Hello and a warm welcome to my website.
My name is Gautami Woods, I am a Natural Healthcare Practitioner offering consultations online or in person from my clinic in Colchester, Essex.
I have over 14 years experience working with natural healthcare and specialise in the treatment of:
- digestive disorders including irritable bowel diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, constipation, recurrent heartburn and general gastrointestinal discomfort
- chronic fatigue and post-viral fatigue
- auto-immune conditions
- female hormonal issues and the menopause
I treat the individual as a whole and not just as a presenting set of symptoms. Humans are amazing beings with many aspects that comprise us as a whole person; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Physical ailments are linked to what’s happening for us at a mental/emotional level and vice-versa.
Fears and repressed feelings can all influence your body and its functioning. Illness and disease can become an opportunity to not only transform your physical health, but also to bring about healing on a deeper level. Yet, it is difficult for an individual to dissolve emotional blocks if their physical body is not getting what it needs to repair itself and get back into balance. This can drain your energy, leaving you feeling you have no resources left to deal with anything else.
I believe in giving your body the support it needs at every level – physical, nutritional, mental & emotional – to enable us to work together to heal the issues that are triggering your state of dis-ease.
I can order private laboratory testing including stool, urine and saliva analysis. I am also happy to work with other healthcare professionals such as your osteopath, doctor or personal trainer and have no problem referring you – if necessary for your treatment and you are in agreement.
I’m also experienced in treating clients suffering with:
- Aching muscles and joints (not from exercise)
- Skin complaints, Acne, Eczema,
- Migraines
- Emotional trauma and Stress
You can make an appointment through my website, email me directly or book-in for a free 15 minute, no obligation phone consultation.
Whichever way you choose, I welcome hearing from you and having the opportunity to work together to help you feel better inside and out.
I look forward to bringing you back to optimum health!

Nutritional Therapy
Gautami is a qualified Nutritionist specialising in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and digestive issues. Foods themselves do not cause IBS, rather a malfunction somewhere along the digestive tract. Humans should be able to eat a balanced diet and enjoy their favourite foods without worrying about how they will feel afterwards. Gautami identifies where the digestive dysbiosis is occurring and pinpoints what needs to be done to return the digestive system to correct, balanced functioning. You will receive an individually tailored diet-plan to help you heal and return to full health. Gautami may suggest specific herbs, nutrition, certain strains of probiotic and anti-stress techniques. As part of the service, Gautami is available for ongoing support throughout your treatment programme, so you never need to worry what you should eat… with Gautami’s successful track record, you can be assured your cramps, bloating and digestive troubles will become a distant memory!
What is Kinesiology?
Gautami treats an individual as a whole and not just as a presenting set of symptoms.
Kinesiology is one of the few systems of healthcare that can be considered truly holistic, as it treats the individual physically, nutritionally, mentally, emotionally and energetically. All of these factors contribute to our state of health, and any combination of factors may be contributing at one time to cause ailments.
A Kinesiologist is able to test which aspect is causing an imbalance. Mental factors include our emotions, thoughts, beliefs and attitudes about the past, present or future.
Kinesiology uses gentle yet powerful, non-invasive techniques and muscle testing to identify and correct imbalances that are preventing you from feeling better.
