THE HUMANOPATHY STORY
Where It All Started
I was eight years old, standing in our garden, mixing herbs in small bottles. I didn’t know what I was doing, not really, but something inside me knew. Even then, I was meant to heal.
By the time I was sixteen, I had no doubts. Medicine. That was my path. That was who I was supposed to be.
But my family saw differently. We had a tradition in business, and they wanted me in the family business. Law and finance, they said. That’s what you’ll study. And I went.
The Day Everything Changed
Fourth year at university. My father went in for what should have been a simple cholecystectomy. Routine, they said. Nothing to worry about.
Then came the diagnosis: intestinal cancer.
The ground disappeared beneath me.
We spent months at Hammersmith Hospital. I watched the doctors run after the cancer. Treatment after treatment. Chasing it, fighting it, trying to catch it. But they couldn’t win that race.
And I kept thinking: Why?
Why did this happen to him? What are we missing here? Why can’t anyone give me a real answer?
My father didn’t make it. But that experience gave me something I carry every single day: the need to understand what’s really going on beneath the disease.
Going After the Answers
I couldn’t let it go. I needed to know what was hiding behind illness. Not just the symptoms, not just what the scans showed, but the why underneath all of it.
So I started searching.
I studied every therapeutic modality I could find. Naturopathy. Homeopathy. Traditional Chinese Medicine. I didn’t just want to learn them. I needed to understand how they worked, why they worked, what they were seeing that Western medicine wasn’t. I was trying to find where all the different modalities connect and interact, providing cross-checked information about the cause beyond what we could observe with our eyes.
And I went deeper. I researched the human biofield, this photonic informational field that exists beyond what we can touch or measure in a conventional lab. I pursued a PhD at the SR21 Institute in Zurich, focusing on exactly that: what’s happening in the unseen.
Over the years, I’ve assessed more than ten thousand people. Ten thousand times, I’ve looked at someone and asked: what’s really happening here? What are we not seeing?
And what I found is this: Western medicine is missing half the picture. It’s not looking at what’s happening in the unseen. The personality, the emotions, the beliefs, the energy field that holds it all together.
We’re so much more than our bodies. We exist beyond time and space. And if we don’t address that, we’re only ever treating half the person.
The Team That Made It Real
I couldn’t do this alone. I didn’t want to.
I started reaching out to people who felt the same way. Doctors, researchers, practitioners who understood that we needed to bring science and traditional wisdom together. People who weren’t afraid to ask the hard questions. People who cared about the whole human being, not just the diagnosis.
Professor Konstantin Korotkov brought his decades of research in biofield technology. Felix Economakis, a chartered psychologist, showed us how the mind and body communicate in ways we barely understand. Dr Bianca Madison-Vuleta from Harvard Medical School came in with lifestyle medicine. Dr Shashi Mohan Sharma brought the depth of classical homeopathy. Dr Sotirios Nikolopoulos, a molecular oncologist, connected the dots between epigenetics and personalised medicine.
They came. They stayed. They believed in what we were building.
This team didn’t just support me. They made the dream real. They gave their knowledge, their time, their hearts. They said yes when the world was still saying this couldn’t work.
Why We Do What We Do
Here’s what I believe: the placebo effect isn’t a nuisance to control for in research. It’s a mechanism of healing we need to understand. Your deep beliefs can change your health. Your emotions matter. Your energy field matters.
And if that’s true, and I know it is, then we need to meet people there. With empathy. With real therapeutic rapport. With the kind of care that sees the whole person.
That’s why we brought psychology into the curriculum. That’s why we teach homeopathy and traditional Chinese medicine and lifestyle interventions and biofield assessment. Not as alternatives to Western medicine, but as the pieces that complete it.
We’re not rejecting science. We’re expanding it. We’re asking the questions it hasn’t learned to ask yet.
The Academy of Humanopathy
The Academy was born in London in 2023.
I named it Humanopathy, from ‘human’ and the Greek word ‘pathos,’ meaning passion. Because that’s what this is. It’s humanity. It’s passion. It’s the refusal to accept that medicine has to stay the way it’s always been.
Since then, we’ve grown. We’re now training practitioners across the world. Medical doctors who know there’s more to healing than prescriptions, health professionals who want to integrate what they’ve learned, people starting entirely new careers because they feel called to this work.
Every person who joins us adds something. A new perspective. A new question. A new piece of the picture.
We’re a family now. A global family. And we’re all here because we believe the same thing: medicine can be more.
What We’re Building Together
We’re reimagining medicine. Not tearing it down. Expanding it. Asking what’s possible when we treat the whole person. When we look at the seen and the unseen. When we work from the heart, not just the head.
This isn’t just about training. It’s about changing how we think about health. How we think about people. How we show up when someone is suffering and needs real answers, not just a prescription.
We serve humanity. We support each other. We care, really care, about the people we work with and the people we treat.
That’s what Humanopathy is. That’s what we’re doing here.
Join Us
If you’ve ever felt like something was missing in medicine…
If you’ve watched someone suffer and thought, “There has to be more we can do”…
If you believe, like I do, that we’re more than our symptoms, more than our diagnoses, more than what fits on a chart…
Then you already understand what we’re doing here.
The Academy isn’t just a programme. It’s a movement. A community. A group of people connected by love, by science, by the belief that we can do better.
We’re growing. And we’re doing this together.
Healing with Heart, Reimagining Medicine.
That’s who we are.
