When I met Mabel Okungbowa over six years ago as my professional colleague in anesthesia, I was at a point in my life when I was seeking for a meaningful relationship and marriage. Mabel used her coaching strategy through the power of “Gratitude “ to help me tap into the power within me. When my relationship with my partner was heading to doom, Mabel’s nurturing step by step approach utilizing “gratitude” deeply transformed my mindset from hating those who hurt me to appreciating everyone with love and compassion; helping me to heal and I overcame my inner pain. Gratitude is truly the missing ingredient all my life and since I discovered it, I am now intentional with my daily practice of gratitude as I now pay close attention to my everyday encounter in my surroundings. The daily practice of gratitude has now changed me into a positive person, increased my self love, forgiving of myself and others easily. Gratitude has made love to fill my heart, peace to rest within me and a huge sense of hope that tomorrow will be great because I am now contented with life in general. I don’t know how Mabel did it with me, but during my broken moments filled with tears, her warm hugs were very soothing, her voice of compassion was a cold drink to a thirsty soul, and her intent and reassuring looks into my eyes encouraged me that all things are possible to them that believe.

My experience with Mabel Okungbowa

Mabel came into my life while I was in school. She was a preceptor to me as a student. Shortly after getting to know she became something much more than that. God used her as an important instrument in my life about 8 years ago. Mabel helped me to reached into my core and to pull out the power within me by utilizing the tool of gratitude. I was broken, but now I am living a well fulfilled life. She Gods gift to many of us. I can attest to it and I am sure many more. I hope many more can benefit from her gift.

Mabel is one of the Kindest and most down to earth people I know. She is the ultimate definition of hard work. This woman doesn't even know what a day off is. She is always working to provide for her family or doing charity work to give back to those in need. I first met Mabel in 2017, when I was an anesthesia student. I was in a vulnerable place, surrounded by students who came from families of anesthesiologists and surgeons. These students were on top of my class with minimal effort. Anesthesia came easy for them as they had spent many years shadowing their parents in the clinical setting. When Mabel met me in the clinical setting, she noticed I was behind compared to my peers. She quickly took me under her wings and began to teach me. There were days she would go above and beyond and teach me even during her morning and afternoon breaks. She even went to the extent of sharing all her notes from her school days. Today, I am a CRNA and my practice is still enhanced by Mabel's teaching. Mabel is one of a kind, believer of God. She puts God first in everything she does. She is always praying, no matter how confident she is about the situation. It is a blessing to know Mabel.

Thank you Mabel, I'm so grateful for everything you have done for me, idk if I would have been as okay as I am without everything you have taught me!
