A life of lived experience with Tourette's, ADHD, OCD, ASD, anxiety, and depression, distilled into a practice that helps others build lasting peace.
I was diagnosed with Tourette's, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, and ODD as a child, and later discovered I'm on the autism spectrum as well. My first symptoms surfaced around age five: rage, verbal tics, and a weight of depression that no child should have to carry. By puberty, when symptoms commonly spike, things escalated to daily police visits, rage attacks that forced dissociation and memory loss, and over a decade of antidepressants and antipsychotics.
The turning point came quietly. I found meditation, not because I was seeking it, but because something in me recognized I could use it to find relief. It was intuitive. I began sitting for up to two hours each night, on a cushion in the corner of my bedroom. That small corner became my sanctuary, and over time, it helped me cultivate the inner sanctuary that saved my life.
Night after night, I fell into progressively deeper states, what I now understand as theta and waking delta brainwave activity, and what certain contemplative traditions describe as a form of samadhi. The deeper I went, the more I began to perceive the subconscious architecture beneath my symptoms. Depression revealed itself not as a single condition, but as a network of interconnected feedback loops throughout the body. The same was true for my tic attacks, my OCD, all of it. An inner world opened up, and years of careful exploration taught me how it all fit together and how to change the way my symptoms manifested.
This bodily understanding led naturally to the role of food in symptom regulation, and eventually to formal study. I earned my MAc in Chinese medicine, a clinical framework tested over thousands of years, which deepened and validated what I had spent my life discovering firsthand.
Through that education, I connected with remarkable doctors and specialists across the globe in gut-brain science, medical qigong, brain training, Zen Buddhism, and more. Each discipline added depth. Each relationship sharpened my understanding. And everything pointed back to the same question I'd been asking since childhood: what does it actually take to find peace in a neurodivergent mind?
I've spent my life building one thing: peace. My role now is to take everything those three decades have given me, the suffering, the discovery, the education, the professional connections, the years of trial and error, refine it, and hand you the fruit.
When you work with me, you're not starting from zero. You're receiving a method that was built across a lifetime and distilled into something that creates real, measurable change within a few sessions. The goal is always the same: to help you develop skill in personal peace through meaningful, lasting symptom regulation.
The conventional understanding treats these disorders as isolated to the brain. The truth is that the brain and body integrate as part of a grander whole, and real transformation requires working with that whole. This practice is built on three pillars, each one refined for what is most crucial and efficient in terms of symptom transformation.
Born from a lifetime of discovery the hard way, and deepened through study with real teachers and masters of ancient meditative traditions. Every practice is refined with one purpose: what actually moves the needle on symptoms, as directly and efficiently as possible.
Rooted primarily in old Shaolin medicine, today recognized as a genuine system of medical qigong. These body-based practices work with the deeper layers of how symptoms live in the body, not just the mind.
Personalized diet therapy and East Asian herbal medicine, grounded in both lived experience and thousands of years of clinical use. What you take in shapes how your body and mind regulate.
