Deborah Prosser ~ Rest and Digest Wellness - Gut/Brain Healing/ Somatic Transformational Guide

Metabolizing life- Body, Mind & Spirit

A Guide to Your Embodied Wholeness

I am Deborah Prosser, a Somatic Guide and Integration Specialist. I help people who feel stuck in their minds and disconnected from their bodies to safely process their past and embody their future.

My work is built on a non-negotiable truth: you cannot separate the health of your psyche from the health of your body. The same nervous system that holds your anxiety also governs your digestion. The same protective parts that helped you survive childhood can leave you feeling trapped in adulthood.

For over twenty years—from my work in gut health with Sprout It to my practice in psychedelic integration—this mind-gut connection has been my guiding principle. I don’t just help you have insights; I provide the somatic tools and compassionate framework to help you metabolize them, turning profound experiences into a tangible, resilient life.

My approach is a unique blend of:

Somatic Practices to regulate your nervous system and return you to your body.
Parts Work (IFS) to compassionately understand and befriend your inner protectors.
Gut-Brain Nutrition to build a stable physical foundation for healing.
Psychedelic Integration to hold space for the deepest journeys of the soul.

This isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering the wholeness that was always there and building a life where every part of you belongs.

Why choose Rest & Digest for your Health Journey?

Why Choose Rest & Digest Wellness for Your Healing Journey?

Because true transformation requires more than protocols—it demands a guide who sees all of you.

A Bridge Between Worlds

Gut + Psyche Expertise: Where microbiome science meets soul work—no other practitioner offers this dual lens.
From Soil to Spirit: My 20+ years span fermentation, colon hydrotherapy, and psychedelic integration—a rare trifecta.

Trauma-Informed Nourishment

Your food protocols will:

Address physical symptoms andtheir emotional roots (e.g., bloating → unprocessed grief)
Avoid harsh cleanses that retraumatize the body

Your plant journeys will:

Be prepared for with gut-nervous system care
Integrated through somatic andmicrobial support

No Dogma, Only Discovery

Not “Ferment or Fail”: We’ll find your version of ancestral wisdom (even if that means starting with store-bought kraut).
Not “Heroic Doses”: Psychedelic work is paced to your nervous system’s readiness.

The “Deborah Difference”

You’re Seen: I’ve walked my own healing odyssey—from chronic illness to wholeness.
You’re Safe: My space is judgment-free (your “failures” are just data).
You’re Sovereign: I remind you you’re the expert on your body.

Proven Pathways

For Gut Rebels: Clients like Ben (anxiety → earthing + kraut)
For Expansion Seekers: Clients who’ve healed generational trauma through microbiome and medicine work
For the Overwhelmed: Those who’ve tried “everything” until we connected the physical-emotional dots

THE RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT

✔ Fewer “Mystery” Symptoms (when gut, mind, and spirit align)
✔ Deeper Self-Trust (not dependency on me or any modality)
✔ Practical Magic (ferments that heal, rituals that ground, insights that liberate)

“I don’t offer quick fixes—I offer remembering. Your body already knows how to heal; we just clear the blocks.”

Who This Is For/Not For

“For you if: You’re done with symptom-chasing and ready to explore root causes.”
“Not for you if: You want a rigid 30-day protocol without self-inquiry.

Exceptional levels of care

Healing isn’t transactional—it’s relational. True wellness asks:
``Are you being heard—or just treated?``
``Do you feel supported—or just managed?``
``Are your questions answered in a language that resonates—or dismissed as symptoms?``
``Do you feel safe enough to unfold—or rushed toward someone else’s idea of ‘fixed’?``
At Rest & Digest Wellness, these questions guide every session. Because healing happens when science and soul meet—and you feel witnessed in both.

Professional services

Health is not a destination—it’s a living conversation between you and your body.
The practices I offer are the foundation of a resilient health plan—the same tools that have sustained me through life’s twists and turns. True wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s about cultivating the awareness and adaptability to meet yourself where you are.
You’ll recalibrate countless times:
• As you age
• Face illness or stress
• Navigate emotional upheavals
• Rebalance after seasons of indulgence
Being ``healthy`` doesn’t mean you won’t get sick—it means you’ve learned to listen deeply, respond with wisdom, and know when to seek support. My role? To help you build that fluency—body, mind, and spirit.

My role as a intuitive plant assisted integration therapist

Where Sacred Tradition Meets Personalized Healing
The Power of One-on-One Ceremony
While group plant medicine work offers collective healing, private sessions create something equally profound:
• A sanctuary of absolute trust where your nervous system can fully surrender
• Laser-focused attention on your unique healing trajectory
• The freedom to process at your rhythm—no competing energies or timelines
In this held space, even your silence becomes part of the medicine.

Established network of health care professionals

Healing is a mosaic—each piece matters.
You are more than a physical body. You are:
• Emotional landscapes needing witness
• Mental patterns craving rewiring
• Spiritual depths longing to be explored
Your path back to wholeness is as unique as your fingerprint. There are no wrong turns—only experiences that shape your resilience. Every practitioner you meet becomes a stepping stone, not a final destination.
Over decades in wellness, I’ve cultivated trusted relationships across:
• Mainstream medicine (for when science leads the way)
• Alternative therapies (for when intuition speaks louder)
• Complementary care (for the harmonious in-between)
Need a referral? I connect clients with the right practitioners at the right time—because true healing thrives on collaboration.
