The Anxious Belly

Digestive issues are rarely just about food.

Visceral Tension

A constant sense of tightness or "visceral tension" in the abdomen.

Reactivity

The stomach reacts to stress with immediate pain or bloating.

The Brain-Gut Loop

Anxiety causes stomach pain, and stomach pain causes anxiety.

It's Not Just What You Eat

You may have tried elimination diets with limited success because the issue is often “visceral hypersensitivity” your gut nerves are amplifying normal signals into pain signals. Diet changes don’t fix the nerves.
Think of it like this:
Gut nerves are like a smoke alarm that’s become too sensitive. They sound a pain alarm for normal digestion, even when there is no real danger.

The Brain-Gut Connection

The gut is connected directly to the brain via the Vagus Nerve.

Digestive Shutdown

If you are in "defense mode," your body diverts blood away from the gut, causing cramping and stagnation.

The Vagus Fix

We use micro-movements to turn the digestive system back "on" and turn the pain volume "off".

Calming the Core

By facilitating the release of tension in the core, we restore the "repair" state required for healthy digestion.

The BioCoding™ Approach

Calming the Core

BioCoding™ targets the overactivation that hits the gut. By facilitating the spontaneous release of tension in the core, we restore the state of “rest and digest” required for healthy gut movement. We turn the digestive system back “on” while turning the pain volume “off”.

James's Story

Ceased entirely

Panic attacks

Expanded

Emotional range

James lived with generalised anxiety marked by thrice-weekly panic attacks and constant visceral tension under chronic work pressure. Mapping showed amygdala-driven sympathetic loops and low vagal tone, keeping his system locked on high alert.

Through The Recode programme, BioCoding™ used gentle sighs and spirals across 12 sessions to recalibrate limbic thresholds, releasing the physical tension held in his body and restoring autonomic balance.

By completion, panic attacks ceased entirely and emotional range expanded.

“BioCoding™ retrained my brain’s panic button. I now speak publicly with ease, no longer braced for the next wave.”
These anonymised examples reflect aggregated client data from Hollyanna Vellichor’s practice. Individual results may vary. BioCoding™ is a complementary approach and should not replace medical advice.

The Programme

Through the The Recode programme, we use gentle micro-movements to foster “glial modulation” calming the immune cells in your nervous system that cause inflammation.

01

No Forcing

We always respect your gut’s limits and current state.

02

Micro-Movements

Precise, gentle gestures with no intense manipulation or dietary pressure.

03

Brain-Gut Modulation

Addressing heightened sensitivity and suppressed digestive drive to restore balanced signaling safely.

04

Gut Re-education

Responding to your daily needs to gradually rebuild predictable digestive function.

Your Questions Answered

Is IBS 'all in my head'?

No, it is in your nervous system. It is a physical “dysregulation within the central and autonomic nervous systems” that affects how the gut functions.

The Vagus Nerve is the primary switch for digestion. “Enhancing vagal tone” physically stimulates the stomach and intestines to process food correctly.

Yes. Bloating is often caused by a “freeze” response in the gut muscles. Releasing “dorsal vagal shutdown” allows the muscles to move normally again.

We recommend sticking to what feels safe, but many clients find that as their “visceral hypersensitivity” decreases, they can reintroduce foods they previously couldn’t tolerate.
