Welcome, I am glad you found your way here.
Where It Began
“For years, I felt unseen inside my own body... dismissed, burned out, and disconnected from my rhythm. Until I learned to listen.”
For most of my life, my body felt like a puzzle I couldn’t solve. Mystery symptoms appeared, burned-out cycles repeated, and no matter what I did, I was dismissed.
Doctors told me to move more, eat less, and “take better care of myself,” as if my efforts were ever the problem. But I was doing everything I could just to survive.
“I stopped asking, ‘What’s wrong with me?’ and started asking, ‘What is my body trying to say?’”
I lived with undiagnosed lipedema and lymphatic issues, cycles of emotional eating, insulin resistance, autoimmune flares, and relentless burnout.
Each time I thought I had it figured out, my body reminded me it was speaking a language I couldn’t yet understand.
Then came a turning point: a near-death experience, compounded by long COVID. Something inside me broke open. It was terrifying, disorienting, and yet… it was the moment I finally started to listen.
I began asking a different question: “What is my body trying to say?”
That simple shift changed everything. It moved me from punishment to partnership. From ignoring my symptoms to honouring them as messengers. From fear to curiosity. From chaos to rhythm.
This path led me to become The Bloodreader. Not by accident, but by necessity. Because I know what it feels like to be overlooked, dismissed, and disconnected from your own body. And I know the power of being finally seen, heard, and guided to your own inner wisdom.
If any part of this story sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
“Healing is not linear. It’s cyclical, layered, and often invisible at first.”
How I Work
I work at the intersection of science and myth, where functional blood chemistry meets the nervous system, where immunology meets the psyche, where the story your body is telling finally gets translated into language you can act on.
My practice is grounded in Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology (CPNI). It is a field I care about so deeply that I am currently pursuing it at the master's level.
This is a field that sits at the meeting point of psychology, neuroscience, immunology, endocrinology, epigenetics, evolutionary biology, and behavioural medicine.
In plain terms, I look at how your biography shapes your biology, and explore where the communication between your body systems has become disrupted or lost its way.
But my curiosity has always stretched beyond the clinical.
Psychology, spirituality, shamanism and transcultural healing traditions have been lifelong companions, each offering a different lens through which to understand the body, the soul, and the relationship between the two. Where ancient knowing meets modern medicine. This wisdom lives alongside my scientific training and genuinely informs how I see and hold the people I work with.
The work that matters most - I listen.
I reflect back. I ask the question that opens the door. I hold the space where things that have been circling finally land.
Many of the people I work with describe our sessions as the place where they finally heard themselves clearly, where something shifted, not because I gave them an answer, but because I helped them find their own.
This is verbal processing as medicine. A thinking partnership. A sounding board held by someone with over a decade of clinical insight, lived experience, and a deep understanding of what it means to carry complexity in a human body.
If you are ready to be truly heard and to understand what your body, mind, and history have been trying to tell you, this is where you begin.
I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and walking alongside you on whatever comes next. You are in the right place.
