Living in a new country can be exciting, but it also brings unique emotional challenges—especially for women navigating unfamiliar cultures, family roles, and career transitions. At the American Wellness Center in Dubai, we offer dedicated support for expat and multicultural women adjusting to life in the UAE. Whether you're feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure of where you belong, you don’t have to face it alone.
