Writings
Here, you will find a collection of my writings over the years, on topics ranging from food and body freedom to embodiment, alchemy and the individuation journey.
I am currently sharing my longer, deeper writing on the Substack platform, through my publication, The Yellowing Therapist. I invite you to join me and a community of fellow seekers, there -you can simply read my posts or subscribe by email to receive them in your inbox as soon as they are published.

Reimagining Manifestation
I believe that the popular teachings on manifestation and the law of attraction can often be more of a detour than a path toward real psychospiritual growth.
The overly simplistic version of reality they present fails to meet the complexity and nuance of life, and of ourselves as humans in so many ways.
And -I don’t think that we are meant to dismiss them altogether as ‘magical thinking’ either.
Shedding the layers of the false self
In Jungian psychology, we call it persona. In my somatic therapy tradition of SomaSoul, we call it role. In Alchemical Spirituality, we speak about the masks we wear to hide our essence.
Different terms, with slightly different meanings, dancing around the same core theme; that of authenticity and what prevents us from truly embodying it.
Profound loss and identity release
2022 turned out to be a ‘tower year’ for me; a year of profound loss and cataclysmic change, very different than what I had envisioned, which stripped away so many of the layers (roles, identities, coping strategies…) that had been previously standing between myself and the world.
I’m still in the early days of an experience I will be processing for a very long time, but one thing has become very clear:
Profound loss breaks us. And it can often, also, break us open.
