One year after creating The Dopamine Café, I reflect on how small, intentional dopamine boosts; movement, sunlight, music and sensory awareness…have become part of my everyday well-being.

Meet Reginald Blue, my 1980s Silver Reed typewriter and dapper creative companion.

In January 2026, I chose to show up differently; emerging from autistic burnout and stepping back into my voice as The Well-Being Alchemist. This is not a rebrand. It’s a return to practicing well-being out loud.
