Why Practitioners Need a New Approach
Gut health clients are more complex today than they were even five years ago.
Testing has evolved. The microbiome has changed. Nervous-system involvement is higher. Clients are more reactive, more sensitive and often present with multiple overlapping issues.
Yet many practitioners are still relying on outdated frameworks that no longer create consistent or sustainable results.
Broad-spectrum antimicrobials are failing more often.
Restrictive diets are causing long-term microbiome damage.
Breath tests and stool tests are being misread or over-interpreted.
Clients are cycling through relapse patterns despite doing everything “right.”
It is time for a modern, integrated approach that reflects current science and real-world clinical outcomes.
The SIBO & Microbiome Practitioner Certification™
Your Complete Training in Modern Testing, Treatment and Microbiome Restoration
This 16-week certification teaches you a clear, repeatable framework for assessing and treating gut clients with accuracy and confidence.
It blends SIBO foundations, microbiome interpretation, dietary strategy, gentle targeted treatment and nervous-system-aware sequencing of care.
By the end, you will be able to:
- Confidently interpret SIBO breath tests, identify patterns and avoid common misdiagnoses
- Understand the functional meaning of microbiome results and set clear treatment priorities
- Design targeted, selective antimicrobial and nutraceutical strategies
- Create nervous-system-safe sequencing for sensitive clients
- Use dietary therapy intentionally, not restrictively
- Address long-term microbiome rebuilding and relapse prevention
- Support clients with IBS, IBD, coeliac, histamine issues, metabolic dysfunction and nervous system-driven gut symptoms
- Treat SIBO, SIFO, IMO and complex post-treatment cases with clarity
- Build sustainable, effective, evidence-informed treatment plans
- Feel confident working with real client cases, not just theory

Hi, I'm Karly Raven
I'm a naturopath and mentor with a passion for helping health professionals unlock the potential of their practice. I've dedicated my career to staying up-to-date with the latest research and evidence-based practices and with over a decade of experience working with clients suffering from digestive illnesses like IBS and SIBO, I understand the challenges of managing complex health issues. Through my mentoring, I'm excited to share my knowledge and expertise with like-minded practitioners who are committed to making a positive impact on their clients lives. Let's work together to transform your practice and create a thriving business that makes a real difference.
What our graduates are saying…
"Nourished Gut Practitioner Fundamentals is an absolute must for any practitioner who wants to sharpen their skills in treating complex gut conditions. Karly is a natural teacher who instills confidence in those she teaches." - Laura Taylor
"Before starting Nourished Gut Practitioner Fundamentals, I really struggled with identifying gastrointestinal symptoms in my patients and knowing which tests were needed to optimise their results. This course has streamlined my process and provided me with the tools I need in the clinic to access tests readily and optimise patient outcomes." - Sage King
"I have taken many different gut health and SIBO courses, but I still felt there were gaps in my knowledge. After completing Karly's course, many of these gaps have been filled. She takes the time to go through each module thoroughly and provides clarity around any remaining questions. I now feel more confident in treating my clients thanks to Karly!" - Jess Neu
"I took Karly's Nourished Gut Practitioner Fundamentals to solidify my knowledge of microbiome reports and to better understand SIBO and other gut conditions. The course was very methodical, comprehensive, organised, and easy to follow. It helped me gain the confidence I needed to assist my clients more effectively and ensure I am on the right track in interpreting and treating gut cases in my practice." - Lucia Rivas-Herry
