Insight alone doesn't change your life. What matters is what happens in the moments that follow. Our mission is to provide the tools that bridge the gap between knowing better and doing better in the moments that matter most.
Understanding yourself is powerful. But insight alone rarely changes your life. Real change happens when awareness becomes something you can practice in everyday moments. That’s why our approach brings together three essential lenses: how your brain works, how your mind interprets the world, and how your body signals what’s happening beneath the surface.
Understanding the hardware. We teach you how to rewire the survival loops that trigger your "fight or flight" response.
Understanding the software. We examine the mental scripts and beliefs that dictate how you interpret your world.
Understanding the signal. We help you listen to your body’s data and regulate your state before you reach a breaking point.
Agency is the space between what happens to you and how you respond. It's the moment where you notice a trigger but choose what to do next. Instead of being pulled into an automatic reaction, you stay present long enough to respond with intention.
Choosing to stay curious during a conflict instead of shutting down or getting defensive.
Moving forward with a task while your nervous system is signaling "imposter syndrome" or fear.
Interrupting a spiral of shame and redirecting your focus before it dictates your entire day.
Conscious Cues didn’t start as a business. It started as a question I couldn’t stop asking.
Since I was a kid, I watched my father struggle with depression.
He was smart, generous, and sensitive. And like so many people, he was never taught how to navigate the intensity of being human. Watching him struggle left questions in me that never went away.
I spent years searching for answers. I studied psychology, meditation, philosophy, neuroscience, yoga. I learned a lot. I understood myself and my own patterns better than ever. But insight alone didn’t stop the chaos. Even when I knew better, I still fell into the same old patterns. My life could feel chaotic and overwhelming, even with knowledge.
In 2022, my father took his own life.
That loss made it impossible to ignore: understanding yourself is not the same as being able to navigate yourself. Happiness, fulfillment, connection. They are not functions of insight alone. They are functions of skill.
Most people never learn those skills. Others spend years understanding themselves but still struggle to apply what they know when it matters most.
Conscious Cues exists because of that gap: the space between awareness and action, between knowing what’s happening inside you and having the capacity to respond differently in the moments that matter.
Our work focuses on building that capacity through neuroscience, psychology, and somatic awareness. So insight doesn’t stay in your head. It becomes something you live.
This work is not theoretical. It is deeply personal.

Founder, Conscious Cues
I am an Intern Somatic Body Psychotherapist, Neuroscientist, Dancer, and Dance Teacher. My passion for mental health began at age 14, sparked by a natural ability to attune to people’s emotional landscapes.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve travelled the world exploring the human psyche — a journey that shaped my integrated approach, rooted in neuroscience (brain), psychology (mind), philosophy (spirit), and somatic practices like dance (body).
This embedded with my empirical experience has made it a personal and interpersonal discovery – in line with my essence and natural tendency to help those around me deal with various aspects of mental well-being.
It is this multidimensional understanding of what it means to be human that is at the heart of my work.
My work as a somatic body psychotherapist draws on the concept that life is a continuous unfolding process, from the first cell in the womb to the present moment. All aspects of our being need to be considered when navigating mental health issues.
I support each client’s unique process with openness and curiosity of all these aspects, helping transform scattered energy into a coherent source of well-being and vitality, reshaping life in ways that often exceed expectations.
Through my Neuroscience of Dance project and Dance Integrated Healing Method, I offer neurocognitive and movement-based tools for healing.
For the past six years, I’ve supported dancers and educators worldwide through sessions and workshops, focusing on injury recovery, neurological rehabilitation, memory and balance, mental health, and the therapeutic potential of dance. This integration of dance, neuroscience, and psychology began during my postgraduate research on the brain mechanisms behind dance, in collaboration with a leading researcher in the field.
My research has been published in Dance Data, Cognition, and Multimodal Communication and presented at the International Association for Dance Medicine & Science (IADMS) conference. I was honoured when this project was nominated for the IADMS Dance Educator Award (2022) and the Applied Dance Science Award (2021) from One Dance UK, which also recognised me as a Healthier Dancer Practitioner.
Personally, advocate for neurodiversity as a proud dyslexic. I love cats, cute cafes, cats, long walks, writing, cats, poetry.
Did I say cats?
