About Me —
Why I Care.

My name is Claire Hourani. I’m an Arab-American with Lebanese and Syrian descent, and I’ve grown up navigating a world full of contradiction, especially when it comes to health. My mother is a pharmacist, yet she always urged us not to take medicine unless absolutely necessary. That paradox taught me something important: just because something is available doesn’t mean it’s always right for us.

​

As a national-level competitive dancer trained in eight styles, I’ve spent my life deeply connected to my body. I’ve learned how easily the wrong advice, (whether it’s from a label, a post, or a trusted voice) can affect how we eat, recover, move, and think. I’ve also seen how fast misinformation spreads, especially in wellness spaces where marketing is often louder than science.

​

This isn’t about rejecting modern medicine or shaming social media. It’s about asking better questions. I want to explore how marketing, media, and power shape what we believe: about health, about truth, about each other.

This space is where I start that conversation.
