nore transforms the lives of people with health issues using root cause medicine, with the breakthrough option of psych-k to reduce overriding stress & free hidden blockages
Many people who have seen me feel like they’re tried a lot of things. But they haven’t had a practitioner do a thorough assessment and put a plan together to identify and resolve the underlying causes at a deep, mind-body level.
In my practice I:
Deal with the root cause of health problems and not just the symptoms
Identify imbalances rather than diseases
View the body as interconnected and not as separate parts
Restore lasting balance
Empower you to manage your own body
Resolve mind-body blockages

Gut & Digestive Health – Halitosis, Bloating, IBS, Oxalates, Constipation
Hormones and Thyroid – Menopause, Amenorrhoea, Hypo- and Hyper-Thyroidism etc
Autoimmunity – All including Coeliac Disease, Lichen Sclerosis
Skin Conditions – Acne, Eczema, Dermatitis, Rosacea
Weight loss – The power of testing combined with the mind
Psych-K & Mindset Coaching – Removing subconscious blockages
“Your health is the science of cell health.
When the needs of your cells are not met, disease sets in.
When they’re met, healing can begin.”
“I highly recommend Nore as an exceptional nutritionist. Despite not meeting in person, Nore’s expertise, empathy, and dedication shine through during virtual consultations. She actively listens to concerns, provides tailored recommendations, and stays up to date with the latest research.
Nore’s expertise and guidance have been invaluable to my well-being.
Her holistic approach to healing, combined with her personalised treatment plans, have led to significant improvements in my overall health. She empowers me to take charge of my well-being, providing practical recommendations and supporting me on my journey to wellness, even from a distance.
With her as your nutritionist, you’ll receive top-notch care and support, even from a distance.”
“ If it wasn’t for Nore I would still be stuck in bed, able to do very little.
Since commencing my consults and thorough testing with Nore I have been able to sort out my diet to prevent further weight loss, regain considerably more strength and ability and am even able to use my ultra light wheelchair independently some of the time. This is huge for me after being basically bed-bound, including periodic paralysis, since April 2020.
I also like Nore’s very calm approach during our consults.
I would definitely recommend her for anyone, but particularly for people like me who may have reached the end of the road and are in despair.
A good nutritional therapist like Nore can definitely help. I know, because I have just self-published my first children’s picture story book, which was just an impossibly distant dream 18 months ago!”
“A year and a half ago, I had a fall at work and suffered from a Traumatic Brain Injury. For six months, I wasn’t able to work or do much. And then, instead off improving after all these months, things got even worse. The pressure in my head increased causing terrible headache and exhaustion.
Doctors didn’t recognize the symptoms of neuro- inflammation. After a year and a half and several therapies, there was only one thing left I could do to get my life back: diet and supplements.
Could it be that you are a magician, Nore? I went from having daily headaches, constant pressure in my head and needing to take migraine medicine and paracetamol every day, to having no pressure in my head and zero medication. And that in only 4 weeks.
What a GP, neurologist, company doctor and rehabilitation doctor couldn’t do, you did 😀. I’m feeling so much better. Thanks Nore!”

“By helping people become healthier, I hope to make the world not just a healthier place, but a calmer and happier one that’s more in tune with its environment.”
my story
I was healthy until my mid forties. I ate well, loved my veggies, and regularly detoxed and fasted long before those practices were popular.
Until I suddenly struggled to do much at all. I sat on the couch, unable to move for hours, telling myself I was just exhausted, or even being lazy. I largely blamed my adrenals after having had some crazy 24/7 jobs for years.
How could I work and earn money?
At that time, I wasn’t yet putting together my twice weekly migraines, the two frozen shoulders, nasty shoulder damage that required surgery, worsening numbness and pain in my hands and feet, growing food sensitivities, my need for sugar and bouts of disordered eating, and the way I needed to take anti-inflammatories to function, as being part of an emerging picture of disease. I also knew nothing about being in peri-menopause, let alone the impact on women’s bodies of declining hormones.
