Awareness of our aliveness, our body and breath in flow, beneath the noise of our mind, is the key to our wellbeing.
About Me
Healing is not a selfish act. It is a necessary act. And a loving act. The more chaos, uncertainty and loss in the world, the more we have to gain in finding our inner stability, voice and insights.
I have trained in many somatic practices with the aim of helping people connect to peace, calm and power when all seems lost. My first exposure to the healing potential of working with the body came through yoga and qi gong. I became a certified yoga teacher in 2009 and practiced mostly in community support and humanitarian settings because I could see the profound impact that basic yoga principles have on managing stress, trauma and mental health.
Expanding from group practices in yoga & qi gong to private practices in trauma healing, i became a certified Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioner in 2018 and a certified international training assistant and approved provider for SE students at all levels by 2025. I'm very proud to have been a core member of the Arabic translation team for the SE trainings in Cairo and to be an accessible Arabic-speaking trauma-healing practitioner.
I am also IPPD certified, an advanced somatic training for working with Integrated Pre-Natal and Perinatal Dynamics including transgenerational trauma and birth trauma. Lastly, my practice is informed by SE Touch, as well as Neuro Affective Touch for healing earliest wounds, and by the Bodynamics Foundations program which integrates stages of development with stages of sensori-motor function.
Proud to be a trustee Tools 4 Inner Peace and co-founder of the Dubai-based holistic wellness center Body Mind You.
