Frequently asked questions:

• Why working with Sviatlana Starr instead of listening to a Gut-Hypnotherapy App?
  -As any app, gut-hypnotherapy apps provide general, ‘one size fits all’ approach, which is not as effective, as individually tailored gut-hypnotherapy sessions, provided by a properly qualified and experienced gut-directed hypnotherapist. Secondly, the gut-hypnotherapy apps are mainly for IBS, while gut-hypnotherapy sessions with Sviatlana are helpful also for clients suffering from other functional gut disorders or IBD. Thirdly, the gut-hypnotherapy App doesn’t teach you skills how to prevent overwhelm or how to deal with stress, worries, anxiety or how to lift depression; how to improve insomnia or deal with chronic pain-all these issues are common among people with functional gut disorders or IBD and Sviatlana uses her professional skills in applying medical hypnosis and psychotherapy to improve these issues too if needed.
• What makes Sviatlana different from other gut-directed hypnotherapists?-A lot of gut-directed hypnotherapists are not accredited hypnotherapists: they were simply taught how to read the same hypnotic scripts to all their clients. Having a Nationally Accredited Diploma in Hypnotherapy and many years of experience in applying medical hypnosis to suit the needs of a particular person in front of her, makes Sviatlana’s approach as tailored to your individual needs, as possible. She’s been doing gut- hypnotherapy since 2015. Apart from working privately in several locations around Sydney and on Zoom, she used to work for several years in Melbourne at the Functional Gut Disorders Unit at the Alfred Hospital, being part of the medical team, specializing in functional gut disorders, which included also Professor Peter Gibson, who pioneered the creation of the low FODMAP diet.
