UNCOVER
the power of Gut Directed Hypnotherapy
Nice to meet you
Hi, I’m Tony Yuile — a clinical hypnotherapist and mind-body wellbeing coach. I help people living with IBS, and similar functional gastrointestinal disorders, find significant, long-term relief through evidence-based gut-directed hypnotherapy (GDH).
My path to helping people suffering with IBS.
For over a decade, I specialised in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, and trauma. But when I came across compelling clinical research showing that GDH can reduce IBS symptoms by up to 80%, I knew I had to dig deeper.
I discovered that IBS is a very common chronic condition that affects an estimated 12% of the global population. For those with moderate to severe IBS, the condition can severely disrupt, and in many cases destroy, their lives — not just through the physical symptoms, but also through emotional distress, social limitations, and reduced quality of life.
And perhaps the biggest surprise for me as a clinical hypnotherapist was that as yet, the availability and access to GDH remains limited.
What I found was eye-opening.
I chose to specialise in GDH to help address the lack of GDH currently available to people. I believe people living with IBS deserve more than symptom management — they deserve lasting relief and and a better quality of life - and that’s what GDH can provide.
Now, I work with people who feel like they’ve run out of options — often after years of trying diets, medications, and protocols that never brought lasting relief. GDH offers something different: an evidence-based way to reset the communication loop between the brain and the gut — known as the gut–brain axis — which plays a key role in creating and maintaining IBS symptoms. By resetting this communication system, we create the conditions for real, sustained change.
Those discoveries changed the direction of my work.

What Does IBS Really Feel Like?
IBS isn’t just one symptom — it’s a daily mix of discomfort, unpredictability, and frustration. From altered bowel habits and abdominal pain to bloating and IBS-related anxiety, these symptoms can quietly take over your life.
Each link below explores one of the core symptoms of IBS — and how gut-directed hypnotherapy can help bring lasting relief by calming the gut–brain connection at the source.

The FREEDOM FROM IBS Program
It’s time to experience the power of gut-directed hypnotherapy
Why Choose Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy for IBS Relief?
The Freedom From IBS Program is a multimodal approach designed to restore healthy communication between your gut and brain — the core dysfunction in IBS.
At the heart of the protocol is Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy (GDH) — an evidence-based intervention shown in multiple clinical studies to help 70–80% of people with IBS find significant, long-lasting relief.
But GDH is just one part of the solution.
The protocol also integrates:
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT)
Metaphors of Movement Therapy
Psychosensory Therapies
This integrative approach targets not just symptoms — but the underlying dysregulation in your gut-brain axis, often maintained by chronic stress, anxiety, and nervous system hyperarousal.
If you’ve already tried diets, medication, or supplements without sustainable relief, the Freedom From IBS Protocol might be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.
Take your first step towards freedom from IBS.
