SANA (derived from the Spanish ‘sanar’) is an invitation to heal from within. Centred around the philosophy that gut health is the cornerstone of optimal wellbeing, we believe that the body has an immense capacity to heal itself, given the right conditions.
Our frantic modern lifestyles have led to conditions that are far from optimal, and we are more disconnected from ourselves, and nature, than ever before. In many ways, we’ve lost touch with what it feels like to be healthy, and it’s hard to know where to start.
Despite Google making information available at the click of a cursor, we remain as confused as ever, unable to decipher the quality of health information out there, let alone the ‘right’ path for ourselves. And despite the vast amount of knowledge available – change can be challenging and difficult to sustain.
Your Journey to Sustainable Health
SANA strives to empower you to become the leader of your own health journey. With a deep respect for both scientific insight and traditional practices, we advocate the importance of ‘trying things on for size’ - taking time to really know yourself, understand your deepest needs, and discover what truly nourishes you on your path to better health.
Our naturopathic blends combine ingredients that support gut health with self-care rituals that promote connection and mindfulness. Whether it’s a moment to breathe deeply or savour a mindful sip, these practices offer a gentle reminder to care for yourself, from the inside out.
The Grass Tree: A Symbol of Resilience
The grass tree Xanthorrhoea resinifera, native to the Australian bush, illustrates core principles that lie at the heart of SANA.
Xanthorrhoea comes from the Greek xanthos, meaning 'golden' and rhoea meaning 'to flow'. Whilst its literal meaning pertains to the yellow resin which flows from the plant's stem, its symbolic meaning reflects the regenerative potential of the body once aligned to its natural flow.
This ancient plant species is slow growing, but long living - teaching us the beauty of being thoughtful, steady and conscious of how we use our time and energy. Beautiful, hardy and resilient, Xanthorrhoea thrives in nutrient-poor soils and responds to wildfire by flowering profusely - a totem reflective of the body's ability to adapt, overcome adversity and thrive, even amidst life's greatest challenges.
In the same way that the grass tree finds balance with its environment, we can achieve balance and harmony within, and through our connection to nature.
