Who am I?

I am first a mother of three children (not really children anymore). They are my inspiration and my life’s motivation.

I have a masters in Public Health (Health Promotion), a BA in Psychology and a Graduate Certificate in Education. I’ve been a passionate advocate for the inclusion of students with learning difficulties in schools. I’ve also published 27 children’s books in Arabic. 


My substack is my community service. It is also a trail of my thoughts and learning from life that I leave behind for my children so that when they are ready to listen to me, they will find them.

What do I write about?

I believe that improving one’s health is very simple. It’s about going back to basics.

NATURE. BALANCE. CONNECTION

I believe in human agency so I encourage people to take matters into their hands to change their world and their lives as they envision them.
