About the Host
I am a pharmacist by training, with several years of clinical experience in community pharmacy, mostly in London. Working closely with patients deepened my understanding of the limits of symptom-focused care and led me to expand my perspective toward prevention, lifestyle, and nervous system regulation.
This professional evolution brought me to integrative health practices, including yoga, mindfulness, and Ayurvedic principles, which I later formalized through certification in Meditation & Mindfulness teaching and Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultation.
Today, I work as a wellness facilitator, designing structured and accessible sessions that combine clear physiological explanations with guided experiential practices. My work focuses on nervous system regulation, clarity, and sustainable focus in demanding environments.
I am currently completing my degree in Nutrition (expected July 2026), further strengthening my understanding of the relationship between food, energy, and cognitive performance.
My facilitation style is calm, structured, and grounded in both science and embodied awareness. I create safe spaces where professionals can temporarily step out of constant performance mode and reconnect with regulation, clarity, and presence.
