My love for wellbeing began when I started looking at the system of the body as a whole, from a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual perspective and combining these to create healthy solutions.
Sabio Janiak runs immersive and transformative programs integrating psycho sensory modalities, cutting-edge neuroscience, live music and holistic practices which provide a comprehensive approach to mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. The core of his company is a carefully curated synergy of practices that work together to activate, balance, and rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.
The program is a holistic integration of the following elements:
Movement/Dance: Engaging in expressive Belly Dance movement Classes and ecstatic dance to unlock emotional blockages and cultivate a sense of freedom and joy.
