I’m a certified fitness and wellness coach and the founder of RISEUP, with over 10 years of experience in personal development, healing, and building strength from the inside out. But more than the titles, I’m someone whose life was completely transformed through struggle, faith, and a decision to RISE.

My story isn’t one of shortcuts or easy wins. It’s about real transformation. I come from a self made family and took on adult responsibilities at a very young age, becoming a young wife, a young mother, a full time Master’s student, and a full time corporate employee all at once. I climbed the corporate ladder and led teams across the MENA region. But success came with stress, lack of boundaries, emotional disconnection, and eventually, deep personal loss.

I was silently falling apart. I felt stuck, between professional growth and wanting to be present for my family, between doing more and actually feeling fulfilled, between being a top achiever and carrying the pressure of everyone’s expectations.

I was at my highest externally, but I felt the most lost inside. I asked God for guidance: How can I feel weak at the peak of my success? His answer came through a pain I never saw coming.

During one of the most stressful periods of my life, I chose to grow my family, not wanting a big gap between my kids. But at four months, I lost the baby and nearly lost my life. That pain broke me open, but it also revealed my purpose. Doctors said future pregnancies would carry the same risk. It was heartbreaking, but it became the turning point. I realized God’s protection shows up even when we don’t understand it.

I turned to God, wanting to understand, and began healing from the inside out. I went away from stress and I showed up for myself by eating better, lifting weights, setting boundaries, and finding a strength I never knew I had.
