I'm thrilled to share that my book, The Door Behind My Belly Button, is well under way.
It's been a labour of love—drawn from decades of listening, healing, and walking alongside others—and I'm so excited to finally begin bringing it into the world.
Below is an early overview of the book. I'd love for you to have a read, and if you have any questions, thoughts, or reflections, feel free to send me an email—I’m happy to answer and share on this page more as the journey continues.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
Overview
In today’s world, it feels like everyone’s searching for something—some way to make sense of the chaos. Suffering is ubiquitous. Illness. Conflict. Dissatisfaction. Burnout. These are the things that leave us desperate for answers, wondering: Is this how life is supposed to be? How do I fix this mess?
Every day, patients walk into my clinic, tangled in overwhelm. Their lives feel upside down, and nothing makes sense anymore. They’re stressed, disconnected, stuck in patterns they can’t explain. They’ve tried everything—only to find themselves circling back to the same pain. They’re desperate for answers. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I move forward? Why do I feel so lost?
This book is for them—and for you.
It’s a map. A guide.
A reminder that the answers are already within you.
I hear it again and again. The same frustration, the same ache. If only I had a life manual—something to tell me how to stay on my path, how to navigate the mess of it all.
And here’s what I say: You do have a manual. It hides behind the door behind your belly button.
This book isn’t for people chasing a quick fix. It’s for those willing to dive deep—into their own stories, their own discomfort, their own wisdom. It’s for anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves. For those who feel like they’ve tried everything but still can’t find the key to unlock their next step.
I’m a healer. A homeopath. A midwife. A PhD. With decades of experience, I’ve spent my life listening to people’s stories—their deepest fears, their quietest longings, their most private heartbreaks, their biggest challenges. Over time, I’ve come to understand there’s a code hidden in these stories. A rhythm. A pattern. When we learn to listen—really listen—to what our lives are trying to show us, we begin to heal.
But the truth is, I can only reach so many people through one-on-one consultations. And there are too many lives in need of healing. Too many people who want to understand why they’re stuck—and how to come home to themselves.
This book is my way of placing that listening into your hands.
Why Now
The world is in turmoil. Chronic illness rates are skyrocketing. People are stressed, burned out, exhausted, and afraid. We have never been more disconnected—from our bodies, from each other, from ourselves.
And yet… something is shifting. People are ready for a different kind of healing. One that acknowledges complexity. One that honours their uniqueness. One that starts with listening.
This book isn't another generic formula—it's a lens for seeing what your body already knows, what your illness is revealing, and how your challenges illuminate your unique path forward.
This isn’t a book about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you are underneath the noise.
People are hungry for something real—healing that’s not just inspiring, but doable. Something they can feel in their bodies, live out in their relationships, their work, their struggles. Something they can carry with them long after the last page.
This book is a catalyst for that kind of healing.
A beacon for those who feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
Not just a promise of hope—but a practical roadmap through life’s most challenging terrain, guiding readers back to the wisdom that’s been within them all along, through the door behind their belly button.
