Nadia Camilleri

YOGA THERAPIST

 

The first yoga therapist in training who will be IAYT- certified (International Association of Yoga Therapy) in Malta, Nadia is currently undergoing rigorous training from the Yoga Therapy Institute in the Netherlands. This followed her comprehensive Yoga Alliance-Registered 200-hour teacher training in Hatha, Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga which she completed in India in 2017. Nadia also completed her kids’ yoga teacher training with the renowned Cayetana Rodenas from Spain.

In addition to her yoga pursuits, Nadia holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology (Hons) from the University of Malta. Having graduated in 2007, her academic focus included a study on the lived experiences of individuals with facial disfigurement in Malta.

In 2013, Nadia's dedication to academic excellence culminated in her graduation with distinction from her Masters in HR Management and Business. Attending Aston University in Birmingham, UK, she was honoured with the prestigious BGS award recognizing her as a high achiever in her field.

Nadia established her long-standing career working in high-positions within the HR field. This background uniquely positions her to address a wide range of issues faced by individuals, ranging from workplace-related challenges such as sedentary lifestyles or heavy-lifting concerns to more complex issues like addiction and terminal health conditions.

Her experience as a former National Team member of gymnastics combined with her current training provides her with a holistic understanding, from a biopsychosocial perspective, of the challenges encountered by athletes. This background enriches her approach to yoga therapy, allowing her to tailor interventions that address the unique needs of athletes and non-athletes alike.

To date, Nadia has worked with diverse clients in yoga therapy, including individuals grappling with conditions as Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, substance rehabilitation, musculoskeletal injuries, trauma, epilepsy, and anxiety, among others. The feedback from her clients is consistently positive, underscoring her commitment to providing effective and compassionate support on their healing journeys.

"My personal experience, as a chronic condition sufferer with Nadia, has been a very positive one. The level of professionalism and attention to detail she provides are exceptional, and the sessions have been so far very helpful in maintaining my health. She works to find the perfect balance in exercise, where the desired body stimulation and workout is attained while avoiding strain, which is necessary in my case, due to my condition.

She creates an atmosphere of peace and calmness, where deep focus can be reached, and she is always attentive to my mental and physical state at every moment of the session, working with that to attain the maximum benefit out of each session.”

"Yoga with Nadia has helped me heal much faster and has also alleviated the pain in my rib area and my body as a whole. Working with Nadia has been comfortable as I built trust in her to help me with stretching and therapeutic movements, even in moments that became daunting and scary, as was the case with my broken rib.

Nadia has always shown a great deal of professionalism. The individual attention given to me in each session, and the fact that she meticulously ensures no detail is overlooked, have helped me throughout the period of healing my rib and continue to assist me through Crohn's as well."

- Rib fracture and Crohn's client

"Nadia has been a source of support for my daughter, who initiated sessions a couple of months ago amidst the challenges of epilepsy and medication changes. The time spent with Nadia has proven beneficial, equipping my daughter with coping mechanisms and a sense of relaxation after each session.
