MRCGP, MBBS, BSc, DCH, DFSRH
Dr Nora qualified from the Royal Free and University College London medical school in 2006. She went on to complete her postgraduate GP training at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London in 2011, and continues to work as a GP as well as her role as a hormone specialist.
Nora’s main interests lie in the role of nutrition and lifestyle in health, alongside conventional evidence-based medicine. She has trained in functional medicine at the Institute of Functional Medicine in the USA and has done Lifestyle Medicine courses at Harvard University amongst others. She has also trained in Health Coaching and believes in working with her patients to identify their individual needs and create sustainable, holistic plans with them to optimise their wellbeing.
In 2016 Nora worked for two years in Toronto, Canada, in a clinic that specialized in sexual health and infectious diseases. She holds a diploma in Family Planning and Reproductive Health.
She is passionate about humanitarian health and has worked in Greece with Medecins sans Frontieres as well as volunteering in refugee camps in Lebanon. In her work as a GP, Nora has enjoyed treating patients at various stages in their lives. Her experience has led her to develop a particular interest in women’s health, and the role of hormonal balance in healthy aging and overall wellbeing. She has undertaken training in bioidentical hormones by Neill Roussier and worked at the London Hormone Clinic. Nora finds seeing the positive changes of treatment to her patients’ lives incredibly rewarding. She encourages her patients to understand and be fully engaged in their journey, and empower them to make the best decisions for their health.

valentina B16/03/2024I’ve been seeing Virma for a few years for IPL and more recently Morpheus 8 treatments. She is very professional and is always eager to make sure I’m comfortable during treatments and that I’m happy with the results. She’s also provided skin care advice. I highly recommend her!
Rami16/03/2024Had powder brow top up with Laura in the clinic. The salon is lovely and all staff were really friendly. Laura is amazing - so much care and attention taken to giving me the perfect brows. Have seen Laura a few times for top ups and every time - absolutely amazing!!
Alexandra MacDonald15/03/2024Virma, my Canadian sister, is the best! She is so knowledgeable, I absolutely trust her with all my treatments. She really understands what is suited to my skin, provides me with great results and is just a fantastic person. I am so glad I found Virma and I couldn’t be happier with my Morpheus8 results!
Nada Al-Nahi23/02/2024Raluca was very gentle and made my Morpheus 8 experience relaxing! The numbing cream worked well and she talked me through what she was doing. Very knowledgeable, professional and genuinely wants the best results for her clients. Thank you :)
Kleona Shehu10/02/2024I had a facial with Raluka. She was professional and took care of me at the clinic. Once she finished my facial, there was a lovely change of glow on my face! My face felt firm and healthy - I am very pleased and happy with the service. Highly recommend. :)
Nicole Dias08/02/2024I have had an amazing experience with Dr Shahd, she is kind, patient, understanding and very professional. She really took her time to listen to me and understand my concerns about my nose shape (which I did not think could be improved without invasive surgery) and gave me honest advice and feedback. I couldn't be happier with the results of my dermal filler, it was my first ever cosmetic treatment and Dr Shahd couldn't have made me feel more comfortable and at ease, I completely felt I was in good and safe hands! If you are considering having a cosmetic treatment done I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful clinic and specifically Dr Shahd.

Joanne White09/01/2024Welcoming throughout. No brows for four years post Chemo so took the plunge with micro blading ! What a difference, I absolutely love my new brows, felt completely listened to by Laura and the results are brilliant, I can’t quite believe how natural they are, thank you so much ! I’ve already recommended to a friend who will hopefully get new brows too!
