Gut Health Naturopath Brisbane
Work with a gut health naturopath in Brisbane offering personalised, evidence-informed digestive support for people who haven’t found lasting relief elsewhere.
Bloating, IBS, reflux and ongoing gut discomfort can be frustrating — especially when tests are “normal” but you still don’t feel right.
This is a calmer, more thoughtful approach to digestive health.

Natural Digestive Support That Looks Beyond Symptoms
Bloating. Reflux. IBS. Food reactions. Ongoing gut discomfort.
If you’ve tried medications, elimination diets or supplements and still don’t feel right, you’re not alone.
I’m Norelle Hentschel, a degree-qualified Naturopath in Brisbane with a clinical focus on integrative digestive health.
I help people who feel stuck with ongoing digestive symptoms by taking the time to understand why their gut isn’t functioning as it should — not just managing symptoms.
A Different Approach to Digestive Health
Many people come to see me after being told:
- “Your tests are normal”
- “It’s just IBS”
- “You’ll need to manage this long-term”
While these experiences are real and valid, they don’t always explain what’s driving the symptoms.
As a gut health naturopath, I look at:
- Digestive function (acid, enzymes, bile)
- Gut microbiome health
- Food tolerance and gut lining integrity
- Inflammation, stress and nervous system input
- Diet and nutrition
- Medication history and long-term impacts on digestion
This allows us to create a plan that’s individual, realistic and supportive — not restrictive or overwhelming.
Digestive Conditions I Commonly Support
I regularly work with people experiencing
🌿 Bloating and excessive gas
🌿 Reflux and heartburn
🌿 IBS (constipation, diarrhoea or mixed)
🌿 Food sensitivities or intolerances
🌿 Abdominal discomfort or pain
🌿 Gut symptoms associated with stress or anxiety
🌿 Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis)
🌿 Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
🌿 Digestive changes alongside skin, immune or hormone concerns
Naturopathic gut health treatments work alongside your standard medical care.
What Makes My Approach Different
✔️ Degree-Qualified & Clinically Experienced
I hold a Master of Advanced Naturopathic Medicine, have postgraduate training in integrative gastroenterology, and I’ve been in continual clinical practice since 2015.
✔️ Root-Cause Focused
Rather than a “one-size-fits-all gut protocol”, your plan is based on your symptoms, history, lifestyle and goals.
✔️ Evidence-Informed, Not Trend-Driven
I integrate traditional naturopathic principles with current digestive health research, functional testing where appropriate, and clinically relevant nutritional advice.
✔️ Realistic & Sustainable
No unnecessary food fear. No extreme restriction. Support that fits into real life.
✔️ Collaborative Care
I regularly work alongside GPs and specialists to ensure your care is safe, coordinated and appropriate.

Testing & Assessment (When Appropriate)
Testing isn’t always required — but when it is, it can provide clarity.
Depending on your case, this may include
- Functional gut testing
- Microbiome testing
- Nutrient and digestive marker assessment
- Review of previous pathology results
All testing is clinically justified and discussed clearly before proceeding.

Frequently asked questions about naturopathy and gut health
Can a naturopath help with gut health?
A naturopath can provide personalised nutritional, lifestyle and herbal medicine support for digestive health, alongside appropriate medical care.
Do I need testing before starting?
Not always. Many cases improve with a thorough history and targeted support. Testing is discussed if clinically relevant.
I’ve been diagnosed with IBS — can you help?
Yes. Many people with IBS seek naturopathic support to better understand triggers and support gut function. We work alongside your standard medical care.
Is this safe alongside medications?
Yes. I always review medications to and coordinate care where needed.
Do you offer online consultations?
Yes — online gut health consultations are available Australia-wide. ** Due to insurance restrictions, I can’t consult with anyone outside of Australia.
What are your qualifications?
I hold an undergraduate Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) and a post graduate Master of Advanced Naturopathic Medicine. I am a professional member of the Australian Naturopathic Practitioners Association (ANPA) which requires me to hold all appropriate insurances and complete on-going professional development education to ensure my care aligns with current best practice.
How much does a consultation cost?
Consultation fees are transparent and available before booking. Fees are for consults only. Any products purchased from the dispensary are an additional cost.
The current consultation fees can be found on the Book a consult page. Naturopathy is not covered by Medicare. Some private health insurance funds offer rebates for Naturopathy. Check with your fund for details.
