✨THE HOLISTIC GUIDE TO YOUR HEALTH & WELLBEING TODAY REACHES NO.1 ON KOBO!✨

I am thrilled to announce that my second book, The Holistic Guide To Your Health & Wellbeing Today, has reached the Number 1 spot in the Health & Wellbeing category on Kobo! It’s also ranked Number 9 in Health & Wellbeing & Psychology, and Number 14 in Religion, Spirituality, Philosophy, and Mind & Body.

This achievement is a true honour and a personal milestone for me. After my first book, I promised to only write another if it could genuinely help others, and I’m so pleased to see it resonating with readers. I am currently working on my third book, which is in discussions with publishers. This new work will delve into the topic of Addiction, exploring various aspects including overworking, social media use, disordered eating, prescription medications, drugs, alcohol, and more. It’s a complex issue, particularly for today’s generation, and I am eager to share insights that may support those facing these challenges.

Thank you so much for your continued support—especially during World Mental Health Week. Your encouragement means the world to me.

P.S. The Holistic Guide To Your Health & Wellbeing Today is also on sale on Amazon at a fantastic rate! Many readers have shared they are purchasing additional copies for friends and family.

“A fabulous read. The book offers some wonderful insights on various aspects of health that are sometimes either taken for granted or simply forgotten. Very interesting section relating to numerology (which i had little idea about) and is hugely interesting. A beautifully written informative book and have already recommended to many people. 5 stars!”

“I generally do not read books however I am extremely pleased I saw this as its great. This book has something for everyone. It will certainly help you. It changed a lot for me.”