Then one night, after a minor disagreement with a family member, I decided I wasn’t hungry or going to cook dinner as planned. My husband said I should have something and offered to make me a fresh vegetable juice. I reluctantly accepted. After drinking it the pain go my frozen shoulder, which was at its worst, quickly reduced by two thirds, and my fever went too.
Could this be because of the vegetable juice? Wow.
This was the beginning of my personal health journey, which involved integrative and complementary medicine to heal IBS, food allergies and sensitivities, autoimmunity, mould (CIRS), hyperoxaluria and more.
It was also the beginning of my pathway to becoming a practitioner, which began with yoga and yoga therapy training, then health coaching, next nutrition, and finally functional medicine, with many specialty courses along the way. All the sciency stuff.
Yet sometimes I had clients who did all the right things, and while they felt significantly better, they weren’t fully healed (this was my story too until I let go of the belief that I was a complex and difficult case, and maybe I would never be back to full health).
Why not?
I started doing a deep dive into stress, the nervous system and how trauma and negative beliefs can impact every cell in our body (our building blocks). I always remembered in my early twenties when I used to get bad cramping and pain in my gut. I worked out it only happened every time I went to a night bar job I hated, including because I had to leave my baby daughter at home. When I quit that job and got a different one in the day, my symptoms went away.
So yes, we are physical beings living in a 3D world made up of vibrating molecules or energy. But we are much more than that. We are also energetic, and even spiritual beings. This was big for me as I grew up in an atheist–humanist household and my father was a skeptic, yet from an early age I felt I was connected to something more than just myself.
Increasingly, I became interested in so-called energetic medicine as discussed by Bruce Lipton and Joe Dispenza in their books (this is the same energy we use for modern scanning like MRIs and PET scans, so we know it’s real). I became a Transformation Life Coach and then trained in Psych-K, or how to remove subconscious blocks to improve physiological, psychological and mental wellbeing. Part of its power is that it embeds in the conscious mind and physical world through action, so it’s more than just the airy fairy or theoretical.
At first I believed Psych-K was subtle, and didn’t practice it a lot. Then, after some time, I found myself being drawn to it again, and it started making more of a difference. The more I trained and deeper I went, the greater its impact.
Then one day, as if to prove the power of Psych-K to myself once and for all, my right knee was crying out for help. I used it a 5-minute balance process on it and within minutes my range of motion improved to normal after not being able to bend it past 90 degrees for over 21 months. The pain and swelling disappeared too. Wow!
Our physical problems are messages from our body and mind that something is wrong. The question is, how bad are we going to let it get before we listen and do something about it?
I use Psych-K most days for my health and other life challenges, and with some of my clients too. Yes, the functional health and natural medicine side of things is undoubtedly important. But equally so is the rest of who we are. These parts of us are not separate, but part of our whole.

testimonials
“Nore has been an incredible help in helping me find balance in my digestion and nutrition again. After having been classified with mold illness and feeling so incredibly stuck in my treatments, Nore helped me find a path back to a regular diet and feeling healthy and normal again. I couldn’t have done it without her.”
“Psych-K made me feel calmer, stronger and more accepting of myself, others and my situation.”
“Friendly, professional and straight to the point. My entire experience with this service was the answer I had been looking for after so long. Great advice, very informed and always generous with time. If you are chasing after that illusive cure and are feeling like you’ll never find it, do yourself a favour and give this a shot before throwing in the towel.”
“It was a relief to learn of Nore through our mould home remediator and close friend. The fact that Nore had lived & experienced mould illness, I felt she had an empathy and understanding of what I was going through and how I was feeling. Her calm personality was helpful because I had experienced PTSD from living in two water damaged homes!
Thanks to Nore, I am now on a journey to recovery because of her expertise and health protocols. I’m looking forward to completing the three tests she suggested to me, and believe that with her help, I can once again regain optimum health.
I have already recommended Nore to family members and friends. I would recommend her because of her health knowledge and the fact that she has walked the journey, understands and has empathy!”
