The Practice
I read what is moving underneath what is visible.
I was born in Istanbul and learned to read in my grandmother's kitchen on the Aegean coast, where the women in my family read olive oil on water. I studied psychology in university because I wanted words for what she understood without effort.
People speak with their whole body. The mouth is the last to admit anything. If you listen with your eyes, you find out everything before they say a word.
Fifteen years later I still do the same work, just for people I will never meet in person. Every reading and every ritual is mine alone. No assistants, no scripts, no AI. I sit with your energy until it tells me what it needs me to see, and I write it down by hand.
