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.

…is the stage in alchemy in which a solid substance turns into liquid.
At a psyche/soul level, it is the process of letting those parts of ourselves that have served their purpose and now cause more harm than good be released, “melt”, dissolve into their original substance -the ‘prima materia’.
