Bookshelf

A quiet archive of what has guided my journey.

Welcome to my quiet library of inspiration. 

Here you'll find the books, podcasts and research that have shaped my understanding of healing, self-love and the human mind — some science-based, others heart-based.

I hope something here can support your journey too. 

This space grows slowly, one read at a time. 📚
