Body-oriented coaching and nervous-system support. For when insight alone hasn't shifted how you want to feel and be.

We spend a lot of time getting to know ourselves.. understanding our patterns, making sense of our experiences and finding words for what’s going on.

What happens when we begin to listen to the body's sense of our experiences, including what we might not yet have words for? What might we discover about ourselves, our familiar ways of responding, and how we relate to what’s happening in our lives?

exploring what else is possible

That space between knowing and experiencing is where somatic work begins. Perhaps you’ve spent time trying to understand yourself: exploring your patterns, learning about attachment, and making connections between your past and the way you respond today. I think there’s so much value in this. Understanding can bring clarity, compassion and a different perspective on things we’ve struggled with.

And yet, I’ve often wondered why we can understand ourselves so well and still find ourselves responding in familiar ways?

Somatic work invites us to bring another part of ourselves into the picture: our lived experience. What we notice in our bodies, our feelings and our responses, and how these shape the way we move through the world.

Many of our familiar responses developed for a reason. I’m interested in what happens when we begin to approach them with a little more curiosity. What might they have been looking after? What do we notice about them now? And is there something we’d like to experience differently?

what sessions are like

Come as you are. We’ll start there.

Over 4 sessions, we’ll make space for what matters to you: something you’d like to change, a decision you’re sitting with, a pattern you’ve noticed, or something you’d like to make more space for in your life.

Alongside talk, we might slow down and notice what’s happening in your body. We can explore through movement, breath, imagery or simply pausing to notice. You decide what feels right to explore, and we move at your pace. Sessions take place on Zoom, wherever you feel comfortable. Your sofa, kitchen or bed with a cup of tea.

Along the way, you’ll receive:

  • A short note after each session with reflections and things to explore

  • Gentle practices

  • A personal collection of things that help, drawn from what you discover

If you’re curious, I’d love to explore this with you.

in their words, somatics + nutrition

  • S.H

    I can genuinely say that experiencing her sessions myself has made such a difference in my life.

    I’m someone who tends to overthink, spiral, and get stuck in the past or worrying about the future. Being present has always been a struggle for me, especially in my relationships. After just three sessions with her, I felt noticeably more grounded, present, and connected to myself. And the best part is that the people closest to me noticed the difference too, especially my partner.

    I’ve worked with a therapist before and found it helpful, but this felt different in a way that really reached me. I feel calmer, more present, and genuinely so much better. I’m so grateful I got to experience her work, and I couldn’t recommend her more.

  • Celine Jaber

    ‘‘Meeting Nawar Kamona has been a game changer in my life. Growing up with hormonal imbalances, pcos and severe acne, i was used to having pills thrown at me and believing that they were the only cure. Nawar was the first to really take her time in getting to the root of my issues, and helped me see the link between my mind, my gut, my hormones and my skin. Little did I know, that her holistic approach and advice will not only help me overcome the specific things I went to her for, but were actually tools she equipped me with that continue to serve me in everyday life; And for that I am eternally grateful!’’

  • Emma White

    ''I genuinely do not know where to begin writing about how highly I recommend Nawar. Nawar and I met four years ago and since then she has helped me with life coaching, advising me on how best to combat my allergies, how to fix troubles with my ongoing stomach issues and most recently, at an incredible all female empowerment workshop that she was hosting. Nawar is such a caring, warm person who genuinely holds space for her patients. She has such a great energy and this makes me feel comfortable sharing my issues with her. The way that Nawar approaches her coaching and nutrition work is unlike anything I have experienced before. She looks at things from a totally new perspective to what I have experienced in the past. She uses techniques and exercises that allow patients to get to the root of their issues and come to realisations about what might be causing their issues, rather than forcing a “one size fits all” diagnosis and treatment.'' I couldn’t recommend Nawar’s service highly enough. Look no further!''

  • Hala

    I can’t thank Nawar enough for the incredible impact she’s had on my health and well-being. When I first came to her, I was dealing with a wide range of symptoms and discomforts that no one had been able to resolve. Nawar helped me understand how different aspects of my lifestyle, diet, and overall habits were affecting my body, and she taught me how to use food, herbs, and supplements to support my health holistically. Three months later, I feel like a completely new person, with clearer skin, more energy, and a consistently better mood throughout the month.

    What I valued most was Nawar’s dedication and attentiveness. She treats every patient with remarkable care, always responsive and ready to help with any new concerns. She not only improved my health but also taught me how to better connect my lifestyle to my well-being—knowledge I will carry with me forever. I cannot recommend her enough!

  • Phill

    '‘Nawar has made a huge difference to my health and well-being since working with her.  Having worked with a number of industry professionals, Nawar's knowledge and expertise on gut health sets her aside from her industry peers as her diagnosis and medicinal remedies made a huge difference to my gut, and in turn, day to day life.  Nawar is very personable and creates a genuine 'safe space' to share exactly what I am feeling which is imperative in getting to the 'bottom' (excuse the pun) of my problems.  Highly recommended!''

