Who is behind Sweet,Salty& Healthy?
Hi! I’m Marilla Maamoun, the face behind “Sweet Salty & Healthy”.Few facts about me; I’m half Syrian from my dad’s side, half British from my mum’s, born in the UK but brought up in Damascus, Syria.
As a child I loved sports, swimming in particular, I trained really hard under very difficult circumstances but managed to achieve something great, which was taking part in Sydney Olympics 2000.
I then moved on to the next chapter of my life, which was completing my Bachelors degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at The American University Of Beirut/Lebanon, followed by a Masters degree in Medical Nutrition at The University of Sheffield/UK.
I then undertook my one year practical training in one of Abu Dhabi’s prestigious hospitals (Sheikh Khalifa Medical City/Cleveland clinic) followed by me working for a Health centre that provided its clients with meal plans to accommodate their health needs whether it be weight management, diabetes, food allergies, heart disease etc.
Following that I joined a Health centre that provided its clients with meal plans to accommodate their health needs whether it is related to weight management, diabetes, food allergies, heart disease etc.
Years down the road after getting married and becoming a mother; my priorities have changed and I started spending more time at home with the children, but managed to complete my personal training certificate and a diploma in sports nutrition.
Being a mum of four is a full time job, but now that all my children are at school, and Covid is behind us I decided to start my online business to help people build their knowledge about food and improve their relationship with a healthy lifestyle.
