We are delighted to host the launch of Hanna McElhinney's ground-breaking non-fiction examination of alternative therapies, Wormhole.

In October 2022, Lauren – a young Australian woman in her mid-thirties – left for Malaysia to undergo an alternative medical treatment for Chronic Lyme Disease. She never returned. Haunted by her cousin’s death, writer Hannah McElhinney retraces Lauren’s descent into the alternative medicine wormhole to investigate how she got there, and how easy it may be for others to do the same.

Both a deeply personal account and a wide-ranging exploration of medical misogyny, wellness culture and misinformation, Wormhole is an urgent and empathetic addition to the conversation about the future of modern medicine and wellness culture.
