Monika Holland

Monika specializes in severe digestive disorders, mental/nervous system imbalances and impaired autoimmunity. She has “walked the walk” having healed her own severe life-threatening Crohn’s Disease. Her personal experience gives her compassion, empathy and intuition when working with clients to restore their gut-brain connection, rebuild their gut lining, repopulate their microbiome, and help them return to a healthier self. Think of Monika as the "microbiome researcher" who is on a quest to help you on your healing journey.

GAPS originally stood for "Gut & Psychology Syndrome” – the title of Dr Natasha Campbell McBride’s original 2004 book (yellow cover) introducing her GAPS diet and protocols. The companion book "Gut & Physiology Syndrome” (blue cover) was published in 2020 with the title updated to reflect the greatly expanded range of conditions for which GAPS is helpful and healing.
