Within a year she reversed her condition, came off medication and “came home” to her body. Now, as founder of BODY|MIND IQ and a PhD candidate in Lifestyle Medicine, she helps women heal what protocols and willpower never could – by working nervous system–first and teaching them to trust their body’s intelligence, not just manage symptoms.

The Journey

Periods ▸ body image ▸ fertility and perinatal mental health ▸ parenting and caring ▸ work and money stress ▸ trauma and violence ▸ menopause and “who am I now?” How women carry these layers into work, relationships and community life.

02 02

AI in women’s everyday journeys:

Period, pregnancy and menopause apps; digital therapy and crisis tools; workplace systems and algorithmic decision-making. Where AI is already present in women’s lives, and whether it is helping, ignoring or harming them.

03 03

Inequalities in a global city:

What AI and changing work patterns mean for Black and minoritised women, migrants, carers and low-income families in London. Social determinants: housing, income, caring load, racism, migration status, occupational health.
