My Story: Bridging Systems & Souls, a journey of embodied transformation 

I’m Yara Al Adib, a Syrian-born, Belgium-based facilitator, coach, and designer. My path has taken me from the vibrant streets of Damascus to the innovative hubs of Europe, weaving together a rich tapestry of experiences in design, embodiment, and healing.
 

Roots in Creativity and Design:
With a Bachelor's in Graphic & Communication Design from the American University of Beirut and a Master's in Product-Service System Design from Politecnico di Milano, I began my career crafting user-centered solutions. My work in service design and social innovation taught me the power of empathy and the importance of systems thinking in creating meaningful change.

Entrepreneurship and Creation:
I’ve always found strength in being my own entrepreneur, my own creator. This journey has given me the flexibility to tap into my instincts and offer solutions that meet the needs of the market. In 2017, I founded From Syria With Love, a social enterprise that empowered Syrian women to use their culinary skills to create a sense of home here in Belgium. Running this initiative for several years was an invaluable learning experience, teaching me how to navigate complexity, manage people and projects, and most importantly, bring solutions from the people, to the people. Entrepreneurship has always been a way for me to directly address needs, pivot with flexibility, and innovate in ways that align with my core values. I will always encourage my friends and community to explore the power of entrepreneurship for their own personal growth and impact.
 

A Deep Dive into Healing and Embodiment:
Personal challenges led me inward, exploring the realms of trauma-informed coaching, somatic practices, and conscious movement. I trained in various modalities, including Hatha Yoga, Enrootment Method Bodywork, Consciousness Coaching, Family Constellation and Systemic work. These practices not only facilitated my healing but also became integral tools in my work with others.
 

Philosophy and Values:
I believe that true transformation arises from the integration of mind, body, and soul. My approach is holistic, combining analytical frameworks with embodied practices to support individuals and organisations in their journey toward authenticity and alignment. I value empathy, curiosity, and the courage to explore the unknown.
 

Offerings:

 

  • For Individuals: One-on-one coaching sessions, embodiment practices, and movement classes designed to foster self-awareness and personal growth.

  • For Groups: Workshops and retreats that blend systemic design principles with somatic experiences, fostering connection, clarity, and collective transformation.
     

 

Languages:
Fluent in Arabic and English, I offer sessions and workshops in both languages, ensuring accessibility and resonance across cultures.

Healing begins when we dare to see things as they are — without judgment, without masks.
Just the light of awareness gently touching what has long been hidden.
That moment of truth is where transformation begins...

 


يبدأ الشفاء عندما نجرؤ على رؤية الأمور كما هي من دون حُكم، من دون أقنعة
فقط نور الوعي يُلامس بلطف ما كان مخفيًا لزمن طويل
...تلك اللحظة من الصدق هي بداية التحوّل الحقيقي
