Registered CMA Practitioner • Homeopath • Herbalist • Cultural Healer
🌍 UK & East Africa | Founder of Shilajit Wellness UK
My Journey & Mission:
My journey into healing began more than a decade ago, when my mother’s chronic illness was left untreated by conventional systems. That moment changed everything — leading me back to ancestral knowledge and a lifelong commitment to natural medicine and community healing.
As a poet rooted in Somali oral tradition and a practitioner of natural healing, I’ve worked to support those often marginalised by mainstream systems — especially migrant, refugee, and diaspora communities. My practice is grounded in cultural understanding, oral tradition, and the belief that healing is both personal and collective.
I later formalised my training with a Level 3 Diploma in Homeopathy (Distinction) and became a registered CMA practitioner. I continue to work between East Africa and the UK, sharing knowledge, training others, and providing holistic, culturally sensitive care.
What I Offer:
🌿 Culturally rooted, trauma-informed homeopathic consultations
🌿 Herbal and adaptogenic support based on African, Unani, and Ayurvedic systems
🌿 Education and empowerment around natural health and self-care
🌿 Individualised support for chronic fatigue, hormonal issues, emotional trauma, diabetes & more
More About Me:
In 2012, I represented Somalia at the Poetry Parnassus during the London Cultural Olympiad — a global gathering of poets from 204 nations. My poem “Central London” was translated by Dr. Martin Orwin and featured in *The World Record* anthology (Bloodaxe Books, 2012), the official Olympic poetry collection. Thousands of commemorative bookmarks with this poem were dropped from a helicopter over Southbank at the festival’s opening ceremony.
That same year, I also co-translated Shakespeare’s Sonnet XII into Somali with Dr. Orwin. It was performed at the Globe Theatre’s Sonnet Sunday — a multilingual tribute to Shakespeare involving over 20 world languages.
These collaborations were later highlighted in the UK’s official REF 2014 case study, recognising their cultural and academic impact. My work with Dr. Orwin and the Poetry Translation Centre contributed to the wider appreciation of Somali poetry, both in the diaspora and international literary community.
I’ve long used cultural and creative platforms to support healing. For several years, I facilitated mental health awareness and community wellbeing at Cromer Café in London — a unique oral healing hub described in a Goldsmiths University PhD thesis (2012) as a “living archive.” Though no longer active, its legacy lives on through my ongoing work in wellness and education.
In 2025, I launched Shilaj Wellness UK, offering a range of GMP and ISO-certified natural products, including pure Himalayan Shilajit resin, adaptogenic formulas, and herbal teas — each grounded in ancestral knowledge and crafted with scientific care.
I believe healing is not just treatment — it is reconnection:
Reconnection to nature, to tradition, and to our true selves.
I look forward to supporting your wellness journey. 🌿
