This page is for wellness education. Our therapies are complementary wellness therapies that support comfort, relaxation and wellbeing; they do not diagnose or cure any disease and are not a substitute for medical care. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take regular medication, please consult your doctor first. Medical disclaimer.
What our therapies help with
People come to Samanvaya when pain, stress, poor sleep or digestive discomfort start getting in the way of everyday life. Our therapies are sought for:

Digestion issues
Therapies, gentle movement and clinical nutritionist guidance for bloating, heaviness, irregularity and everyday digestive discomfort.

And more
Fatigue, low energy, posture strain, stiffness and other everyday wellness concerns. Not sure if we can help? Ask us — we will advise honestly.
Our therapies are complementary and work alongside — never instead of — your doctor's care. We do not treat or cure diabetes, hypertension or any disease, and individual experiences vary. Please continue any prescribed medication.
