Are you suffering from the effects of:

Chronic Gut Pain

Whether or not you've been officially diagnosed with a gut disorder, you're probably all too familiar with how chronic pain can disrupt your quality of life. Flare-ups never come at the 'right' time. Chronic pain can trigger anxiety, depression, or referred pain in other areas of our bodies, such as migraines and back pain. Your friends and family may not understand your condition or even think it's real! It's surprising that gut pain is one of the most common human conditions — affecting roughly 1 in 4 people — yet it has historically had some of the most limited treatment options.

​

There is a way out of your pain. I'm here to share it with you.
Are you ready to bloom?

Erik Burns, CMT, CHP, Director of Bloom Gut Therapy

Hi, I’m Erik.

I believe in your potential to live a pain-free, vibrant life. Why do I believe in you?


Pain relief is not just my profession — it's also my personal journey. I've lived with gut disorders for most of my life, including food allergies to wheat and milk, intermittent pain, and ulcers. I sought help from Western doctors but never received much relief. Modifying my diet provided some improvement, but it never fully addressed the underying issues. Finally, I discovered therapy, and most specifically, hypnotherapy, and my life really started to change.


I studied neurophysiology at Stanford University, where I deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection. I also trained in deep tissue and polarity massage, which showed me how treating the mind and body together can maximize the effects of each approach. This holistic understanding led me to develop my primary modality, hypnosomatics, a comprehensive body care treatment that combines elements of massage and hypnotherapy to supercharge recovery.


A lot of research has been done into the underlying causes of chronic gut pain. Conditions like IBS, SIBO, and GERD have been studied extensively. Gut-directed hypnotherapy (GDH) is widely considered the most medically effective form of treatment for these types of conditions, with treatment success rates often exceeding 70-80%. This discovery was transformative for me, and it can be for you too.


Today, I am mostly pain-free and thriving, and I want to share the tools and techniques that helped me with you. My approach to well-being goes beyond just reducing pain; it's about empowering you to transform from within and, ultimately, to thrive.
