Nadia’s life looked like the ideal life from outside, but she grappled with helplessness for 44 years. But hitting rock bottom ignited a powerful discovery: her own strength, the power to shift perspective and act on choices available. Join her journey of healing beyond trauma, finding self-love, and taking control of your narrative. Be inspired to step forward and become your own victor. Nadia Jamil is an award winning British Pakistani actor, activist, who works and campaigns for children’s rights. She is also a certified NLP Master Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and TLT Practitioner.

Her popular acting and self-realization workshops have been designed for both the public and private, as well as the corporate sector. These workshops train actors, children, adults, and teachers in communication, deportment, self-realization, acting, elocution, expression, and self confidence. She also works in areas of conflict resolution, development, and public education, but her specialization is working on trauma in children.

Nadia has been working both as an actor and as a social activist in child protection for over 30 years now. She runs her practice and Mindfulness Centre, The Empty Space & Nadia Jamil’s Imaginarium and lives between Lahore, London and Twitter (X) with her family and hundreds of children and dogs.
