Since 2002 Nadia has facilitated well over 2000 international events, workshops, and trainings. She is known for her ability to clarify and simplify complex concepts, her ability to work with participant resistance and challenging dynamics, as well as her creative and bold arts-based designs. She is also known for her powerful diversity, inclusion and participatory practices. She loves to bring meaningful play to groups that are interested in creating powerful outcomes. She is a professional poet, performer and lyricist with a strong interest in musical improvisation, automatic drawing and authentic movement. She brings these all to her training and facilitation practices in an authentic and magnetic style, rich with imagination and humour.
She holds a Master’s degree in Education, with a focus on Imaginative Education and the use of metaphor in group leadership, and well as a diploma in Dialogue and Negotiation, and an advanced post-grad certificate in Expressive Art Therapy. Her current research is in Time and Temporality in group process. She has been fortunate to study and work alongside some of the world’s most cutting edge teachers, professors, trainers, artists and facilitators.
She is a queer, first generation, middle class, cis-gendered woman of Indian descent. She acknowledges that Canada sits on the ancestral and unfairly colonized territories of many Indigenous nations, who are the traditional stewards of its land and resources. She is a grateful settler and visitor there.
