Supervised SHEN Intern

London, West End

I was born in Beirut, Lebanon, moving to Jordan in 1979/1980 due to civil war in Lebanon.
I graduated with a degree in History of Art from NYU (New York University), and Masters in East Asian Art from Sotheby’s.
I have travelled to China and India, (related to studies) and speak Arabic, English and can get by in French & Spanish.
About twelve years ago, following a stressful time in my life, I was diagnosed with autoimmune Graves Disease. My body was literally attacking my thyroid, which wreaked havoc with my hormones, weight, emotional wellbeing, and vanity.
The disease, sparked my earnest quest into the world of physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
During the past decade, I played guinea pig to a host of alternative therapies in the hope of feeling better, preventing the disease from recurring by maintaining optimal health. So I approached every thing I “tested” with an open mind for my own benefit but also with a critical angle from which to find the best fit for me to train in as I knew I wanted to offer relief to others as I had so graciously received it.
This is where SHEN comes in. My own experience of it gave me insights into my self, in a new way that can only be described as the closest thing I knew that was my truth. Things that kept me stuck started to clear and I just began to feel better, but from a deeper place than I had known before.
I don’t believe in a magic formula – our humanity unfolds over a lifetime and it is the appreciation of the journey that enriches us.
I cannot recommend SHEN enough as a tremendous support on that journey.
I suppose what I love most about SHEN is the total respect for and faith in the client, in trusting that the body knows how to heal itself and feel better, be it emotionally or otherwise.
It is a privilege to be able to continue with my training now as a Supervised SHEN intern, and to keep learning and growing every day.”
I practice in West London.
