Can you share how your journey from being a family doctor to becoming a self-healing mentor shaped your Life and Soul Medicine methodology?
Becoming a self-healing mentor was a deeply personal journey of transformation for me. As a family doctor, I saw so many women who seemed to have it all—on the surface, successful and composed, yet silently battling anxiety and emotional pain that manifested as physical symptoms. Despite treating their physical issues, I noticed these women returning, still exhausted and struggling, sometimes spiralling in anxiety and self-doubt.
It became clear to me that their emotional and in fact their spiritual health was at the root of much of their suffering.
This realisation coincided with my own experience of burnout and disillusionment with the limitations of conventional medicine. I knew there had to be a better way, so I left my busy London practice and embarked on a healing journey of my own.
I travelled across Asia and the United States, studying holistic practices and integrating these insights with my medical knowledge. This process inspired me to create Life and Soul Medicine, a methodology that blends science, spirituality, and emotional healing to achieve balance and well-being.
How do you help clients align their mind, heart, and soul to overcome anxiety and rediscover their sense of worthiness?
In my work, I guide women to reconnect with the Higher Self by aligning body, mind, heart, and Soul to zoom out of the narrow perspective of the anxious mind.
This begins with practical techniques like journaling, and specific breath and movement exercises. Through small, consistent steps—grounding, time management to reduce chaos, and practicing self-kindness—my clients begin to shift their perspectives. Over time, these practices bring clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
It’s a joy to see women rediscover their worthiness and find inner peace.
Moving onto deeper energetic practises that facilitate connection with the vast portal of the heart, it is here that we start to discover and explore the Self at a whole new level. Recognising our sacred core, our presence and the ease we can feel when we tap into this level of our being, this creates space for deep healing and profound perspective on our human journey. Self worth grows and roots in this fertile ground.

What role does spirituality play in the process of self-healing and achieving optimal health in your practice?
Spirituality is a cornerstone of my approach to healing. For some, this might mean traditional religious practices, while for others, it could mean feeling part of nature or community. Spirituality, as I see it, is about feeling like you’re a valued part of something larger than yourself. It provides support and connection and helps to regulate emotions.
I encourage my clients to explore spiritual practices that resonate with them—whether it’s meditation, journalling, prayer or yoga. These practices help release feel-good hormones, balance emotions, and create a sense of purpose and trust in oneself. What’s beautiful is that these practices complement any existing beliefs or traditions, enhancing one’s healing journey rather than conflicting with it.
How do you guide women to break free from cycles of people-pleasing and self-doubt to embrace self-love and empowerment?
So many women I work with struggle with deeply ingrained habits of people-pleasing and perfectionism. I help them uncover the origins of these behaviours, which are often rooted in childhood experiences. These patterns may have served them in the past, but as adults, they often lead to anxiety and burnout.
Take Anabel, for example—she came to me overwhelmed, feeling unappreciated and exhausted from always doing more than was asked of her, both at work and at home. Together, we worked to identify her true needs and set clear boundaries. I helped her understand that her value doesn’t come from external validation but from within. By focusing her energy on what truly matters to her and learning to delegate, she began to reclaim her sense of self. Watching women like Anabel break free from these patterns and embrace their worth is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
Can you explain the connection between energy medicine and lifestyle changes in creating lasting transformation for your clients?
I believe in the powerful connection between energy medicine and lifestyle changes. Our energy body—the unseen but vital part of our being—affects every aspect of our health. Practices like Soul Focused Healing, yoga and breathwork are incredible tools to align the energy body and restore balance. When combined with lifestyle changes—like improving sleep quality, eating nourishing foods, and moving regularly—they create a holistic foundation for healing.
For instance, grounding exercises to balance the root chakra can help my clients feel secure and stable, while dietary adjustments to regulate blood sugar can significantly improve mood and energy levels. By addressing both the energetic and physical aspects of health, we create lasting transformation. My approach isn’t about quick fixes but about empowering my clients to take charge of their healing, step by step, and watch as their lives transform in profound and beautiful ways.
This is my life’s work: to help women heal from the inside out, not just surviving but thriving. Seeing my clients find their spark again and radiate joy and confidence is the greatest gift of all.
