Welcome to Simply Zen Living!
Wellness That Heals. Recovery That Lasts.
I created Simply Zen Living as a space to explore healing, productivity, and everyday rituals that restore. Here, you’ll find practical tools rooted in science and soul, from cold therapy to conscious living. Let’s help your mind and body feel safe, strong, and supported.
About The Author
Hey there! I’m Naila, a registered nurse, wellness and recovery consultant, and the creator of Simply Zen Living, a space born from my journey to heal and live with intention.
After feeling stretched thin by modern life, I turned to practices like cold therapy, Pilates, light healing, and mindful routines to restore my energy and peace.
Now, I share those science-backed tools with others who are looking to reset, reconnect, and feel better from the inside out.
Thanks for being here. This space is for real people on real wellness journeys.
What Do I Cover At Simply Zen Living?
At Simply Zen Living, we focus on the parts of wellness that make a meaningful difference in real life, wellness and recovery, productivity, conscious living, and life and support.
These areas reflect just a portion of a broader wellness model known as the Eight Dimensions of Wellness, which outlines how different aspects of your life affect your overall well-being.
While we don’t dive into each of those dimensions here, this short video offers a helpful overview if you’re curious about the full picture of what wellness truly includes.
