Exploring root healing with Dev.

From neuroscience labs at UCL, where I collaborated with Nobel laureate Prof. Paul Greengard, to the heart of Amazonian plant medicine traditions, my path has been one of seeking deep, root-level healing.

Driven by a deep curiosity about the brain, I began my career in neuroscience, determined to understand the intricate workings of the nervous system. But my personal journey soon mirrored the very struggles I aimed to unravel. After years in high-pressure corporate environments, I experienced severe burnout, chronic fatigue, and relentless stress, culminating in a sudden hospitalization for a brain injury. Though the physical damage was minimal, the experience shook me. It was a wake-up call that pushed me to confront the deeper patterns driving my life.

That turning point led me into the world of psychotherapy and counselling, which became both a personal lifeline and a new professional calling. In parallel, my scientific roots drew me toward ancestral healing traditions. In the Amazon, I witnessed the profound potential of psychedelics when held in sacred, intentional ways.

The Plants Talk synthesizes everything I’ve lived, embodied, and studied — a science-backed, soul-aware approach to deep, lasting change. It brings together the rigor of neuroscience, the insights of plant medicines, and the compassion and tools of counselling. My work is especially attuned to those navigating stress, depression, burnout, and the quiet echoes of trauma.

If you’re seeking a grounded path to transformation, I’m here to walk it with you — rooted in science, shaped by lived experience, and led with empathy.
