Naar Zeina

I have a background in law, humanitarian work, social justice, literature and academia.  I’ve always had an interest in esoteric and healing traditions.  My explorations took me to several Yoga paths, Tai Chi, Vipassana, Zen, Shamanism, Sufism, Tantra, and the Himalayan Tradition. I studied various forms of movement practices and dance as a way to resolve and release blocks. After an incident in which I hurt my back and was in constant pain, I eventually left my job and delved deeper into meditation, embodiment and self-development.  It was a journey of befriending the body. I discovered Kundalini Yoga (also known as “spinal yoga” and “the yoga of awareness”) and started teaching in mental health and wellbeing-at-work settings.  


Unresolved trauma can cause physiological and behavioural patterns long after the traumatic event itself is no longer relevant – even in the absence of symptoms, “the past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort” - Bessel Van der Kolk.  On the other hand, simple embodiment practices, connection and community, sound, song, movement and attention to breath, can engage and uplift us instantly, bringing health back into perspective. In a craniosacral therapy session, the focus is on the body’s inherent health and the subtle expressions of the life force, often referred to as the "Breath of Life." The therapist’s role is to allow the body to self-correct at its own pace, whilst recognizing the connections between different body systems.


My 5-year experience of working in conflict zones around the globe, had prepared me for holding space for individuals in mental distress.  Experiences in areas touched by conflict have provided me with insight into how people cope with shock and trauma. This understanding and compassion is something I bring into my practice. My approach is trauma informed and my experience allows me to guide my clients toward healing on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual.

“I've had a couple of cranio sessions with Zinzi now. Both have been really deep and connected experiences.  She brings a wonderful warmth to the session and checked in with my comfort and noticings. The treatment is like a blissful balance of mind, body, energy and soul which I carry with me for weeks afterwards. Highly recommend a session with Naar.”

Johnny, Hackney


“It was a true gift to receive several sessions from Naar. She is very professional and her intuition and gentle touch made every session a unique experience. If I was still in London I would have loved to continue regular treatments. Thank you!!” 

Elisabeth, West Hampstead


“My experiences with Zeina have always been grounding, feeling closer to myself and more connected. I found it incredibly easy to open myself to her and I found her to be a very gentle and calming guide. Some sessions were confusing and the sensations I experienced were strange but I always found her curious and ready to help me understand. The energy I’ve felt from Zeina in this process has been really special, I’ve felt surrounded and held in a wonderful way, almost feeling part of a community. I’ll be forever grateful to her for her sharing her gift with me.”

“My session with Naar was beautiful. Tender, gentle, profound.” 

Andrew, Ealing


“Craniosacral therapy highly, highly recommended! Naar offers a gentle and very potent space to feel and heal.” 

Claire, Highbury


“Treatment with Zinzi has had a profound impact on my life and my health, both physically as well as emotionally. As a healer myself I recognise another powerful healer, she’s really quite magical! Her treatments have been gentle but profound enough to help shift stubborn chronic health issue I had been dealing with. The treatment also seems to heal by addressing any underlying emotions that may have been blocking the physical to heal. I have seen results with Zinzi that I have struggled to find elsewhere. I highly recommend a series of treatment with her.”  

Imogen, Hampstead


“I had the pleasure of having sessions with Naar. Her warmth calmness and knowledge  made the whole experience deep and healing. I was able to relax, experience connection with my body and self. Also, I received clarity on what was actually happening to me. Thank you for your gifts and service.” 

Marta, Croydon


“I didn’t know quite what to expect from this treatment and I was slightly dubious if I would gain anything from it. As soon as I lay on the couch and the treatment began I felt relaxed and held by Naar. I was amazed by the way she tuned into my body picking up and releasing traumas in my body, some I knew of already and others I didn’t. The care and compassion throughout the session created a safe space and I felt a real release by the end.  I have now had two sessions with Naar and I am truly grateful for these sessions and the safe space she provides.Thank you.”

Christian, Wimbledon


“I came to see Naar on many occasions and have a session of Cranial while she was studying this incredible therapy which I love very much. So it was such a gift to have those sessions with Naar as she was very professional, kind, welcoming and we really went deep in my sessions with her. It was in a such restorative way going through my entire Being; mind, physical and soul. I really appreciated her knowledge and felt so safe and protected by her nurturing nature and I had total confidence in her abilities in her entirety when she was working on me; really from welcoming to the beginning and to the end of our sessions. She also made sure that I was ok to go home after. She is caring, truthworthy, and know it all. In times that I come in to see her in my worst, I felt the benefits of her treatments on me during and after which had a long lasting impact in my life and in my entire Being. I wish her, Naar all the very best and I cannot recommend her enough…she works brilliantly giving all of herself for the benefits of others. I was very blessed and lucky to be able to have such healthy, healing experiences with Naar. Sending you on your beautiful journey with much praise and love.”

''I was going through the worst time in my life having lost my beautiful 29 year old daughter to suicide  I felt very tense with various aches & pains especially in my chest, hip & neck areas.  Zaina had put an offer on Facebook for people for her to  practice her CS on for her assessment & I jumped at the chance, he really helped me through that, tragic time with her gentleness, skill set, professionalism & understanding.   I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is very thorough & has given me some good insights into ways to help my body, mind & spirit.  I will be eternally grateful to her.'' 

Karen, Oxford


''I came to Zeina because of a pain in my shoulders that I had been having for a few weeks. What I didn't know is that, in addition to ending the pain, I would experience a profound change in the perception of my body. Each session with  Zeina  is a gift, where I learn to listen to the subtle and understand that my body is completely alive.. Zeina could hear my body and I noticed how my body could react guided by her. I felt like  Zeina was the bridge between me and my body.  She was touching me without touching me. The pain started to subside and the day after I felt much better. It was an experience of great self-listening.'' 

Thank you !


''I have the privilege to do cranio sacral with Zinzi. I highly recommend her services to individuals who want to understand their body better and shred the layers of trauma, stepping into wholeness and self confidence. Each session I am in awe of everything that is brought to the surface. Zinzi has immense wisdom, compassion and professionalism. She is such a warm and intuitive healer. Thank you so much dear one.”
