She went from the brink of burnout to becoming "The Nervous System Whisperer;" a journey that taught her the transformative power of somatic movement.
Today we welcome Nahid de Belgeonne. After nearly losing her life to a gangrenous appendix, she went on a mission to help others break free from the cycle of chronic stress and anxiety she knew all too well.
Over two decades of experience and research led Nahid to develop The Human Method, her approach to rewiring the brain through movement. When she founded yoga and Pilates studios in central London, she saw so many high-achievers trapped in the same pattern she once lived: trying to think their way out of feeling states.
Nahid’s work has been featured in the Oprah Newsletter, Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper, The Times, Sunday Times Style Magazine, The Guardian, Bazaar UK, Grazia and many others. Today we talk about practical advice you can use right now to ease anxiety, how our self image is not made up of cognitive thinking and how in terms of wellness, smashed avocado on sourdough and yoga alone just ain’t gonna cut it!
