I'm Imo. Common Wisdom is what I distilled from my own healing journey.
This is me at 12. I was just about to go blind in my right eye.
Cue my turbulent 15+ year healing journey.
But I was already feeling deeply off. Deeply disconnected from myself, those I loved and the world around me.
And it hurt me so much. All I wanted to do was play, be present and love my life.
It got so much worse before it got better.
This is me at 25. Eight chronic illnesses and a disability deep.
I had just started studying my two-year Ayurveda course. The past decade of my life had felt like an uphill battle – when I wasn’t dissociating from my body and backpacking the world, slowly draining the tiny amounts of energy I had.
In this picture, I felt like I was starting to crack the puzzle that was my health.
I was pushing hard to heal. Gaslighting myself into getting better. And it worked – until it didn’t.
This is me today. 30, worthy and thriving.
Slowly and tenderly, I learned to come back to myself. Back to nature. Back to the rhythm of my own nervous system. Into the subconscious layers, and the emotions I'd spent a lifetime outrunning.
And somewhere in that unravelling, I (mostly) let go of the version of me who always had to push harder, be better, do more.
What I found on the other side was something I didn't know was possible.
Yeah, getting rid of dozens of chronic symptoms and my disability has been epic.
But the wholeness I feel now? The freedom? That’s the sweetest relief.
And this is why I do what I do.
My work blends Ayurveda and cyclical living, somatic nervous system care, and subconscious/psyche work. Ancient frameworks through a modern understanding to meet you exactly where you are.
Because I know what it's like to be failed by the system. To lose years to confusion, complexity and chronic everything.
And… to find your way back anyway. Through our common wisdom. The wisdom that’s in you, too.
