I love fermenting things! I’ve been through phases of kombucha, kimchi, yoghurt, hot sauce, sourdough and cheese, and right now I’m obsessed with kefir (the grains were kindly gifted by a client). If you’d like some, just ask – I’m always happy to share.

I really enjoy going to the movies by myself in the morning. I get my coffee with a little snack and start my day with a story that I get to watch with other people; it happens to make me feel so happy and productive!

Cooking is my love language! It’s my favorite way to show love and care, and nothing makes me happier than bringing people together over good food. I also have a little party trick, if you will: take me to a restaurant, and chances are I’ll be able to recreate any dish at home without ever looking at a recipe!

Behind the scenes
I look after the practical side of the clinic: recording sessions, invoices and expenses, keeping client records safe and in order, and looking after the website and blog. If you have a question about an invoice or paperwork, I’m happy to help.
Away from the desk
I love a good story, whether it’s in a book or on screen! I picked up Chinese and Korean through late-night dramas and a lot of BTS. Each language opens the door to a new culture, and I’m curious which one I’ll explore next.
