About Me
HEY THERE. I’M RANA.
I’ve always been curious about people, what shapes us, what gets in our way, and what helps us move forward.
My path to becoming a coach grew from that curiousity, and also from my own life experiences. I’ve learned firsthand that meaningful change rarely happens all at once. It often begins with greater awareness, a different perspective, and the choices we make from there.
Today, as an ICF Professional Certified Coach, I help people navigate challenges, understand themselves more deeply, and find ways forward that feel right for them.
GROWING UP IN A WAR ZONE
I grew up during the war in Beirut, surrounded by uncertainty and conflict from a very young age. My family eventually left Lebanon, first for Cyprus and then Greece, before I made the decision at 20 to leave my home and family, and move to the United States.
Those experiences shaped me in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time. They taught me about resilience, uncertainty, starting over, and how much of what we carry isn’t always visible on the outside.
I’ve seen life at some of its hardest, but I’ve also developed a deep appreciation for its beauty. And although the United States is where I settled, I’ll always be a Mediterranean girl at heart.
MY LESSONS
My own life hasn’t been a straight path. I’ve struggled with anxiety, fear, self-doubt, weight, and habits that weren’t serving me. For a long time, I knew I wanted things to feel different, but I didn’t know how to make that change.
I started small. One choice led to another, and over time, those choices changed not only how I lived, but how I felt in my own life.
Looking back, I think of those years as living somewhat in black and white. As I began making changes, life started to feel fuller, more intentional, and more like my own.
LIVING IN FULL COLOR
Today, much further down on the path I set on, I’m also a mother of two, and more grateful than ever for the life I’ve built. Life will always bring challenges, but what has changed is how I meet them and the choices I make along the way.
Living in full color means being present for my life, appreciating what I have, making choices that reflect what truly matters to me.
I feel a deep sense of inner contentment, and I’m well at my core.
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 other people’s lives.
I’m fortunate to work with Blue World Foods Inc ., in joining them in their mission to offer the hope and guidance in healthy living for those struggling with chronic disease.
Ready to feel something different?
If something in my story or approach resonates with you, I’d love to hear what’s bringing you to coaching and what you’d like to be different.
Warmly,
Rana
