From Tech Boss to Wellness Queen: Rima Faour’s Bold Journey
Rima Faour is not your average entrepreneur. Based in the UAE, she is redefining success by walking the fine line between the fast-paced world of technology and the peaceful rhythm of wellness. A dynamic businesswoman, devoted mother, and Pilates enthusiast, Rima’s life is the ultimate example of how passion and purpose can coexist with professional ambition.
Known on Instagram as @rimafaourz, Rima has created a platform that is not just about movement—but about meaningful connection, inward reflection, and supporting others in their personal growth journey.
From Corporate Success to Wellness Trailblazer
Rima’s journey began in the tech industry, where she built a strong foundation and grew a successful career. Her natural talent for strategy, innovation, and leadership quickly placed her in leading roles. Yet, while climbing the corporate ladder, her own health journey began to shift her perspective.
“My own health has been the main driver for my dual career,” she shares. “While gaining success and growing in the corporate world has been leading my career path, I turned my hobby into a side business too.”
That hobby—fitness and wellness—soon became much more. As she pursued health and healing for herself, Rima realized she could bring value to others by creating a space for mindful movement and connection.
A Wellness Platform with a Deeper Purpose
For Rima, the wellness space wasn’t just about getting fit. It was about building something meaningful.
“I entered the wellness world in search of a bigger purpose that touches and inspires others to move more but also move better,” she says. “I wanted to create a platform for people to work out but also connect inwards in a supportive and like-minded community.”
Through this vision, she built a wellness business that integrates the physical and emotional aspects of self-care. From Pilates sessions to holistic wellness guidance, her offerings help people find balance in a busy world.
Balancing Two Careers and Motherhood
While most would find it difficult to juggle one full-time role, Rima manages two—alongside being a mother to two young daughters. And for her, family is at the heart of everything.
“Career and business have been one way I look at my success in life,” she explains. “But building a family and raising two daughters is my hugest accomplishment.”
Her ability to balance both career and personal life is a testament to her strength, discipline, and unwavering sense of purpose.
Breaking Free from the 9-to-5 Mentality
Like many entrepreneurs, Rima faced challenges when stepping away from a traditional job structure. The biggest shift was mental: adjusting from a fixed schedule to a life where she had to create her own rhythm.
“The biggest challenge initially was pushing myself out of the 9-to-5 mentality and finding the balance to integrate all aspects of my career,” she reveals.
Now, Rima moves through her day with intention. She embraces flexibility, allowing her tech career and wellness business to grow organically while still leaving space for herself and her family.
Uplifting the UAE Business Scene
Rima’s ambition doesn’t stop at wellness. She is currently working on launching a new platform to support small businesses in the UAE—a space she believes holds incredible potential.
“I’m in the process of building a platform to support small businesses in the UAE,” she says. “Let’s see a new business coming up soon!”
This venture aims to bring community, innovation, and entrepreneurship together in ways that uplift local talent and drive economic growth.
Staying Grounded with Purpose and Humility
Despite her success, Rima remains humble. She believes in the importance of self-awareness, humility, and staying connected to your values.
“Stay grounded and manage your own ego,” she advises. It’s a lesson she practices daily, whether she’s leading a business meeting or guiding someone through a Pilates session.
Rima’s vision is all about blending innovation with authenticity. “I hope to leave an impact that bridges innovation with authenticity—whether it’s in the Pilates studio, the wellness space, or the tech and business world.”
Legacy of Connection and Purpose
Rima doesn’t just want to be remembered for her titles. She wants to be remembered for the lives she touched and the communities she helped build.
“I want to be remembered as someone who created real, lasting connections: between people and their bodies, between small businesses and their communities, and between ideas and execution.”
This kind of impact goes far beyond business. It creates ripples that transform the way people live, think, and connect.
What’s Next for Rima Faour?
With so many hats to wear, you might wonder what the future looks like for Rima. But she’s in no rush.
Her advice? “Don’t rush and trust the process.”
She continues to grow her business, invest in her wellness brand, and raise her daughters with love and intention. And with a new venture on the horizon, Rima is once again proving that with purpose, passion, and patience, anything is possible.
