Science-led, body-centred support for people navigating stress, burnout, and disconnection at your pace, with care.
I'm not currently taking on new clients, but I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a message, and I'll be in touch when a space opens up.
Hi, I'm Nawar.
Nutritional Therapist, Psycho-neuroimmunologist / Somatic Practitioner in Training.
Hello!Your body is constantly responding to stress, to history, to everything it's been asked to carry. My background spans nutritional therapy, naturopathic philosophy, and postgraduate study in bioregulatory medicine and psychoneuroimmunology (M.Sc, ND, NT, BANT, CNHC). My goal is to help you feel more connected to your body, more resourced in your choices, and more empowered in your health.
Many of the people I work with are exhausted but wired, struggling to sleep, battling low energy, digestive issues, or a sense of being permanently on edge without a clear reason why. They've been pushing through for so long, they've lost the thread back to themselves. Functioning, sometimes highly, but underneath there's a flatness, a tension, a body that feels more like something to manage than somewhere to live.
My work is rooted in somatic experiencing and psychoneuroimmunology, the science of how your mind, nervous system, and immune system are in constant conversation. What we now understand is that the body doesn't separate stress from biology. Hormones, inflammation, digestion, energy, all of it is shaped by the state of your nervous system. When the system feels safe, things shift.
Food, rest, and daily rhythms are always part of the picture, and never approached rigidly. Where it feels supportive, I offer simple, food-based guidance to help build steadier energy and reduce stress.
My Educational Background
My Training
I trained as a Registered Nutritionist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London (2017), earning a qualification in Naturopathic Philosophy. And an MSc in Personalised Nutrition at CNELM, focusing on functional medicine, advanced lab testing, epigenetics, and personalised healthcare.
My training in bioregulatory medicine at the Biomedic Clinic in London expanded my understanding of how chronic stress, unresolved trauma, and dysregulated immune responses quietly shape our health.
I'm currently deepening my practice through studies in Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), the science of how the mind, nervous system, and immune system communicate as one, and Somatic Experiencing, a body-centred approach to healing trauma and chronic stress developed by Dr Peter Levine. Rather than reliving difficult experiences, Somatic Experiencing gently tracks and completes the body's natural survival responses, releasing what has been held in the tissues, breath, and nervous system over time. Together, these fields are reshaping how I understand the root causes of hormonal disruption, gut dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and burnout.
My Approach
I don't separate the body from the mind, or the biochemistry from the biography. Sessions weave together functional nutrition, personalised testing, breath and somatic practices, and where needed a deeper look through lab analysis at the patterns that have been running quietly in the background.
If your body has been trying to get your attention, this is a good place to start.

What working together is like
This work is for people who want to reconnect with themselves and build a more grounded, empowered relationship with their own body.
Sessions are relaxed, supportive, and conversational. We begin with whatever feels most present: stress, fatigue, tension, or a sense of disconnection and gently explore what your nervous system needs to build more capacity and steadiness over time. There's no pressure to perform or get anything right. We're here to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you, and to build the conditions where it can begin to settle.
In sessions, we might:
✳ Begin with a full health history covering nutrition, sleep, symptoms, medical background, and anything else that feels relevant.
✳ Explore how stress and tension show up in your body
✳ Use gentle movement, breath, or rest to release what's being held
✳ Practice simple nervous system tools you can carry into daily life
✳ Notice patterns around energy, reactivity, and overwhelm
✳ Bring in simple, food-based support where it feels helpful without rules or restriction
✳ Create a space where you can slow down and let your guard down

-
This work sits at the intersection of somatic coaching and functional nutrition. Stress doesn't just live in the mind it shapes hormones, digestion, immune function, and energy. Where it feels useful, we look at how the body is functioning as a whole, and use food and daily rhythm as gentle anchors alongside nervous system support.
-
No. This is not therapy and is not a replacement for clinical or medical care. If you're currently working with a mental health professional, somatic coaching can work well alongside that as a complementary support.
-
Sessions are held online, typically weekly or fortnightly. The first session is 75 minutes; ongoing sessions are 50 minutes.
-
We may explore and reflect in ways that feel familiar but the focus shifts from the thinking mind to the body itself. Not simply observing it from a distance, as in mindfulness, but dropping into it. We track sensation, follow what the nervous system is communicating, and let the body lead rather than the narrative.
This usually means less talking and more noticing. Slowing down rather than unpacking. Through that process, protective patterns can begin to soften, and cycles that have been stuck can start to move.
The tools I use:
-
Regular, nourishing meals to support blood sugar and emotional steadiness
Protein for neurotransmitter support and stable energy
Fods to support digestive ease and abundance in microbiome
Hydration as a core nervous system tool
I may add in supplements based on any lab testing
Food as nourishment, not control, no rules, no restriction
Gentle structure around eating for rhythm and safety
-
Reflection tools to explore patterns without judgment
Exploring internalised stress and early relational imprints
Boundaries: Supporting clients in reducing chronic over-giving or hypervigilance
Self-compassion practices: Reducing immune activation triggered by shame/stress
Expressive writing or verbal processing: Shown to modulate immune response
Reframing persistent stress narratives
-
Supporting circadian rhythms (light, darkness, consistent sleep/wake cycles)
Simple wind-down rituals to reduce evening cortisol
Building restorative rest into the day (not just at night)
Respecting natural ultradian rhythms (stress–recovery cycles)
Gently challenging the productivity–rest binary
-
Breathwork: extended exhale, gentle rhythmic breath
Somatic tracking of sensations, tension, and emotion
Grounding tools (touch, texture, orientation)
Gentle movement: rocking, swaying, fascia support
Co-regulation through safe, attuned relational space
Pausing, pacing, and adjusting to what feels tolerable

Beyond the clinc
I enjoy creating digital art, and find that creativity and science speak the same language to me: both are about paying close attention to what's really there.
I tend to my plants with the same care I bring to my practice. I have previously hosted women's circles, supper clubs, potlucks, and female health workshops. I believe that healing is rarely a solitary act. Shared experience is its own kind of medicine. Science, mindfulness, and community are at the heart of everything I do.
