My Story
Hello, and Welcome!
f you’ve landed here, you’re probably curious about who I am and how this all began.
I’ve spent over four decades exploring the world—growing up in Kuwait, training in India, and building my life and family in New Zealand. Across three countries and countless experiences, one thing has remained constant: my deep fascination with the human brain and body, and how we can harness it to live fuller, richer, more aligned lives.
As a medical doctor, I’ve seen the human body inside and out. But it was the countless stories, struggles, and patterns I observed in my patients and loved ones that led me to ask deeper questions—not just how we function, but why we feel stuck, disconnected, or “hardwired” for pain.
I’ve faced my fair share of adversity—but none of it was wasted. It all became fuel for this lifelong journey into understanding what truly makes us whole.
There are no quick fixes in life - But there IS a way through!
My curiosity never settled. After years in general medicine, I began to notice a crucial gap in healthcare: we often treat the body or the brain—and almost always skip the link between the two.
That sparked a journey that hasn’t stopped. From addiction counselling to child and adolescent developmental psychology, from trauma-informed neuroscience to nutritional psychiatry—I immersed myself in disciplines that could help explain not just dysfunction, but human potential.
And I tested it all. On myself. With friends and family. With people from every walk of life. Over 18+ years and across thousands of conversations, I began piecing together the patterns. What works. What heals. What actually helps us rewire.
I Know What Works (And What Doesn't).
I don’t believe in gimmicks, nor in one-size-fits-all solutions. I believe in neuroplasticity—the ability of our brains, bodies (and lives) to change. My work now focuses on building tools, resources, and frameworks to help people recode their emotional DNA and truly integrate brain and body, through MIND∞MATTER™.
My Biggest Motivator is Your Success
There’s nothing more fulfilling than witnessing people shift from feeling stuck to feeling seen, safe, and self-empowered.
Whether it’s breaking old patterns, understanding your emotional blueprint, or reclaiming your inner calm—transformation is possible.
That’s why I do what I do: offer you science-backed, soul-centered tools that help you create lasting change.
Not overnight. Not perfectly. But powerfully.
You already carry everything you need. I’m just here to help light the path.
