MEET YOUR MENTOR

Hello, I’m Dr Nahal Habibi.
Also known as Dr Nelly.

After years in health research and university teaching, I bring that knowledge into personal work with people who want to feel and live better.

My background brings together health science, nutrition, behaviour change, professional coaching and healthy lifestyle mentoring. My neuroscience-informed approach considers how we learn habits, how familiar responses become automatic, and how we can practise different ways of responding. I’m interested in the person behind the habits: what matters to you, what you’ve already tried, and what makes change difficult in your everyday life.

Previously a Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, I now hold an academic appointment as a Visiting Lecturer at Adelaide University and continue supervising research students. My work also includes public health interventions and digital health tools.
