About Just Be

A conscious wellbeing space in Umm Suqeim, Jumeirah, home to seekers and teachers since 2016.

Our story

Wellbeing is deeply personal

Just Be was founded in 2016 by Nabila Ouanes, from a belief that wellbeing is deeply personal. She created a welcoming space where people could reconnect with themselves, discover different approaches, and receive guidance without being directed toward a prescribed path.

Over the years, Just Be has grown into a conscious wellbeing space bringing together yoga and meditation teachers, classes, private sessions, workshops and community gatherings. It is also a supportive home for teachers wishing to share their practice and connect with others.

Meet the founder

Nabila Ouanes

Nabila's approach is rooted in self-awareness and stillness. She believes that wellbeing begins by listening inward and choosing, with intention, the practices that support us.

For Nabila, wellbeing is not about becoming someone different. It is about reconnecting with the wisdom already within us and learning to live with greater awareness, authenticity and intention.

Through Nabila's Alchemy, she brings this philosophy to life through guided meditation and reflection in six stages, helping seekers bring more awareness into their everyday lives.
