Reclaiming Body Sovereignty
You are warmly invited...
Amal Ismail returns to Jordan with a more advanced and intimate clinical immersion — expanding on her previous work with deeper insights into Clinical PNI, trauma-informed care, and integrative women’s health.
For the first time in Jordan, she will be joined by internationally recognized menopause consultant and BHRT expert Herpreet Lotay, leading a clear, evidence-based conversation on bio-identical hormone therapy in perimenopause and menopause.
The experience is further enriched by Zeena Ismail’s somatic trauma resolution work, bringing a nervous-system informed, body-based approach to healing and cyclical regulation.
This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in how women’s health is addressed in our region — grounded in science, informed by culture, and led by women.
This is not a general wellness seminar.
This is a clinically informed, deeply integrated women’s health immersion.
Meet Your Guides
A collaborative effort to bring decolonised, female-centered health education to our region.

Amal Ismail
Lead Educator - Clinical PNI & Functional Medicine Practitioner
Amal Ismail is a Clinical Psychoneuroimmunologist (cPNI) and functional medicine practitioner, mother, and life-long student of the body's wisdom and innate intelligence. Her work explores the complex biological networks that shape human health — integrating systems biology, evolutionary medicine, and trauma-informed care to understand how the body adapts to life’s experiences.
Her journey from pharmaceutical consultant to systems-based health practitioner reflects a profound shift in perspective: from managing disease to understanding the biological conditions that allow health to emerge.
Amal’s clinical work draws on several complementary disciplines that explore the interconnected nature of the body’s regulatory systems. Trained in cPNI, functional medicine, cellular medicine, and trauma-informed care, her work blends science, compassion, and context.
Amal’s perspective is also shaped by her cultural heritage and the understanding that health does not exist in isolation from the environments, histories, and social systems we inhabit. Her work embraces a decolonised approach to health — recognising that human biology is profoundly influenced by context, culture, environment, and intergenerational experience. This perspective challenges the one-size-fits-all frameworks that often dominate modern healthcare, instead restoring space for individual context, cultural knowledge, and the lived experiences that shape physiology over time.

Farah Mawla
Preventative Health Strategist & Wellness Community Founder
Farah Mawla is a public health practitioner and wellness advocate with a background in Biology and a Master’s in Public Health focused on Maternal and Child Health. Her work over the past two decades has centered on improving health and well-being through community programs, women’s health initiatives, and preventive approaches across the Middle East and internationally.
Her most profound learning has come not only from her professional work, but from her own personal healing journey — one that led her to explore the powerful connections between hormones, gut health, emotional well-being, and the rhythms of everyday life. Through this journey, Farah discovered that true health is not only about information, but about awareness, compassion, and learning to listen to our bodies with curiosity rather than judgment.
Today, Farah brings together scientific knowledge and lived experience to create spaces where conversations about health become empowering rather than overwhelming. She is passionate about helping people feel more informed, empowered, and confident in caring for their well-being.

Zeena Ismail
Somatic Trauma Resolution Practitioner
Zeena is a Somatic Trauma Resolution Practitioner with a depth of training in the female nervous system, systemic trauma, and Compassionate Inquiry with Gabor Maté. Her work moves away from pathologizing the body, grounded in the understanding that the body is never broken. Instead, it invites meeting every symptom, ailment, behavioural pattern, or season of womanhood with the knowledge that the body is always adapting in service of safety. She supports people in developing a relationship with their internal experience where nervous system flexibility returns, trauma cycles complete, habitual survival patterns to soften, and new choices become possible. This approach restores a relationship with the body rooted in rhythm, agency, desire, and possibility rather than in discipline and control. At its core she believes that how we are in our bodies ultimately shapes what we make possible in the world around us.

Herpreet Lotay
Menopause Consultant and Educator
Herpreet is a Menopause Consultant Pharmacist and Founder of Lotay Wellness, specialising in evidence-based, personalised menopause care. She combines advanced clinical expertise with current research and whole-person support to help women navigate perimenopause and menopause with clarity, confidence, and informed choice.
Her approach challenges the normalisation or dismissal of symptoms and instead focuses on understanding what the body is communicating through hormonal change. Physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms are explored through a rigorous clinical lens, grounded in the latest evidence and tailored to each individual.
Through comprehensive assessment, personalised care planning, and ongoing review, Herpreet supports women in making informed decisions about their health. Her work may include lifestyle optimisation, education, and expert guidance on treatment options, including HRT and non-hormonal alternatives, always guided by safety, effectiveness, medical history, and personal goals.
She believes women deserve clear information, collaborative care, and treatment that is both scientifically robust and deeply respectful of lived experience. By combining pharmacological expertise with compassionate support, she empowers women to move through hormonal transition with greater understanding, stability, and confidence in their health.
At the heart of her practice is a commitment to long-term wellbeing, supporting not just symptom management, but sustainable health for the years ahead.

Why This Matters Now
Deep intergenerational Stories
Women across our region carry deep intergenerational stories shaped by resilience, migration, sociopolitical upheaval, and chronic stress. This work honours those stories and recognises how we carry this and live within our bodies today.
Reclaiming Women's Biological Wisdom
Our biological design is cyclical, adaptive, and intuitive - yet it has rarely been honoured in mainstream healthcare. This experience restores connection to the body as a source of wisdom rather than a problem to fix.
A Movement Beyond Healthcare
This isn't just another seminar. It's a movement to decolonise women's health and reclaim our bodies as sites of wisdom, sovereignty, and political liberation.

