Research
The research focuses on health psychology and organisational psychology, with an emphasis on stress, resilience, and mental health in high-demand professions. Key areas include secondary traumatisation, workplace stress, and organisational support.
The work also explores occupational health interventions, psychological resilience strategies, and the role of yoga and mindfulness in mental well-being. With a background in HR and internal communication, the research integrates academic insights with practical applications to enhance both individual well-being and organisational efficiency.
The research interest also lies in neuroscience and yoga, particularly in how yoga-based practices influence brain function, cognitive resilience, and emotional regulation. A key focus is exploring their potential role in neuroplasticity, executive function, and stroke rehabilitation, integrating yoga therapy with neuroscience to enhance mental and physical well-being.
