When your bladder is literally controlling (and limiting) your life... 

As somebody suffering from chronic bladder pain, interstitial cystitis, or recurring UTIs, chances are, you’re at your wit’s end. 

Urine samples are coming back “normal”, and you’ve been given the “all clear” by your GP — despite ongoing symptoms. Day after day, you feel exhausted and frustrated that nobody can find a solution, and you start to think, “maybe this is just my life now”...

And so you push the pain aside and tell yourself to just get on with it.
But the more you ignore it, the more the problems thrive...


  • You’re tired of not being taken seriously by your medical team or being told: “it’s all in your head”. 
  • You’re lonely because nobody quite “gets it”, and you’re embarrassed to talk about it with friends or family. 
  • Your relationship is starting to deteriorate. Sex is off the agenda again, and the thought of getting intimate makes you squirm.
  • You’re feeling paralysed or stuck by all the conflicting advice and tips from online “experts” and forums. 
  • Your diet has become more restrictive by the day, yet you’re not seeing the results you had hoped for. 
  • You’ve exhausted all your options, from multiple rounds of antibiotics to restrictive or fad diets, and you’re starting to wonder if you’re “unfixable”.
  • You feel trapped as you watch your life become completely and utterly controlled by your bladder. 😕😣

Sounding scarily familiar?

It's time to forget everything you've been told about your bladder...
​

BOOK A FREE CHAT

A simple search on Google will produce an entire slew of advice on “managing” your symptoms. From filling your shopping cart with a restrictive, boring list of food, to the cupboards packed with “miracle-cure” aloe vera supplements. Not to mention the multiple rounds of antibiotics and antihistamines that didn’t deliver on promise. 
​​ ​
It’s time to rewrite this narrative and wave bye-bye to myths and cookie-cutter advice. 

Because the truth is...

Food is not the enemy.


In fact, the right food can help reduce inflammation, calm your nervous system and soothe your bladder.

And that’s where tailored, expert, nutritional support comes in — to give you answers, provide clarity and the foundations of a clear roadmap where your bladder no longer controls you.

The result? 👇

Freedom from the urgency, the spasms, the disrupted sleep, the painful sex, the stinging & burning — and a guided practical route back to enjoying your life and feeling like yourself again 🙌

FREEDOM FROM BLADDER PAIN
I've been where you are.
In 2009, following an unresolved urinary tract infection, I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC). And truthfully, it had a totally devastating effect on my life. (You can read my full story and IC journey in this blog post).

I needed to pee every 20 minutes; I couldn’t walk to the shop or carry a shopping bag without lying down, and sitting on a chair for more than a few minutes was agony due to pelvic pain.

​My abdomen was permanently swollen, and wearing trousers, jeans or anything tight-fitting was impossible!  

I was in chronic pain, scared, lonely and downright miserable. 

After multiple rounds of antibiotics and treatments that had zero impact on my symptoms, like so many others, I took to the internet searching for answers. I was presented with generic, one-size-fits-all advice, cookie-cutter food plans and complicated, unrealistic “IC bladder diet” plans. 
I'm here to change that.

I created Heal your Bladder - my new 90-day 1:1 programme for those looking for more. 
​

This is a programme where we take a whole-body approach. Your symptoms are taken seriously and the solutions are whole-body focused. We address:
​
  • Bladder inflammation
  • Your gut microbiome
  • Your bladder microbiome
  • Stress (because being in constant pain is stressful!) 
  • Immune health
  • Pelvic floor health
  • Vaginal microbiome balance
  • Mindset, and so much more!

With my combined approach of clinical testing and tailored nutritional assessment, this programme can fine-tune any imbalances, address symptoms and get you on the path to a happier, healthier bladder 🙌

THIS WAY TO A HAPPIER BLADDER

Access to everything you need to go from bladder-flares to feeling great! ​

Meet Mary 👋

Hi, I'm Mary 👋

Picture
My journey started exactly where you are today — in pain, feeling hopeless and desperately searching for a solution. 
​
Through endless research and the guidance of a fantastic supportive nutritionist, I started to make changes that transformed my condition and ultimately turned my life around.

​I started to understand that improving health is not all about cutting "trigger" foods out - it’s also about nourishing the body with quality, nutrient-dense foods to support the healing process.

Today, through my private practice, Stellar Health, I support clients dealing with their own personal health challenges. My mission is to provide that same level of care and support that saved me so many years ago. 

I can help you cut through the nutritional jargon and develop a personalised and realistic nutrition-based framework to support your journey to a healthier, happier and more in control you!
​

Are you ready to take the first step?
I'm with you!

I WANT TO FEEL LIKE ME AGAIN

Why this programme is different...


​So you might be thinking, but Mary, I’ve tried switching up my diet and cutting out bladder "trigger" foods before, and it didn’t work. 

This programme is different. 