  • Ellen S

    ‘‘I can’t recommend Nawar enough. She helped me understand the causes to some of the symptoms I had been experiencing for years. I had seen a number of doctors for my acne, all of which prescribed really strong medication which gave me terrible side effects. Once I stopped with the medication, the acne came back so I knew something was wrong but I just didn’t know what. Three months after taking onboard Nawar’s dietary and supplementary recommendations, my acne finally cleared up and my sleep and energy levels improved significantly. I can’t thank her enough. She addressed the root causes of my problems rather than just the presenting symptoms. Nawar is open-minded and has a great approach to health and nutrition and I always felt safe with the recommendations she gave me. ‘‘

  • Rosa

    ‘"Nawar has been the key to incredible changes in my life. She is not only a practitioner, she is a friend. My body was under strain for quite a long time. Before I met Nawar, I visited so many doctors, specialists, took courses online, spoke to friends with similar medical history but no one could really help me in any way or even guide me in the right direction. From the moment I started the treatment with her, everything started to change. I knew I came to the right person and I was so RIGHT! I have made drastic changes in my life in the recent couple of years that without her support would have been impossible. She takes time to thoroughly understand your core being and your highest potential and the relationship with your current health issues to find the root cause of your pain. In the whole 32 years of my life, I have never been treated by someone so kind and caring as her. From her long and informative emails, the great exercises and tips on lifestyle changes, diet and ways to deal with stress to all the great supplements she has suggested, they are all so perfectly done. I have made an enormous improvement in my health and I could not be more thankful to this beautiful soul. She is a true physical, emotional and spiritual guide."

  • Marie Christine

    ‘‘I had some health issues and I wanted to discuss them and find sustainable solutions. I started working with Nawar after attending one of her workshops "Flow with your cycle".  I loved her approach, and I really trust her knowledge. What I liked the most is the fact that she focuses on "adding" food to feel better and not "removing". Also, she focuses a lot on the overall wellbeing, not only on the symptoms. She focuses on the person as a whole. I learned more about my body, and how to be gentle with it while keeping my health goals as a priority. I felt happier and more connected to myself with this approach. I reached great health results: I had headaches that were annoying me, with some food practices the headaches were reduced a lot. I also worked on regulating my cycle (I have PCOS and pretty irregular cycles)  it went really well and I understood how my food, movement, stress were affecting my cycle, so I can work on them to regulate it more. I recommend people who have health issues and want to be more aware of what's going on, to understand the root cause, to go to Nawar, I am sure that working with her will be incredible.’’

  • Deema

    ''Before I started my treatment with Nawar, I was suffering with digestive issues from acidity to bloatedness. I had a lot of skin imbalances like acne, scarring and very dry hands, as well as fungal overgrowth on my skin. I went to so many doctors and no one could help me with a solution. Nawar helped me find the source of the problem, and after doing almost 10 months treatments, I’m so happy to say that my acne and dry hands has fully calmed, my digestive problems are so much better that I can eat what I want without discomfort. She has supported me physically and emotionally along this healing journey, and that is so rare to find in a health practitioner. Whenever I have a problem, she is always there to help me and give me the necessary advice and treatment, which I can instantly see positive results from. I’m really happy that I began naturopathy with Nawar. I recommend her to anyone that is dealing with imbalances in their body. She really does a great job at finding the source of the issue and assigning an appropriate treatment''.

  • Mona

    ''Nawar treated my mother and I as friends rather than just patients. She made time for us and was very attentive to our concerns. Her diagnosis was on point and she was able to connect my symptoms to scientific causes through the stool test and invasive questionnaire. She took the time to derive a detailed, gradual and customized dietary plan accompanied with a selection of high quality supplements that helped fast track the results. The results were fantastic! I used to suffer from severe bloating and Nawar helped me control it by teaching me how to eat and what to eat as well as treated the necessary problems in my gut''. 

    ​Thank you for all your time and help, it was life-changing!''

  • Tony

    ''I came to Nawar after having spent many years going from one practitioner to another trying to cure my constant low energy and gut/bowel movements. After one consultation Nawar identified the root of my problem and within two months she cured me. Her thorough and careful follow up is uncommon, I have never met a practitioner that shows so much care and attention towards a patient. I believe she has healing powers and I am blessed to have met her. I’m forever grateful.''

  • Nadeen

    ''I have always resorted to Nawar in regards to any physiological challenge I experienced related to my gut-health and other related health challenges. Using natural medicine, Nawar’s diagnostic method has impressively identified the root cause of what I was experiencing. Her healing plan tremendously helped me combat pyrosis, chronic fatigue and burnout, stress-related symptoms. Nawar has also helped improve my lifestyle in the context of nutrients intake, bone and gut strengthening and immunity. In addition to her enriched knowledge and profound experience in the field, Nawar is up to date with modern research and had consistently treated me in an ingenious and meticulous manner. Importantly, her professional approach in our sessions was very comforting and exceptionally mindful of the possible psychological and emotional challenges that one can face whilst being diagnosed and treated. I am very grateful to have been introduced to Nawar. She is definitely on my speed dial on my practitioner’s list!'' 

