About Nahid Bakloo

Welcome to my corner of the web.

When Hands Move, the Mind Follows

We live in a world that celebrates speed.
But creativity asks for rhythm.
When you knit, your breath slows, your thoughts soften, and your body remembers what calm feels like.

Knitting and Craft, for me, is not an escape — it’s a return.
A return to motion, texture, patience, and presence.
It is the rhythm that rebuilt my focus after long years of holding too much — emotions, responsibilities, silence.
I'm Nahid Bakloo — a Stanford-trained nutritionist, EMCC Senior Practitioner in positive psychology, and lifelong maker of soft, slow things.

I’ve spent years helping people build healthier lives — not just through food or goals, but through meaningful, quiet choices that align with who they truly are.

Today, I offer more than advice. I offer stories, patterns, tools, and workshops for those looking to reconnect with what matters.My Journey

My Work as a Senior Practitioner

The Power of Craft

Making things with our hands restores something we rarely notice we’ve lost — a sense of agency.
Every stitch is a decision, every color a feeling translated into form.
Unlike the abstract world of screens and words, crafting gives emotions a body.
You can see progress. You can touch calm.

In times of uncertainty, creativity becomes an anchor.
It reminds us that transformation doesn’t require perfection — only participation.✨ What I Believe

• Health is more than a diet — it’s your relationship with life.

• Joy doesn’t need to be big — it just needs to be real.

• A stitch, a sentence, a small change can transform the way you carry your day.

• We don’t need more content — we need more contact with what’s honest, gentle, and handmade.

Why Knitting

Knitting is a meditation in motion.
The repetition trains attention, the texture stimulates memory, and the softness teaches compassion.
When you knit, you are literally weaving neurons in patterns of steadiness.
You don’t need to chase mindfulness — your hands already know the way.

My Work

I blend my background in positive psychology and creative practice to explore how making, crafting, and daily rituals help people reconnect with themselves.
Through my writing, workshops, and patterns, I share what I’ve learned:
that healing doesn’t always begin in the mind — sometimes, it begins with yarn.

A Gentle Invitation

Stay, read, knit, breathe.
This space is for anyone who believes that making things can also remake us.
