Calm & Nourish: From Healing to Helping (Part Two)

Calm & Nourish is the next step in my journey—moving from personal healing to helping other women restore balance, energy, and confidence.

After years of learning, healing, and rebuilding my own health, I began to see how deeply connected everything is — our body, mind, emotions, and environment. It became clear that true wellbeing isn’t just about eating the “right” foods; it’s about understanding ourselves, slowing down, and giving our bodies the care and space they need to restore balance.

This realisation became the foundation for Calm & Nourish — my signature approach and the heart of my work today.

Why I Created Calm & Nourish

Every woman’s story is different, which is why I combine nutrition and wellbeing coaching to look at the whole person. Together, we explore not just what’s on your plate, but what’s on your mind and in your daily life.

We uncover the underlying causes of symptoms such as:

  • Chronic bloating, fatigue, and histamine-related reactions
  • Hormonal imbalance and irregular digestion
  • Burnout and anxiety from ongoing stress
  • Food sensitivities and low energy cycles

When we understand our bodies, we gain the power to support them

The Calm & Nourish Philosophy

The name Calm & Nourish came from what I most needed during my own recovery: calm for my mind, and nourishment for my body. Both are essential for healing.

My approach is rooted in three key principles:

  1. Understanding: Explore your symptoms and patterns so you can understand what your body truly needs.
  2. Nourishment: Food is medicine — focus on abundance, real, vibrant, healing foods.
  3. Balance: Build a lifestyle that supports calm — reduce stress, support your nervous system, reconnect with yourself.

These principles form the foundation of my 1:1 Calm & Nourish programmes, meeting you where you are — whether you’re just starting to make changes or ready for deep transformation.

Supporting Women to Thrive

I feel so grateful to help women who remind me of where I once was — busy, driven, caring deeply for others, but disconnected from their own needs. Watching them find clarity, energy, and confidence again is the most rewarding part of my work.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, self-compassion, and creating space for healing.

When women begin to listen to their bodies, nourish themselves properly, and manage stress in a gentler way, they start to rediscover their vitality — and often, their joy for life.

Your Next Step

If my story resonates with you, and you’re ready to start understanding your body on a deeper level, you can explore how we can work together through my Calm & Nourish programmes here.

Because you deserve to feel well — not just to get through the day, but to thrive in every part of your life

When Symptoms Surge: The Moment My Body Demanded Surrender

Over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced a season that unexpectedly brought stress, overwhelm, after experiencing a new symptoms due to physical changes to my body. This brought a deep need to slow down and reconnect with my body. As someone who supports women with nervous system dysregulation, histamine intolerance, and chronic digestive issues, this experience reminded me — once again — that healing is not linear. Listening to our bodies, honouring our limits, and creating space for rest aren’t weaknesses; they’re essential parts of recovery and wellbeing. I’m sharing my reflections in case you’ve also been moving through a challenging phase and need a reminder that you’re not alone.

Low histamine Coconut Chicken Curry

No tomatoes, No chili, Plenty of Flavour!!

This is my go to recipe for when I`m craving Indian food.
Coming from an Indian background it`s been difficult for me to not be able to enjoy the Indian food I used to . Especially on family gatherings and special occasions. Chili and tomatoes are high histamine and contained in most Indian foods.

This is one curry I can enjoy that has all the flavours, from coriander, cumin, turmeric, garlic and ginger.

Importantly, these herbs and spices are anti inflammatory and anti histamine. They support a healthy immune system , support the breakdown on histamine and taste delicious.

I can enjoy it and not worry about the consequences. it`s a win win.
I also enjoy red lentil daal curry , another recipe I have adapted and made at home. if you`d like the recipe for this please comment below RECIPE and I`ll share it.

Also, I have a low histamine recipe book where I share all my favourite delicious recipes, that remove the fear from cooking and provide the right nutrients for your body so you don`t have to worry about restriction.

Start your day stress-free, nourish your gut, and set the tone for calm energy. ✨

Mornings can make a huge difference when it comes to managing stress and supporting histamine intolerance. That’s why I’ve created a simple routine that helps me feel grounded, focused, and ready for the day—without triggering my gut.

