planned journeys around toilets. Turned things down because they weren't sure what their gut would do.

And they're exhausted by it.

My work helps you stop your gut running the show — by understanding what's really driving your IBS beyond food and symptoms, and learning how to work with the gut-brain connection to find lasting relief.
