WyldRoots is the home for all branches of my work, UTherapy, WyldWell, Histopia, and the WyldRoots store. Each strand has its own focus, from clinical wellbeing to heritage consultancy to ritual practice, but they’re all connected by the same approach: thoughtful, grounded, and creative. Whether through products, projects, or partnerships, WyldRoots brings these ideas together under one name.
It’s also the name of the online store, where you’ll find a curated selection of resources, tools, and handmade goods from across all three branches, each one designed to support meaningful work, reflection, or personal growth in its own way.

CareSocial is my ongoing advocacy project following the preventable death of my mother while under council-commissioned home care. It focuses on system-level accountability, using structured evidence and lived experience to highlight failures in safeguarding, complaints processes, and regulatory oversight. Through a public-facing case archive, policy analysis, and sustained challenge, the project aims to expose procedural neglect and contribute to meaningful reform.

WyldWell is a wellness space that blends scientific insight with symbolic tradition. Grounded in psychology, physiology, and reflective practice, it presents practical tools for mind, body, and spirit, wrapped in the rhythms of lunar cycles, elemental themes, and esoteric symbolism. Designed for those drawn to history, mystery, and meaning, it offers structure and depth without losing the sense of magic.
