Why You Should Work With Me
At Sorcha’s Healthy Living, I believe gut health support should be personalised, evidence-based, and realistic.
Many people come to me after trying multiple diets, supplements, or plans that didn’t quite work. Often, this is because gut health is complex — and questionnaires alone don’t always capture what’s really going on.
That’s why my personalised gut health packages include laboratory-based gut microbiome testing through an accredited UK provider (YourGutMap). This allows us to move beyond guesswork and build a clearer picture of your unique gut microbiome.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I combine:
-
A detailed nutrition and lifestyle assessment
-
Microbiome test results explained in clear, simple language
-
One-to-one consultations
-
Practical, achievable nutrition guidance
-
Ongoing support to help you make sustainable changes
My focus isn’t on restriction or quick fixes. Instead, I aim to help you understand your body, nourish your gut, and make changes that fit into real life.
With a background in food science and nutrition, and personal experience of living with chronic illness, I bring both scientific knowledge and compassion to my work. I understand that health is never just about food — it’s about lifestyle, stress, energy, and feeling supported along the way.
Whether you’re dealing with digestive discomfort, low energy, or simply want to improve your gut health, my goal is to support you with a calm, supportive, and science-led approach.

Why Choose Me?
I believe keeping your body healthy isn’t just about eating ‘healthy food’. It is a combination of fuelling your body with the nutrients it need, enjoying food and staying physically active to the best of your ability. By achieving these three things you are doing your part in keeping your body healthy. I won’t make you do crazy restrictive diets that cut out all your favourites! You might have to try some new foods, or maybe reduce your intake of certain foods for a while to get your gut microbiome balanced again, but once you start feeling the benefits you will never go back.
Tailored Meal Plans
You’ll receive customized meal plans that are built specifically with your gut microbiome results in mind. Your gut microbiome is unique, and so should your meal plan!
Ongoing Support
We are with you every step of the way. Regular check-ins and adjustments to your plan ensure that you’re on the right track. Have questions or need guidance? We’re just a message away.
Education
Understanding the “why” behind your nutrition plan is crucial. Once your microbiome results are in I will go through them step-by-step. Any questions you have I will do my best to answer so you know exactly what’s going on inside your gut. Knowledge is power!
Accountability
I will help you stay on track and motivated. Your progress is tracked and celebrated, keeping you motivated to achieve your goals.
