About Me
HEY THERE. I’M RANA.
I’m an ICF Professional Certified Coach dedicated to helping clients overcome challenges, develop resilience, build healthier habits, achieve personal development, and improve their overall mental wellbeing.
I’ll work closely with you in providing personalized coaching, creating a supportive and non-judgmental space, and implementing strategies for positive change. I’m committed to supporting you in reaching your goals.
My path to becoming a coach is rooted in my own personal struggles with anxiety, stress, weight loss, unhealthy habits, self-doubt, and fears which led me to explore different methods of overcoming them. After years of both studying and practice, I finally found a balanced approach that significantly improved my quality of life. This inspired me to become a coach and share what I learned with others.
GROWING UP IN A WAR ZONE
I have a somewhat unique background. I grew up in the war in Beirut, surrounded by the devastation of human conflict. After witnessing years of atrocities, my family and I sought refuge first in Cyprus, then Greece.
Overcoming fears and anxieties about leaving both my homeland and my family, I made the decision to move to the US when I was 20. And although it has been a wonderful decision, I will always be a Mediterranean girl at heart (hence the photo above!). Growing up in that part of the world taught me a deep appreciation for life and a great way of living; the proven benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
I’ve lived and seen a lot - the best and worst of humanity. And I’m grateful for every moment because it’s brought me to where I am, and shaped the person I am today. My background has given me a unique insight into people and life itself.
MY LESSONS
Anxiety, fear, weight struggles, and damaging habits have undermined my life for as long as I can remember. I eventually reached a point where I could not keep surviving in the same toxic cycle. I began making small changes at first, which gradually led to bigger ones. I felt like I was finally moving on from my black and white life, into a life in full color.
The people I met along this road and the lessons I’ve learned have been priceless. Sometimes, a simple comment, a few words, can have a profound impact on the soul. Two examples that have resonated strongly with me are: “There’s never going to be a right time,” and “Life begins outside your comfort zone.” Few words, yet with an enormous impact.
LIVING IN FULL COLOR
And now, much further down the path I had set out on, I’m more grateful than ever. Today, I’m also a wife and a mother of two. Life will always bring challenges, obstacles, and difficulties. But now, I have the tools and the mindset to face and overcome them.
I now understand that I have a choice - I can live in black and white, or I can embrace life in full color. I feel a deep inner contentment that all of us long for, and I’m well at my core. I would love to help you find that sense of wellbeing too.
GIVING BACK
Helping others and giving back has always been deeply ingrained in me. Ever since I was younger, I have sought out opportunities to help make a difference in others people’s lives.
I’m fortunate to have been offered an opportunity to volunteer with Blue World Foods Inc . I have accepted a position as VP of Programs, and am joining them in their mission to offer the healthiest soup ever-created, curated by a Michelin-starred Chef, and Health Coaching, to those in need, free of charge.
