Haitham Khalid
Welcome to the heart of Health Deeply Rooted, where my story unfolds. With over two decades of diverse experience, my journey is a testament to a profound love for health, well-being, food, nature, and travel. I began as a culinary maestro, crafting gastronomic wonders at London’s famed restaurants after studying at Le Cordon Bleu.
But my calling transcended the kitchen, leading me to work in health and wellness, which started with studying Muay Thai in Thailand, then becoming a personal trainer and the architect of the innovative “Fitness with Food”concept, fusing teaching cooking, nutrition and fitness. Then, from my vibrant hometown of fun cold London, destiny’s course led me to sunny Qatar over a decade from culinary mastery to fitness and wellness coaching, my mission expanded as a project specialist at Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, supporting educational development programs and international youth festivals as part of Qatar’s 2022 FIFA World Cup legacy programme.
As this beautiful journey continues and as the founder of Health Deeply Rooted, my commitment is to teach & create an honest platform and community for wellbeing, health-retreats and wellness education.
