Psoriasis is a chronic auto-immune disease caused by systemic inflammation in the body from cell and immune disorders. It manifests on the skin, in joints, affects immune function and the organs. At its height of severity can be critically disabling, cause depression, and affect a persons quality of life. It is estimated 60 million people have psoriasis globally, and to date there is no medical cure (only remission). Through her work Kookie hopes raise awareness of this, and support community healing through movement & emotional freedom practises.