What You'll Experience

What Makes This Experience Revolutionary
This is not another women’s health workshop.
For decades, women’s health has largely been approached through fragmented lenses — hormones treated separately from the nervous system, emotional health separated from physiology, and symptoms often addressed in isolation.
This experience introduces a more integrated framework for understanding the female body.
One that recognises that hormones are shaped by the interaction between the immune system, nervous system, metabolism, and environment.
Throughout the seminar, we explore women’s health through five complementary lenses:
Understanding how the brain, immune system, metabolism, and endocrine system communicate — and how stress, safety, inflammation, and environment influence hormonal rhythms.
Looking beyond diagnostic labels to understand the root patterns influencing symptoms such as PMS, fatigue, fertility challenges, and perimenopausal changes.
Exploring how the nervous system stores and processes experience, and how body-based practices can support regulation, resilience, and hormonal balance.
Providing a clear, evidence-informed understanding of when hormone therapy may be appropriate, how it differs from conventional approaches, and how it can be safely personalised.
Recognising that women in our region carry unique histories shaped by migration, social pressures, and intergenerational stress — all of which influence health.
Rather than seeing symptoms as isolated problems, this seminar introduces a framework that helps women understand how their biology, life experience, and environment interact.
The goal is not simply to provide answers, but to offer a language and perspective that allows women to better understand their bodies and advocate for their health.
Your Journey into
Body Sovereignty
Thursday-Friday, April 23-24, 2026
Once you register, you will gain access to our private Circle community — a dedicated learning and reflection space for all participants.
Here we will introduce the core frameworks behind the seminar:
What psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) actually means for your health
How hormones, the immune system and nervous system communicate
The foundations of functional medicine, somatic therapy, and BHRT
You will begin reflecting on your own body through guided prompts and short learning materials.
You’ll begin to understand:
Why hormone symptoms are rarely just “hormone problems”
How stress, inflammation and safety shape your biology
The deeper patterns behind symptoms many women experience
Week 2 Recognising Patterns – Mapping your Body.
This week focuses on awareness.
You will be guided through simple reflection exercises that help you start noticing:
Your hormone patterns and symptoms
Nervous system states (stress, shutdown, resilience)
Energy rhythms across the day and month
Possible metabolic and inflammatory signals
You will begin to see your symptoms not as random disruptions, but as messages from a system trying to adapt.
Many participants begin recognising connections they had never considered before.
Week 3 Understanding Your Biology – Preparing for the Experience.
Before the seminar, we will share optional guidance on laboratory testing and health markers for those who wish to explore their physiology further.
You’ll learn:
Which blood markers can offer insights into hormone and metabolic health
How cPNI and functional medicine interpret common lab tests differently
How immune, metabolic and nervous system health influence hormone balance
This preparation allows you to arrive at the workshop with deeper context about your own body.
Week 4 Reclaiming Body Sovereignty Seminar – The Live Experience.
Over two immersive half-days, you will explore women’s health through a new lens.
Together we will examine:
Hormone health through psychoneuroimmunology and evolutionary medicine
The role of the nervous system and trauma in hormonal rhythms
When and how bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) can be used safely
Why inflammation, metabolism and safety influence hormonal symptoms
Through storytelling, science and experiential practices, you will begin to see your body as an intelligent ecosystem rather than a collection of problems.
Integration & Support – After the Workshop.
The journey continues after the event.
Inside the Circle community we will host a post-workshop integration Q&A where you can ask deeper questions and clarify what you learned.
You will also receive:
Follow-up educational resources
Key concepts and frameworks from the seminar
Guidance on next steps if you wish to explore your health further
By the end of this experience, most women leave with something they didn’t have before:
A clear framework for understanding their hormonal health
Language to advocate for themselves in healthcare settings
Recognition of patterns between stress, symptoms and biology
Clarity around BHRT and other therapeutic options
Tools to regulate the nervous system and support hormonal balance
But perhaps most importantly:
A different relationship with their body.
Limited spots available to maintain intimate experience quality. Don't miss this opportunity to join a movement of women reclaiming their health on their own terms.

From Discipline to Devotion
This is more than a workshop — it's the beginning of a new relationship with your body, your health, and your sovereignty.
"Somatics changed my life. After suffering for long, I am finally able to unpack the suppressed emotions, feelings, memories. It taught me how to connect with my body, shifting from feeling stuck in one emotion to moving to another. I went from feeling unsafe in my body to gradually bringing safety, allowing myself to enjoy the simplest things, even while there is still pain. It taught me how to allow and accept joy, because healing isn't just about what feels unpleasant.
It allowed me to overcome obstacles, break old patterns, get off meds, I now have tools for when I have a panic or anxiety attack. I can ride a wave of emotions without totally collapsing. it taught me that healing can never be done from a place of force and pushing: it's done slowly and gently" - Samar (working with Zeena)
"I was post menopausal with my general health seemingly spiralling in the wrong direction. After conventional medicine leading me down a path of repeated antibiotics and steroids to address a chronic sinus problem (with subsequently no relief) I was recommended this functional medicine course. With the caring support of Amal and her team my life was transformed. Stress, sleep quality, breathing, digestion, allergies and my energy level were vastly improved even after the first month. I have learnt a lot of important information on how to live healthier and am now fully motivated to keep up the lifestyle and better health recommendations.
Thank you for everything!" - Sharon
"In 2021, I completely lost myself. I was struggling with my weight, hormonal disorders and severe depression.
Now, months later, I feel like myself again. I am more confident, happier, and in much better health. It hasn’t always been easy, and I’m still on the path - but for me, my health is a priority.
With the support of Amal and her team, there have been incredible changes and achievements. I am extremely happy with the progress I have made, and I don't have enough words to express my gratitude. You have helped to change my life. A huge thank you Amal, Karen and Simone for everything.
Thank you for giving me the tools to take control of my health and the extra boost when I need it." - Neli