So many other solutions out there focus solely on the bladder. 
​
I take a whole-body approach. The gut, bladder, nervous system, pelvic floor- it’s all interconnected and to return balance, we need to support your body as a whole. 

This 90-day programme will focus on providing support for:

✔️ A healthy bladder lining 
✔️ Calming the nervous system
✔️ Repopulating the bladder with the right bladder probiotics
✔️ Addressing intimate health issues (such as thrush or bacterial vaginosis)
✔️ Introducing anti-inflammatory foods while avoiding common bladder irritants

My approach is different to most of the advice out there, both online & offline. Why? 
Because I’ve lived this experience, and I understand first-hand how it feels to be in your shoes. 

This programme is not another restrictive bladder or IC diet meal plan. 
​
Rather than cutting out a long list of foods, I will encourage you to reintroduce foods to your diet. Foods that you love and that love you back. 

No more fighting foods 🙌

What you can expect:

Booking my 90-day 1:1 programme will give you access to: 
​​
  • 3 x live 1:1 video calls with me, delivered once per month via Zoom. Together we’ll work through your pain points, specific symptoms and uncover personalised solutions that work on your terms. 
  • 1 x check-in phone call - two weeks into the programme to see how you are getting on and answer any questions you may have. 
  • Me in your back pocket, whenever you need me throughout the programme - a safe space for you to ask questions, keep you on track and provide additional support as and when you need it. I'm right there beside you, just a voice-note, message or email away. You're not doing this alone.   
  • OPTIONAL: Vaginal microbiome testing and/or comprehensive stool testing - Recommendations on testing will be based on our discovery call and/or what comes up in our first session. 
  • BONUS: A recipe resource bundle packed with ideas and inspiration for meals throughout the programme. ​​
I NEED THIS! BOOK NOW!

When tailored, targeted support starts to pay off... ​​


​*Spoiler: it feels pretty fantastic!*
​Before today, you may have been burned with programmes, plans or pills that promise a “magic fix”. 

I’m not about that. 

Healing your bladder can take time, and you won’t see results overnight. 

However, working with a qualified nutritional therapist can guide you in the right direction, give you a tailored action plan and provide vital support as you navigate the process. 

As you move through the programme, you’ll notice numerous shifts in how you approach food, and you will start to feel excited about a future where you: 
​
​
  • Book a holiday without worrying about the long journeys, where the nearest loo is, or rely on a suitcase packed with “safe foods”.
  • Enjoy eating out and socialising again without burning pain, bladder spasms, and constant sensation to pee. 
  • Become less reactive and sensitive to food and feel confident knowing food is not the enemy. 
  • Enjoy life and feel like yourself again.

FAQs

Can you guarantee results?
I cannot guarantee results, as your success lies in your hands and within your actions. This programme is 50% me, 50% you - but I guarantee that I will be guiding you every step of the way!​ Everyone's body is unique and while I can give you all the tools and knowledge you need to support a healthy bladder everyone's journey varies. 
How will the programme be delivered? ​
Monthly 1:1 calls will be delivered via Zoom. You will receive an email with a Zoom link before your session. After your initial consultation, we will also arrange a 30-minute check-in call to chat about your progress and answer any questions you may have. I also offer ongoing chat support throughout the programme, so you feel supported at each stage of the process.  
Do you offer payment plans?
I do! You have the choice to pay in full for a one-off payment of £750 at the beginning of the programme, or you can opt for a monthly payment plan of 3 x payments of £262. 
Will I need to follow a strict meal plan throughout the programme?
It depends on the severity of your symptoms and what we’re dealing with. I tailor all advice to your specific needs. I’m not a huge fan of extreme food elimination diets because food intolerance is not the root problem – it’s merely a symptom of unhappy gut/bladder dysfunction. I believe that when we sort out the underlying  issues and support a healthy bladder and gut, food intolerances usually go away. 
​WILL THERE BE ADDITIONAL CHARGES?
I will let you know if I think additional testing would be helpful in your particular case so you have all the information available to you. For instance, the option to add stool testing,  vaginal microbiome testing or blood tests but there is zero obligation to make any further commitments. I will recommend supplements to support your bladder journey and these are charged separately. All my 90-day clients get a 10% lifetime discount on supplements.
​ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO SUPPORT ME IN THIS?
I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist (mBANT, CNHC) with over eight years experience. My experience extends to consultancy work for BBC Scotland TV and Radio, the cancer charity Rainbow Valley, Nuffield Health and Revive Yoga Breaks. I'm a published co-author in this academic paper evaluating weight loss programmes. My main areas of expertise are gut health and bladder pain as a result of dealing with my own painful bladder condition. You can read more about my journey here. Now I love to help others break the cycle of chronic bladder pain and find the freedom to love life again.​​

 
Want to find out more before you commit?
Let’s chat. I understand that this is a significant investment and commitment in your health and you may want extra reassurance to make sure I’m the right nutritionist to help you, so let’s have a chat!
