As an AuDHD’er myself with over a decade of experience in healthcare and pharmaceutical medicine, I bring both professional insight and personal understanding to my work within the community. My early career in clinical environments shaped my systems thinking and practical understanding. Over time, I recognised the limitations of such systems and institutions. This recognition led me on a different pathway, to source more compassionate, person centred, and holistic ways of supporting others.
In 2024 I registered Neurotopia as a Community Interest Company and I have had to build slowly due to living with chronic illness. Currently my time working and researching is unpaid, and I am hoping to build some revenue to be able to do more to support systemic change. I believe in promoting understanding through education led by experience, and adopting inclusion and real-world support as standard.
I am currently studying for a BSc (Hons) in Psychology with the Open University, and I hold a Certificate of Higher Education in Psychology. Alongside my academic path, I have completed a Level 3 Award in Education and Training, an accredited Certificate in Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), and I am ASIST-trained in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills. I am also studying genetics, epigenetics, systems thinking, holistic health, herbology and homeopathy online at Levels 3 and 4.
I just want to be clear, my life experiences and special interest research has taught me far more than any course ever could.
I am hyperlexic and live in a library! my special interests are psychology (particularly neuropsychology), functional and integrative health, naturopathic medicine, genetics and epigenetics. I am writing a book that brings all of these disciplines together – and hope to release that before 2026, but given the scope of it, that may be ambitious!
