She continued her academic journey with an MSc in Sport & Exercise Sciences at Brunel University, focusing on the psycho-physical effects of music on the brain. This early work led to collaborations with GB Olympic squads, laying the foundation for her future expertise in peak performance psychology.

She earned a PhD in Human Behaviour from the University of Westminster, with research later applied to NHS dementia projects. She completed advanced studies at Harvard Medical School, Stanford University, Cambridge University, King’s College London, and Oxford University, demonstrating her commitment to lifelong learning.
