UBUNTU WELLNESS

What is Ubuntu?

A common definition of Ubuntu is ‘A person is a person through other persons.’ Our Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu describes Ubuntu as being ‘the essence of being human. It speaks of the fact that my humanity is caught up and is inextricably bound up in yours.’

What is Ubuntu Wellness?

Ubuntu Wellness elaborates on the essence of Ubuntu, reminding us that due to our interconnection, my wellness, in all of its many dimensions, can only emerge fully in relation to your optimal wellness.It is a clear lens through which we can grow to see the world, a lens that allows us to envision wellness for all.

Allow us to introduce you to the world of Ubuntu Wellness where our goal is not just feeling fine, but feeling abundantly well and delighting in the journey of shared wellness.

The Well of Love….Need We Say More

“Great Massage

On holiday in Cape Town in 2019 & 2020 I had a number of sport/deep tissue massages by Ian. Best I’ve ever had and his advice about posture following my treatments in 2019 has resulted in the lifestyle changes which have hugely benefited my well-being. Ian has a very professional approach and is confidence inspiring. A totally five star experience.” John B

Number 1 Wellness and Healing Center in Cape Town! This place is endless calming and peaceful, you will feel wonderful from the first second on. I came to experience the floating tank and ended up coming back for massages and Reiki. I have never experienced such powerful bodywork, it’s the best! If someone wants to work with true Masters, this is the place!” Vasiliki K
