Recently, she has developed and taught curriculums on anxiety disorders and their treatments, The Tug War: Pain & Pleasure & the Science of Emotions for the Stanford University Continuing Studies Program (CSP). Marwa studied psychology for many years and completed a master’s in counseling psychology. She has facilitated many groups such as anger management, stress management, interpersonal communication, and many others for patients suffering from a variety of mental disorders. After many years of addressing human behaviors from a psychological perspective, Marwa realized that there were blind spots that needed to be satiated from complementary fields. Thus, she completed a PhD in biological sciences with emphasis on neuroscience. Dr. Azab started life coaching utilizing an interdisciplinary approach that intersects psychology, biology and genetics.

Marwa is a sought after international public speaker who is invited to speak on a variety of interdisciplinary topics, including five TEDx talks, translated to multiple languages.
