I started working with Marilia two months ago, when I was desperate for help with my digestion. I was constantly bloated (I looked 3 months pregnant most of the time), had persistent acid reflux, antisocial bowel habits and life altering fatigue. I struggled with daily tasks which, as a Mum to two young boys, was just not sustainable. I had tried doctors, naturopaths and nutritionists but was neither finding support, nor the information to understand my condition. I stumbled upon Marilia’s name in a magazine article and headed straight to her website which told a story - her story - so similar to mine. Marilia is hugely professional in her approach and genuine in her desire to help. She is also passionate about her work and keen to share her knowledge in ‘digestible’ format. My digestion and relationship to food have vastly improved since working with Marilia. I went on a low FODMAP diet and felt a difference within 48 hours. Although daunting at first, with the right information from Marilia, the huge improvement meant I did not diverge from the diet once. If you’ve on the fence just jump in. You will not regret working with Marilia. I thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend her!

Over a decade ago I developed chronic gut issues after a bout of food poisoning. I took all the tests available at the time and was finally given a diagnosis of "IBS" and directed to a psychiatrist. I accepted the explanation that my symptoms must be related to mental health and that one day I would "grow out of it". How wrong I was! Last year I stumbled across an article online about IBS that eventually led me to Marilia. Working with her has transformed my health. After our initial consultation, she recommended supplements that made an instant difference. Under her advice, I went on to take tests that led to a SIBO diagnosis and a tailored plan has significantly improved my symptoms. Marilia's help didn't stop there, her holistic approach and in depth knowledge has also supported my hormonal health. I had very heavy periods, which doctors tested for and couldn't determine the cause. I was prescribed medication to manage it and sent on my way. On Day 1, Marilia picked up on this and anticipated improving my gut health would help with the heavy periods. She was right! I no longer have to take medication during my period. My only regret is that I didn't find Marilia sooner!

I have no hesitation in recommending Marilia. I came across her during a very dark time with my son. Both NHS and private doctors could not work out what was the matter. After taking a detailed report of all his symptoms and general health, Marilia was able to make several considered suggestions, one of which was transformative from week 1. She worked with us to really heal my sons gut. She is a qualified and experienced expert but what sets her apart from others is her incredible empathy.

Marilia is an excellent gut health specialist. I worked with her to resolve my SIBO and found her to be very knowledgeable and professional. After every consultation she sent action plans and replied to all my questions within a day or two. Most importantly she stays on top of the latest research and offers the most advanced tests. I am very happy that I found Marilia and would recommend her to anyone suffering from gut health conditions.

Marilia has been incredible in helping me understand the root cause of years worth of digestive issues and the best treatment. She has an in-depth knowledge of the latest research, tests and supplements, she’s also very supportive and motivating. I have never been so close to finally feeling 100%. You’re in good hands when you come to Marilia!

After years of struggling with my gut health, countless doctor visits and never reaching a point where I felt in control or even confident in understanding my gut and my symptoms, I happened upon Marilia's Instagram page on an afternoon when my symptoms were overwhelming me yet again. From the first consultation through to our last, I have felt heard and understood and that Marilia didn't just label my condition but went extra lengths to understand my personal case and to support me in identifying my triggers and addressing my personal gut instability. Her knowledge is empowering and changed how I treat myself. Her support between appointments allowed me to reach out on tough days. Working with Marilia has transformed so much of my day to day eating, how I treat my body and enabled me to make better choices in how I look after my gut. I recommend Marilia's services to anyone and everyone as it has been life changing.

Marilia is an excellent gut health specialist. After years struggling with IBS and trying to solve the problem myself I decided it was time to consult with an expert. Marilia is very supportive and went extra lengths to understand my case. With her help I could identify my triggers and implement changes in my diet and lifestyle. I'm so happy that I found Marilia and would recommend her to anyone suffering from gut health conditions.

My tiny baby had a serious issue with her gut, allergic proctocolitis. She was reacting seemingly to almost all foods through my milk. We saw NHS doctors, private paediatricians and GIT specialists. We were seeing doctor after doctor but hitting a dead end. Marilia changed everything! Her empathy, deep knowledge and guidance helped us in our darkest times when I had given up. I cannot thank Marilia enough. As a doctor myself I respect her work, knowledge and guidance. One correct advice gave us back our smiles. Thank you from all my heart!

Marilia’s knowledge and expertise within functional medicine blew me away from day one. Our first video consultation, the protocols provided and follow up advice has all being excellent and detailed. She has made a substantial difference to my IBS and SIBO symptoms from a dietary, supplement and wellness perspective.

After a horrid bought of gastritis a few years back my digestive system was compromised and it has not been the same since. I’ve been following Marilia’s guidelines for 2 months now and feel so much better, my tiredness has improved, my bloating has subsided and my skin and hair feel better. Overall I am so happy and will continue to strive to include her recommendations in my daily life.
