A Unique Approach: Where Science Meets Soul

With a background in neuroscience and cognitive science, I integrate an array of proven interventions – from cognitive to experiential. Drawing on the latest insights from neuroscience and neurobiology, I utilize a diverse toolkit. This ranges from the simplicity of breathwork and journaling to the depths of somatic and psychological explorations.

Cutting-edge scientific understanding

Warm, authentic human connection

Powerful experiential techniques
