Nahid de Belgeonne

Nahid de Belgeonne is an author, somatic strategist and founder of The Human Method™. As an Associate Somatic Movement Practitioner at Harbor, she brings more than two decades of experience helping people understand the relationship between their body, behaviour and wellbeing.

With more than two decades of somatic and movement practice, informed by study in applied nervous system science, Nahid brings a rare lens to understanding how the body adapts to stress, responsibility, uncertainty and difficult life experiences, not as pathology to fix, but as intelligence to work with. 

It’s an approach rooted in deep respect for the body’s capacity to learn, adapt and reorganise. Each session is unique, tailored to the exact needs of the client.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, Nahid helps clients uncover the hidden relationship between stress and physical tension, anxiety and anticipation, burnout and chronic responsibility, trauma and adaptation and behavioural patterns and nervous system responses.

Professional Background & Qualifications

Nahid trained as a Feldenkrais teacher between 2018 and 2020. The Feldenkrais Method uses gentle movement to help people become more aware of their movement, so they can find easier ways to move.

Before that, in 2011, she completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training course with The Yoga Academy, accredited by the British Wheel of Yoga.

Since then, her practice has centred on somatic education and on helping people regulate their nervous systems. Part of this involves building body literacy, the ability to read and understand the body’s signals.

Healthcare Leadership & Experience

Nahid supports clients recovering from burnout, including those whose bodies are under heavy strain even as they continue to perform well.

In sessions, she teaches clients about the nervous system and leads them through structured somatic movement. This helps them recognise when they are holding tension or starting to shut down.

She also uses Feldenkrais and yoga, along with rhythm-based practices that use repeated movement or sound to settle the nervous system. Over time, clients become more aware of how their bodies respond to stress, and they gradually rebuild their ability to cope.

Approach to Care

Nahid’s starting point is the body. Through movement and awareness, she shows clients how long-term stress can shape the way they hold themselves and react.

She is less interested in quick relief than in lasting change. Her aim is to help clients feel safer and steadier in themselves, using practices they can build into their lives a little at a time.
