Michelle’s vision for The Digestion Co. (TDC) was shaped in part by her own diagnosis of coeliac disease in 2012. At the time, Michelle was given little more than a pamphlet on the “gluten-free diet,” with no additional guidance or support from a specialist. She was left feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and confused as she tried to self-navigate the complexities of a lifelong diagnosis.

After graduating as a dietitian and working in private practice, Michelle quickly realised her experience was far from unique. Over the years, she has worked with hundreds of clients who similarly felt unsupported and under-resourced when it came to managing their digestive health.

These experiences ultimately led Michelle to create The Digestion Co. — a true “one-stop gut shop,” where clients can feel confident they are receiving expert, evidence-based care that is practical, personalised, and focused on improving gut health and managing digestive conditions with clarity and compassion.

When Michelle isn’t in clinic, you might find her at a local fun run or with her labradoodle, Donny.
