Allow me to introduce myself
It's me, Jenna, salaam 👋🏼
💁🏻♀️ I was just a Muslim Iraqi girl living in Yorkshire.
🍕 With my dad running a takeaway, pizza and kebabs were always in reach - an absolute dream! My mum didn't like cooking so she made a lot of quick pasta or rice and stew dishes.
🧘🏻♀️ In high school, I began feeling self conscious about how much bigger I was than my classmates. I wanted to do something about it - so I started yoga on my WiiFit, and walking to school.
🏃🏻♀️ In my 20's, I fell in love with the gym. I began lifting weights, running, and trying to wrap my head around how to eat for my fitness goals.
🥗 Over time, I noticed that many people in the Muslim and Arab communities around me wanted to be healthier too. They were eager for fitness and nutrition knowledge but didn’t always know where to start.
🏋️♀️ I wanted to make a difference. I earned qualifications in Nutrition, Personal Training, Programme Design and Group Exercise. I worked in a gym to gain experience and began building tools to empower my community to live healthier lives.
🎉 I started NOURISHED to help you elevate your health and wellbeing, inspired by the principles of Islam and modern fitness science.
The Mission 🚀
🕌 "I don’t know why I always gain weight during Ramadan…"
"I’m skipping rice to fit into my dress for my cousin’s wedding - I know my aunts will talk."
"I want to go gym, but wearing a hijab and working out is uncomfortable."
At NOURISHED, we understand these challenges and aim to provide solutions that honour your faith and lifestyle.
🔬 Rooted in Faith, Backed by Science
Islam has profound teachings on nutrition, and modern fitness science offers invaluable insights. My experience with both allows me to provide structured strategies that align Islamic guidance with scientific principles, helping you achieve your health goals.
🤸🏻 Fitness, Anywhere and Everywhere
For over 12 years, I’ve worked out in gyms, public parks, small bedrooms, shared living rooms, hotels, and even on beaches. Fitness doesn’t have to be tied to a gym. it can be adapted to suit your space, time, and circumstances. At NOURISHED, I create personalised fitness plans tailored to your unique lifestyle.
👭🏻 Community and Accountability
Wellness thrives in community. At NOURISHED, we believe no one should walk this journey alone. Through support, encouragement, and accountability, we build a network that uplifts and motivates.
