Hi, I'm Nawar.
Nutritional Therapist, Psycho-neuroimmunologist / Somatic Practitioner in Training.
Hello!My work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science and deep human healing. I believe that understanding why your body is doing what it's doing hormonally, immunologically, neurologically, is the first step toward actually changing it. But knowledge alone isn't enough. Real transformation happens when the body feels safe enough to shift.
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or worn down by ongoing stress, and who want to feel more at home in their bodies again. My approach is gentle, body-first, and led by the nervous system. We move slowly, with care, and always at your pace.
My background spans nutritional therapy and naturopathic philosophy, alongside current postgraduate study in psychoneuroimmunology the science of how the mind, nervous system, and immune system function as one unified whole. These disciplines (M.Sc, ND, NT, BANT, CNHC) shape how I understand the deep connection between stress, the nervous system, and physical health.
Food, rest, and daily rhythms are always part of the picture but never approached rigidly. Where it feels supportive, I offer simple, food-based guidance to help build steadier energy and reduce stress. No supplements, no tracking, no rules. Everything is optional and responsive to you.
My goal is to help you feel more connected to your body, more resourced in your choices, and more empowered in your health. If this feels like a good fit, you're welcome to reach out.
My Educational Background
My Training
I trained as a Registered Nutritionist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London (2017), where I earned a qualification in Naturopathic Philosophy and completed clinical training. I later deepened my expertise through 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 — often long before conventional medicine would name them as problems.
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 works by gently tracking and completing 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. In practice, this means I'll look at your labs and your life — your cortisol patterns and your sleep, your gut markers and your stress history, your hormones and your nervous system's baseline sense of safety.
Sessions weave together functional nutrition, personalised testing, breath and somatic practices, and, where needed a deep dive into the patterns that have been running quietly in the background.

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, shutdown, or a sense of disconnection. From there, we gently explore ways to support your nervous system building capacity, steadiness, and safety over time. There's no pressure to perform or get anything "right." Everything is optional, and you're always free to pause or shift direction. Over time, many people notice they feel less reactive, more grounded, and better able to meet life's challenges rather than simply pushing through.
In sessions, we might:
❋ The first session will involve an in-depth Health History (taking into account nutrition, sleep, medical history, diagnosis, symptoms, any medications, supplements youre currently on etc.)
❋ Practice simple ways to settle the nervous system that you can use day to day
❋ Notice patterns around energy, rest, and overwhelm
❋ Use gentle movement, rest, or breath to release held tension
❋ Explore how stress shows up in your body
❋ A Supportive and natural Space where you can let your guard down
❋ Bring in simple, food-based support when helpful, without rules or restriction
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 paint increasingly in digital form 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 host women's circles, supper clubs, and female health workshops because 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.
