“At Bonded, we’re always looking for ways to improve our team’s wellbeing and performance, so partnering with Make Light Matter was a natural step for us. Their expertise in light nutrition has been genuinely eye-opening, and we’re proud to be the first-ever Light Nutrient Employer. The insights and practical solutions Neina provided have had a tangible impact on our workplace. From understanding how natural light affects our energy and focus to making simple yet effective changes in our environment, the results have been incredible. Make Light Matter has given us a fresh perspective on how we create a healthier and more energised workplace. I’d highly recommend their approach to any business prioritising employee wellbeing in a meaningful and science-backed way.” – Steve Underwood, Managing Director at Bonded

“Neina is an expert on her topic who shares her message with compassion, warmth and empathy. Her workshops are clear and concise while allowing plenty of time to reflect on her teaching and come away with a plan to feel the benefits of proper light nutrition. The session was a perfect mix of practical and easy to implement tips that you can add into your day to quickly feel the results. I’d recommend this session to anyone who is keen to learn how to support their wellbeing in a natural way and boost their energy levels at the same time. After attending Neina’s workshop a few weeks ago I made the decision to purchase a light box. I felt confident that I knew exactly how the light box would support my wellbeing and I followed Neina’s helpful guide on how to select the best light box for me and I’m already feeling the benefits of using it after only a couple of weeks.”
“I met Neina and instantly saw her heart for making things better, which is why we connected and started to work together. Whilst I coached her on making her dream with Make Light Matter come true, she taught me about Light nutrition. I was so thankful. Pretty quickly, I started to take actions in line with my new knowledge. I changed my office space to a different place in my home with better light, and re-looked at my lamps. The impact was so important to both my wellbeing and my performance. It’s great to know Neina and support her to help people understand and meet their light nutrition goals. It’s great to start to meet my own light nutrition needs too.” – Lili Boyanova
“Clearly presented with the right amount of background info. Completing the workbook helped me to identify some of the seasonal patterns in my behaviour and health. Lots of takeaways and some practical steps that will stick with me.”
“I found it helpful to understand more about why we need light and how it can benefit us at certain times. The practical strategies were very useful too. Understanding more helps me to show myself more compassion and do things to support myself.”
“It was helpful to learn some of the science behind light, understanding what my body needs, and understanding different opinions, perceptions, and ideas about improvements/mindsets to help me frame my understanding better.”
“Clear content, practical examples and plenty of opportunity for self-reflection.”
“I enjoyed all of it. Made me think about light differently. I had a really bad Vitamin D deficiency last year and it’s made me realise how important light is.”
Speaking
“Neina provided an invaluable contribution to the Living with SAD: Wintering Well public engagement event that we organised at the University of Glasgow in October 2023. Her enthusiasm for the relevance and importance of light in our lives drew on insights she could offer from her own personal and professional experience. This made for a highly engaging and informative presentation with clear advice and practical tips for audience members, such as how to approach self-advocacy in the workplace. We have enjoyed working with Neina to think about how we can facilitate more light-aware and supportive social environments for the public, and we would highly recommend her for like-minded discussions and workshops elsewhere.” – Professor Hester Parr, University of Glasgow
