Today we’d like to introduce you to Muna Abu Awad.
Muna, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
As I was growing up, I remember shadowing my dad, who is a medical doctor overseas, as he worked tirelessly to provide medical care to refugees. I knew at that time that I wanted a career where I could make an impact and be of service to others. Fast forward, during my college years, I was inflicted by chronic digestive issues. Pain landed me in the ER multiple times. It made my day to day functioning so challenging. I had countless visits with doctors and specialists. The solution was given on a copy of the paper with some generic recommendations, pain medications, and a five minute rushed conversation at best. The pain and desperation for feeling helpless is where my career has turned around. After receiving my Bachelor’s in Human Nutrition, I started training in functional and holistic medicine that focuses on natural solutions and nutrition as the foundation of health. That was a pivotal time in my life as I was able to remedy a lot of the digestive issues I was suffering from. After a decade of working in a clinical and corporate environment, I decided to leave it all behind and started Wellness With Muna. The sole purpose of doing so is to provide health coaching services that give the opportunity for the client to be heard and cared for. Most importantly, to provide them with natural solutions that can free them from needless pain and anguish.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has its up’s and down’s. Being self-employed is a completely different mindset that I had not experienced before I started Wellness With Muna. The school did not prepare me for this. I learn as I go, and I continue learning every day. When life throws me a curveball, I work on my response to it and transform it into a growth opportunity. There is no better feeling than hearing how impactful my services are on my client’s quality of life, and that is what keeps me going.
Please tell us about your practice.
Wellness With Muna is a virtual health coaching practice. The flexibility of coaching from anywhere reduces obstacles such as driving time and undo stress on my clients. After all, chronic stress is one of the factors that contribute to subpar health.
I am a Digestive Health Nutritionist helping individuals with gut distress eliminate chronic bloat, abdominal cramps, and gut imbalances. Additionally, I work with clients to improve blood sugar imbalances, chronic inflammation, energy levels, elevated lipids and weight. My commitment to my client is to listen attentively, empower, collaborate and provide individualized plans that are impactful and unique to that person.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Compassion, empathy, and perseverance are at the center of my success.