  • Anonymous

    After years of suffering due to reproductive and general health issues, going to 10+ doctors, I was lucky to come across Nawar who showed me how everything in our body is connected. I can safely say that all the issues I was facing have been resolved, from chronic UTIs, Acne, Chronic Thrush and BV, fatigue, stress and digestive problems. Unlike traditional medicine, with alternative medicine you might not see an effect over night, but you are really solving the issue at the core and the most important thing is to be patient with yourself and educate yourself on what Nawar shares, to really understand how the body works. Nawar gave me the space to do things at my pace and answer all questions I had, while supporting me all along the way. I dont know what I would do without her! I could not recommend her more.

hello, i'm Nawar :)

I came to this work through my own body, one that didn’t always feel particularly easy to live in.

Through that journey, and nearly nine years of clinical work, one question kept finding its way back to me: Why doesn’t understanding ourselves always change how we feel, how we respond, or the patterns we find ourselves repeating?

After years working as a nutritional therapist, I found myself drawn beyond what we put into the body, towards how we experience life through it.

what is somatic coaching?

Somatic work is slower, and that’s part of the point. We take time to notice what’s happening in the body and get curious about how it might be shaping our experience.

“Soma” is Greek for body. Somatic coaching brings your whole self into the conversation: your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and the quieter things you might sense but struggle to put into words.

Perhaps you find yourself pleasing others at your own expense, shutting down during difficult conversations, or pushing through when you’re already overwhelmed. You might understand these patterns well and know where they come from, yet still find yourself caught in them. Somatic coaching offers another way to explore what’s happening.

By slowing down and paying attention to these moments, we can begin to notice patterns that might otherwise go unseen. From there, new possibilities can emerge: expressing a boundary, navigating a difficult conversation, making a decision or recognising what you need.

With practice, different ways of responding can become more familiar. Over time, this can create more room to choose how you respond to yourself, others and the situations you find yourself in.

At the heart of our work is agency: developing a greater sense of choice in how you experience and respond to life.

As Peter Levine describes, when the energy held in old stress responses becomes available again, it can support a greater capacity to engage with life.

Questions

    • You know yourself well: the therapy, the books, the podcasts, and you’re a little tired of only thinking about it.

    • You can explain why you react the way you do, and you still react that way.

    • You’re curious, a bit experimental, and open to trying something unfamiliar.

    • You’d like more room to be yourself, in your relationships, your decisions and your ordinary days.

  • This is body-oriented coaching: we work with how stress is held in your body right now, not only with what you think about it. Because my background is in nutrition, I also pay attention to how your body is functioning day to day: sleep, digestion, energy, how and when you eat. Where it's useful, food and daily rhythm become gentle anchors alongside the nervous-system work, and we look at this through your intake questionnaire.

  • No. Somatic coaching is not therapy and is not a replacement for clinical or medical care. As a somatic coach, my work is client-led, present-focused, and orientated around your growth and capacity, rather than clinical diagnosis or treatment. That said, somatic coaching works beautifully alongside therapy or psychiatric support, and many of my clients come with an existing therapeutic relationship. If you're unsure whether this is the right fit, feel free to get in touch before booking.

  • It varies from person to person. Some sessions feel quite noticeable, and others are quieter and more gradual. In the pilot we meet four times, and we keep checking in on what you’re noticing along the way.

  • There's talking, but the focus is on what's happening in your body while we talk. That might mean noticing sensation, slowing down a reaction, or working with something small before it builds. You don't need to perform insight, just notice what's actually there.

  • Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a body-based approach to stress and trauma developed by Dr Peter Levine. Rather than going back over what happened, it works with the sensations and shifts in your body in the present moment, at a pace that feels manageable. I’m training in SE (currently at Beginning II), and it informs how I work in sessions.

  • No, not at all :) most people arrive with no background in this. You don't need the language for what's happening in your body before we start, that's part of what we build together.

  • No, this isn’t energy work, and it isn’t spiritual in that sense. We work with what you can notice in your body, like your breath, tension, posture and the way you respond, alongside the conversation.

  • No. We work with what's happening in your body now. You never have to narrate your history in detail for this work to be effective.

  • That's very common and it isn't a problem. That is information too, and building the ability to sense is part of the work rather than a prerequisite for it.

  • No. This practice doesn't include functional testing or supplement protocols. Where food is relevant, it's simple and practical, and we'll look at it together through your intake questionnaire.

  • Four 1:1 sessions on Zoom between November and January. The first is up to 90 minutes, and the rest are 50 minutes. It’s free, and all I ask in return is your honest feedback along the way, so you’d be helping to shape what this programme becomes.

  • The form takes about 5 minutes. I read every application myself and get back to you within a week, whichever way it goes. If you’re one of the two, we’ll find a time for our first session. If not, I’ll still be in touch with some other ways we could work together.

Ask me a question

“When life pulls you away from yourself, the answer isn’t to think harder. It’s to come back into your body, notice what’s true, and move from there. Toward the person you’re choosing to become.”
