Beneath The Surface” combines her passion for mind body medicine and the written form of expression. The goal of  her book is to create emotional and spiritual awareness.

Based on Chinese Medicine philosophy  “Beneath The Surface” is written in poetic prose style as a stream of consciousness.

The five elements, which forms the basis of all ancient forms of medicine is a central theme in her book.

Blood imagery highlights the link between the non physical and physical realms. Mind and matter compete as emotions flow through the central character.
