Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Mariam has spent the last decade traveling and living in various places before establishing her home in Northern Bruce Peninsula, Ontario. Here, she resides on a 50-acre homestead with her partner and two beloved pups, Gypsy and JoJo. The homestead features a Wellness Studio, a cabin nestled in the forest, and a small farm stand offering wellness products, fresh produce, and preserves. The property is also home to an expanding food garden, wildlife corridors, and a developing trail network, with plans to welcome chickens and goats soon.
 

Mariam is the Founder and Owner of BeYou Yoga + Wellness, an integrative wellness business offering a range of online and in-person services.   
 

Mariam channels her deep love for the outdoors into every aspect of her work, offering a diverse range of services including yoga, mindfulness, survival courses, foraging, and hunting. Her passion for wellness and community is at the heart of everything she does. 
 

She is a lover of dogs, coffee, the great outdoors, and sour keys!
 

Mariam volunteers for TWC because of the deep and meaningful connection. As someone with an extensive background in community development, advocacy, and wellness, particularly for children, youth, and women, I recognize the vital role that supportive environments play in empowering individuals. The Women's Centre provides a safe space for women to connect, grow, and access essential resources, and I’m passionate about contributing to this mission.
 

Her commitment to helping women thrive goes beyond professional experience—it's rooted in a genuine desire to foster resilience and well-being in the community. Volunteering allows her to give back, share skills, and be part of a network that uplifts and empowers women, ensuring they have the tools and support they need to succeed.
