  • regularly open to the public; and

Photos and information privacy

Photos make your listing more attractive and enable your business or event to be featured in our other marketing channels. When adding photos, please ensure:

  • they are free from text, logos or marketing messages;
  • they accurately represent your business or event;
  • you own the copyright or have permission from the copyright owner;
  • you have permission from any people that can be identified in the image;

Businesses

The Businesses that are featured in our directory pay a monthly/annunal membership fee.  As part of this fee, there are a number of features which are sponsored, including advertisements.  For more details, please view our subscription page.  

We aim to keep a balance between providing a promotion service to the independent businesses, and also ensuring that you get an honest representation of the businesses featured.

Support and Chat – facebook Group 

The Gut Healing Community Support & Chat Facebook Group is a safe space for people to share their journey, ask for advice and learn. That is why this space is strictly only for sharing educational content, not sales posts. In live educational sessions you can mention where people can find you, what you do and can also drop a mention of anything you have coming up like a program or event – but it’s just a mention. No big plugs or promo’s during live educational presentations. 

Sharing educational content gives you an opportunity to showcase you expertise, skills, knowledge and a little about yourself to build authority and connection.

There is to be no direct messaging to the members of the group unless they specifically request this.

You should not try to sell your products or services in here.

I will share links to your social accounts and website to let my audience know where to find you and follow you after or during each educational session/post etc. 

I will also tag you where I can see that your business/product/service could be of benefit to members of The Gut Healing Community.

If you have an MLM element to your business, The Gut Healing Community is not a platform for recruiting members to build your team. Businesses that have a MLM only focus will not be listed on our directory.
