When I met Luna a few years ago she was experiencing great levels of anxiety.

My interest in Western psychology began as soon as I moved to Australia in my adolescence. For as long as I can remember I’ve been interested in the study of the minds relation with life.

My great-grandmother had a saying I still remember to this day:
