My journey into brain health began with an early interest in different schools of psychology,. This foundation sparked a lasting curiosity about how the mind works, alongside an interest in philosophical traditions from the East, such as Daoism, Buddhism and Yoga with their emphasis on training both the body and the mind.

My decision to study Positive Psychology and Coaching at University of East London was driven by a growing sense that there was more to psychology than understanding dysfunction alone. While traditional psychology offers valuable insight into distress and disorder, I became increasingly interested in what helps people function well — how meaning, strengths, resilience, motivation, and well-being are cultivated, not just restored.

Over time, this interest expanded to include physical health and nutrition. The more I explored these areas, the clearer it became how deeply interconnected they are. Modern research now strongly supports what both ancient traditions and contemporary science suggest: mental and physical health are inseparable, and meaningful change rarely happens when they are treated in isolation. This perspective underpins everything I do at LoveYourBrain.

More recently, my work has focused on the emerging science of metabolic health and its relevance to mental and cognitive functioning. Training in ketogenic therapy for mental health with Dr. Georgia Ede provided a framework for integrating metabolic and nutritional strategies into brain health coaching, where appropriate and always in a personalised, evidence-informed way.

I have also become interested in how breathing and breath-based practices can integrate with cognitive and somatic approaches to support change — particularly in anxiety. Breathing offers a direct and practical way to influence nervous system state, attention, and physiological arousal, making it a valuable complement to both psychological and body-based work. When used appropriately, breathwork can support stress regulation, emotional resilience, sleep, focus, and recovery, helping changes to be felt and stabilised at a physiological level rather than remaining purely intellectual.
