Where science meets the senses

My writing lives where the evidence informed and the embodied meet. It draws from over a decade of practice across clinical aromatherapy, reflexology, and Ayurveda, from teaching certification courses, and from the ongoing study of what actually helps the body return to itself under the pressures of modern life.


What you will find here are long-form works written for practitioners, students, and thoughtful readers. Resources designed to hold up under clinical scrutiny and still feel like they were written for a human.

UNDERSTANDING STRESS: A Guide to the Body, the Nervous System, and the Holistic Practitioner's Role

 My first publication. A 20+ page evidence-informed guide to the physiology of the stress response, from Hans Selye's foundational work to modern research on the HPA axis, polyvagal theory, and allostatic load. Written for students and practitioners of clinical aromatherapy and reflexology, and for any reader curious about what their body has been telling them.
