A Simple Approach To Health
Prevention & Treatment for injury & illness thats realistic
At Strength and Soul, we embrace a natural and holistic approach to your health by treating the root cause of disease at physical, mental and emotional level using Ayurveda Medicine, Yoga Therapy, and hands-on therapeutic treatment.
Many clients come to us after trying a range of different therapies, diets or supplements thats not working for them. Or they want to avoid surgery or avoid relying on painkillers or long-term medication. We believe in an integrated approach between modern science and ancient wisdom.
There is a time for modern medical treatment or surgery (we’ve both had surgery ourselves). Before turning to measures such as surgery, settling for a life on medication or heading to the pharmacy for minor ailments, let us show you another way.
We have a decade of experience with clients and we emphasise a regular Ayurveda lifestyle and yoga practice to maintain balance; food, herbs, spices, movement, breath work, rest, and connecting with the seasons to help treat and prevent illness and disease.
