Interview with Dina Assaad
1. What inspired you to pursue your career?
​
After an unfortunate journey with my son , I became obsessed with his health , and mine. I wanted to be strong and healthy in order to stay by his side. I then enrolled in nutrition school and learned that as much as food is important for us, so are our primary foods such as relationships, spiritually, our home environment & much more. Finding the right balance has made me stronger & healthier from the inside and outside.
​
2. What is the best part about your job?
​
The best part of being a Health coach is listening to clients concerns, to their ups and downs in life . I truly find pleasure being there for them and helping them find their balance by switching to a healthier lifestyle. Digging down to the root cause of their Dis-ease is another thing that lights Up my soul :)
​
3. What difficulties have you endured to get to where you are today?
​
Nothing came too easy though, there were difficult times when I had to prioritize my time between my studies, my family and my clients. It is very stressful and time-consuming; So many times when I had to take a break from my courses in order to spend more time with my kids, but Balance is key !
​
4. What are your plans for the future?
​
As much I would have goals for the future , as much as I take it day by day . But my goal is to keep learning , educating myself and spreading awareness to people about the root cause of Dis-ease in the body; how what eat has an effect on our mind-body connection and how much our mind can influence the body !
5. What advice do you have for women across Dubai who are in pursuit of their dreams?
​
My advice; go and do it. No matter what you are passionate about , step up and do it ! Do whatever lights up your world! Dig deep down in your heart , what is it that you love mostly in life ? The moment you start accomplishing something is the moment when your whole well being changes , you will see life from a different perspective.
​
6. If you were stranded on a desert island for a week, what (or who) would you want to take along with you?
​
If I was on an island .. i wouldn’t mind being alone ! I love getting my own me time sometimes and this could Be an opportunity:) I’d surely fill up on healthy snacks & sunscreen !
