Registered CMA Practitioner
Homeopath | Herbalist | Cultural Healer
🌍 Serving UK & East Africa | Founder, 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. In 2023, I also completed postgraduate-level studies in Natural Medicine through an independent online programme focused on anatomy, nutrition, and holistic disease understanding. While the institution has since closed, the knowledge continues to inform my work and deepen my approach to integrated healing.
I continue to work between East Africa and the UK, sharing knowledge, training others, and providing holistic, culturally sensitive care.
What I Offer:
My services are grounded in ancestral knowledge, natural medicine, and personal care. 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), the official Olympic poetry collection. Thousands of commemorative bookmarks with this poem were dropped from a helicopter over Southbank at the festival’s opening.
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.
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 Camden — a unique oral healing hub described in a Goldsmiths University PhD thesis (2012) as a “living archive.” Though no longer active under that name, its legacy continues through my current work at Queen’s Crescent, NW5 — the home of Shilajit Wellness UK, which now serves as both a community space and registered wellness office in the same borough.
In 2025, I launched Shilajit 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.
My Philosophy:
Healing is not just treatment — it is reconnection:
To nature. To tradition. To our true selves.
I look forward to supporting your wellness journey. 🌿
