Beyond archaeology, my passion extends to ancient and modern healing practices. I've delved into herbalism, Reiki, and hand reflexology. At our core, Archaeology for Well-being is a pledge to holistic wellness.
Academically, I refined my expertise at Durham University as a Post-doctoral researcher, pivotal in digitizing and migrating archives for the 40-year-long Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture project. I also hold a Ph.D. in Archaeology from Paris 1-Panthéon-Sorbonne, where I explored the symbolic placement of funerary spaces within the early Medieval landscapes of Northern England and Southern Scotland.
