“The knots eased and I could finish my day.”
IBS Symptoms / Calmer Gut, Calmer Day
IBS often worsens when stress and worry ramp up the gut–brain loop. Hypnotherapy can help you settle the body, soften pain signals, and lower urgency anxiety. Sessions with Darrian Knotts, Certified Hypnotherapist, are in-person in Loves Park and focus on skills you can use at work, home, and before meals. You remain aware and in control; progress depends on what you practice between visits.

Ready for Fewer Flare Days
How Hypnotherapy Supports IBS
Downshift the gut–brain loop: breath and muscle release to reduce reactivity.
Pain modulation: imagery and paced attention that soften discomfort.
Urgency calm plan: cues for bathrooms, transit, and meetings.
Meal moments: a short pre-meal script to lower worry and bloat.
Stress buffer: portable resets for spikes that tend to trigger symptoms.
Hypnotherapy is complementary and educational. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. For IBS diagnosis and treatment, continue with your licensed GI clinician; session suggestions can align with their guidance.