“For most of my life, I had terrible eating habits and bad body image. Often, I would be afraid to wear the things I wanted, as I didn’t like the way they looked on me. I was so disappointed with myself for allowing my weight gain to reach that stage. Sometimes, I would punish my body by eating nothing at all, in a bid to lose weight.
Over the years, I tried just about every diet imaginable, though was unable to sustain any of these in the long-term. When I got engaged, like most women, I wanted to make sure my body looked great for the big day. I felt sad that I had mistreated my body for so long, and made myself a promise to start treating it right by eating healthy.
Everything changed when I met the amazing Nore. She had changed the way I think about my body, and helped me to maintain clean eating habits that are natural and right for my body. By giving my lifestyle a total overhaul, I no longer have to “diet”, but have still achieved incredible weight loss results. Best of all, I feel as good on the inside as I do on the outside. I never thought I would feel so confident about my body! Nore, I cannot thank you enough!”
“Working with Nore at Gutsy By Nutrition has completely transformed my health. I was struggling with several chronic issues with my liver, gut imbalances, and digestive issues. From the moment I begin working with Nore, she has worked with me side-by-side; guiding me every step of the way ... With her knowledge and expertise, she was able to get to the root of my chronic issues. Nore at Gutsy By Nutrition has my highest recommendation. My health has improved significantly and I now have a better understanding of how to use food for nutrition.”
“With Nore’s help, I’ve been able to identify the root cause of symptoms that I’ve struggled with for years. Her knowledge, experience, and care is second to none. I feel energised, don’t need as much sleep, and am empowered and inspired to continue. I’m so grateful I came across her.”
“I am a Functional Nutritionist myself and Nore has been helping me with mould/SIBO/Candida issues. She is by far the most knowledgeable person I know, and my health has improved as well as my 1 year old son’s. I am currently breastfeeding and I trust Nore so much in helping me and my son.
We are still on a healing journey and we know that it is going to take a while, and Nore has been so supportive mentally as it is a rough journey. I seriously don’t know how I would have coped without Nore. Moreover her knowledge is so broad not just limited to mould. I am so grateful and I feel very fortunate to have been able to consult with her.
I highly recommend Nore as she is smart, wise and intuitive at the same time. Much love.”
“I think everyone should do this. After just 3 weeks I’m not walking around, I’m leaping.”
“Nore has been a great help in taking my health to the next level. I have more energy, I have lost weight, improved my thyroid, which doctors kept saying was fine even though I was tired all the time, losing my hair and couldn’t lose weight. For the first time in a long time I am looking forward to summer as I feel more energetic and can’t wait to go do the things I love.”
“Nore is incredible. She is kind, insightful and brings a wealth of experience in holistic healthcare. My daughter suffered fairly severe eczema and we are now at a point of being 99% eczema free. Would highly recommend for any health concerns.”
“ I had a range of small health issues that were really beginning to affect my lifestyle, but medical solutions didn’t help. Nore helped me get rid of them all. Who would have thought that by healing my gut, fine tuning my diet and taking supplements along the way, I’d feel 25 again! I reckon if I’d done this earlier I’d have been more powerful, stronger and focussed in my life. ”
“Nore came recommended to me as I was looking to bring my life, and weight, back into order after too many years in corporate life and also a life changing event.
I was very appreciative of the cool, controlled manner in which Nore handled our first exploratory interview. Her knowledge of what makes our systems work, and how indicators can best be used to prescribe a healthier way to eat was impressive. I was enthused and enjoyed the challenge, especially the fact that one was not left starving, which had occurred to me previously when looking to drop a few kilograms.
What I have also come to realise is that the mind needs to be in the right place and the ‘want’ needs to be there as well as the initial kilos coming off.
But then I enjoyed 3 weeks of business travel where I slipped into poor habits. What was interesting was that I immediately felt bloated and unhealthy but this time I knew what I needed to eat to feel good again.
I have also appreciated the touch-base sessions with Nore to reinforce learning or give additional information that can help the journey.
Would I recommend Nore? Definitely. But remember, you need to be ready and motivated to get the full value that Nore can offer.”
