Manal AlMusallam
Manal AlMusallam is an award-winning trainer, author, and one of the leading pioneers of conscious breathing and personal transformation in the Middle East. She is the founder and creator of the Nesmah™ Method, a scientific and holistic breathwork system designed for all cultures and belief systems. Although originally written in Arabic, the method is taught in both Arabic and English, offering a comprehensive, practical, and non-spiritual approach to emotional and physical well-being. Nesmah™ integrates evidence-informed tools, somatic awareness, and accessible lifestyle practices, making it a balanced and inclusive system suitable for diverse communities.
With more than 27 years in human development since 1996 and 17 years specializing in breathwork since 2009, Manal has trained thousands across the Arab world and established the region’s first professional breathwork school. Her teaching is known for its depth, clarity, and compassion, offering a gentle yet powerful experience of emotional integration and self-realization.
Manal previously served as Head of Training and Level 4 Senior Trainer for the Transformational Breath Foundation (TBF) in the Middle East, where she trained and supervised facilitators across multiple countries. She translated all official TBF materials into Arabic and played a pivotal role in expanding structured breathwork education in the region. Through her leadership, she helped establish a strong professional community and opened new pathways for breathwork programs across different countries.
After years of contribution to the international breathwork field, Manal continued her path independently and founded the Nesmah™ Method breathwork school — an ethically grounded, science-informed, and culturally sensitive system that supports emotional regulation, somatic release, and holistic well-being.
Her humanitarian work has received notable recognition. She was named an “Arab Hope Maker” in 2018 and was honored by Kuwait’s national youth program KAFO on Kuwait Television in March 2025, receiving recognition from His Highness the Amir of Kuwait for her inspiring community impact and humanitarian work.
Manal’s personal story has been featured in Kuwait’s national English curriculum for public schools (Grade 8) since 2018 as an example of resilience and positive change. She has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs across Kuwait, the UAE, and Bahrain, and has been invited by ministries, universities, private companies, and the Faculty of Dentistry to speak about breathwork, stress, and emotional balance.
Renowned for her warm presence, strong organization, and ability to lead large groups with ease and grace, Manal’s trainings and retreats are consistently fully booked — reflecting the trust, credibility, and deep connection she has built with her community.
Through her breathwork school and wellness platform Breath of Joy, Manal continues to inspire and educate individuals across the Arab world and beyond, helping people live with clarity, inner balance, and purpose.
She is an NLP Master Practitioner, holds a Diploma in Hypnosis, a Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counseling, and is a certified TFT Practitioner and Advanced Silva Method Practitioner.
She is also a Professional Member of the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF), IPHM Accredited, and a Member of the CPD Certification Service.