Here’s a peek at my morning routine:
☀️ Gentle wake-up: Avoid rushing, take a few deep breaths before getting out of bed.
💧 Hydration first: A glass of water to support digestion and detox.
🧘‍♀️ Movement & mindfulness: Light stretching or a 5-minute meditation to calm the nervous system.
🥣 Nourishing breakfast: Foods that are gentle on my gut and balance histamine levels.
📓 Set intentions: A quick journaling moment to prioritize what matters and reduce overwhelm.

Starting my day like this helps me stay calmer, reduce histamine-related flare-ups, and feel more in control.

The Coffee Lie for Sensitive Women

You think coffee gives you energy. For the sensitive, reactive body, it`s a double-agent of sabotage.

My body doesn`t love coffee but I love the taste . So I can crave it from time to time. I feel it`s my kryptonite but something I wish wasn`t.

However, I realised it particularly affects me when my body is stressed

And here`s why:

🤯 It forces your body to dump stored histamine resulting in that instant headache, cough, heat.

🚫 It blocks your DAO enzyme, sealing the drain your body uses to clear histamine

Result: A guaranteed inflammatory crisis, brain fog, and a crash that makes you feel exhausted by 3 PM.

I experienced this after a stressful time travelling to a network meeting and feeling tired and stressed and my craving got the better of me.

So whatever Histamine my mast cells released from the previous stress I experienced (stress -> cortisol -> histamine), was unable to be broken down by DAO and cleared! The coffee itself is a stimulant and releases further cortisol into the body and this histamine bucket 🪣 is full, probably leaking!

I fortunately enjoyed the rest of the event and made some wonderful connections .
But the next few days I had to rest and rest and rest!

Lesson learnt:
You don`t need more stimulants. You need to listen to your body and work with it, not against it.
Yes cravings have another deeper layer that can be hard to break. However, understanding your body and how caffeine affects it may help make better choices that support your body in the long term.

If you`re ready to break this cycle and feel steady energy all day, follow me for the Calm & Nourish approach. You need to support your body so it`s less reactive, both inside and out.

🤯 The moment I understood why my body was collapsing.

For years, I thought my symptoms were just about FOOD. Cut dairy, cut gluten, cut histamine, take DAO... and still, the migraines hit, the anxiety flared, and the rashes appeared.

The secret? It’s not just a food issue.

Your body has a Histamine Bucket. When it overflows, you crash.

If you’re a sensitive, capable woman who feels fine until BAM—a crash hits—it’s because your STRESS TAP is running wide open. Your anxiety, overwhelm, and rushing trigger your immune system to dump histamine into the bucket.

❌ DAO supplements can`t stop the stress dump. ❌ Restricting more food won`t stop the anxiety flare.

You can`t supplement your way out of a nervous system problem. You need to turn off the stress tap.
If you’re tired of living in fear of your body, Comment "CALM" below and I`ll send you the direct link to book your free Calm and Nourish Clarity call.

✨ Feeling overwhelmed by bloating, fatigue, or anxiety that makes no sense?
Hi lovely souls, I’m Nissa — a Gut Health & Histamine Nutritionist 💛
Guided by intuition, calm energy, and a deep belief that sensitive women deserve to feel safe and grounded in their bodies again with gentle, nourishing guidance for their gut and body.

I help women who feel overwhelmed by:
🌸 Reactions
🌸 Bloating
🌸 Fatigue
🌸 Anxiety spikes
🌸 Symptoms that make no sense

…and I do it gently, without restriction, pressure, or burnout.

If you’re new here — welcome! 🌿
You’re in a caring, nurturing space.

I came into this work because I lived it.
I know what it’s like to be scared of symptoms, confused by your body, and endlessly searching for answers.
I’ve done the research, the healing, the inner work — and now I support women just like you to find clarity, calm, and confidence again.

I believe sensitive women need more than diet changes:
💫 We need energy work
💫 We need emotional regulation
💫 We need space to come home to ourselves, connect with our inner wisdom, and listen to what the body is really asking for

Your symptoms aren’t failures — they’re signals.
Messages from your body saying:

“I need support. I need gentleness. I need you.”

When you learn to nourish your body and mind, your whole system softens.

A little personal fact about me:
🍃 I’m happiest walking in nature with a warm decaf coffee in hand — it’s how I reset my energy.
👯‍♂️ And yes, I have a twin brother!
