Mona’s wellness journey began in 2010 strictly through meditation and eventually progressed to a physical yoga practice in 2012.
After experiencing intense anxiety, Mona reverted to meditation to help calm the mind and nervous system. She had no clue this would be the stimulant that would lead her to become a wellness entrepreneur and mental health professional. Meditation transformed her life by introducing present-moment awareness which is the root to her counseling, coaching, and integrative services.
