Viola Sampson was one of the first practitioners in the UK to offer Microbiome Analysis; giving treatment recommendations tailored to her clients’ unique gut bacterial profile. She draws on her early career in biomedical sciences as a published research scientist and more than 15 years as a natural healthcare practitioner.
Before setting up her Microbiome Analysis practice in 2018, Viola had been teaching progressive healthcare practitioners about the exciting advances in microbiome science, as well as running hands-on fermenting classes for a number of years. She added to her earlier qualifications with specialist nutritional training and a certification in Health & Wellness Coaching (graduating with Distinction) and an advanced certification in Microbiome Analysis with the Microbiome Restoration Center.
With a growing waiting list, she trained up a team practitioners in her approach and founded The Microbiome Group practice to offer Microbiome Analysis to people all around the world. The team has a special focus on supporting people with chronic illness, such as IBS, inflammatory conditions, Long Covid and other fatigue conditions. They are committed to evidence-based practice, ensuring all treatment recommendations are informed by the latest research and well-designed clinical trials. Experienced practitioners examine how certain foods can support positive microbiome changes, and prescribe specific probiotics and targeted prebiotics as required. All treatment plans are tailored to your unique profile of gut bacteria.
The Microbiome Group approach empowers you to make informed choices about your health, supported by advanced microbiome stool tests providing information about all the bacteria in your gut – not just a handful of species like other tests. The Microbiome Analysts analyse your results in detail and integrate this with your case history, lifestyle and dietary choices, ensuring our treatment recommendations are both progressive and holistic.
