About Nabila

Originally from India, Nabila was born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As a child, she had two role models — her paediatrician and Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar — and enjoyed playing sports like basketball, cricket, football, and volleyball. She even dressed up as a doctor for costume parties!

Nabila decided to follow her passion for healthcare and sports and pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Physiotherapy from Manipal University in India. As part of her clinical rotations, she volunteered at a special school for toddlers and teenagers which sparked her interest and love for working with children. During her summer holidays, she volunteered for orthopaedic paediatric camps, providing free physiotherapy aid and education to underprivileged children in Maharashtra. To further her knowledge, she went to England and pursued a Master’s Degree in Neurological Rehabilitation from Keele University, then returned to India to start her private practice. For two years, Nabila provided home physiotherapy for children and adults with neuromotor disabilities. She then moved to Dubai where she worked in a multidisciplinary team within an Early Intervention Unit for the Dubai Health Authority for three and half years.
