Shaanti Holistic Health Retreat - Mombasa - Diani
Shaanti Holistic Health Retreat is a small boutique health retreat offering AfricanMecca guests' personalized service and individual attention. Shaanti Holistic Health Retreat also encourages its guests to make the most of this beautiful beach and warm Indian Ocean. There is nothing more peaceful than taking a walk through Shaant's many gardens and discovering the secret mandala's placed throughout the compound.
Shaanti is a culmination of the dreams of many people, an anthropologist, an engineer, a yogi, a Dutch artist, a filmmaker, an economist, a musician, a spiritual seeker and a social entrepreneur. More importantly it included the dreams of local artisans of Kwale, the bricklayers, the masons, the artists, the candle stick makers and many more.
Surrounded by this energy, the concept of Shaanti Holistic Health Retreat was born. After that, a universal flow took over with a wave of serendipitous events. The right manager, the right yoga therapist and practitioner, the right designer, landscape artist and local artisans from Kwale came to us as if they had lain in wait for just such a project. As with all the staff working at Shaanti, they all had something unique and special about them and were driven by the same compassionate energy for people and health, for well being and quality, for service and trust.

This type of massage involves the movement of pranic energies within the body. This is done by applying pressure through the muscles and nerves with the aid of various herbal oils. It helps to preserve the vital energies in the body and hence bring agility, flexibility, suppleness and a wonderful feeling of well-being.
• Relaxing / Swedish Massage:
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage was developed in the 1700's by a Swedish doctor named Per Henrik Ling. If you just want to unwind to calming music and the sound of the water, then lie back and get the old "Shoulder rub" or full body massage.

• Reflexology/Acupressure:
Reflexologists manipulate reflex zones most commonly on the feet but the hands or ears may also be manipulated. A session usually lasts 45 minutes with the client sitting in a chair or lying on a bed. The practitioner uses thumb fingers in small movements over the sole of the foot. This manipulation prompts the nervous system to speed up the body's response to an afflicted area by stimulating the flushing of toxins from the area.

• Homeopathy:
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is based on the Law of Similars. The truth of this law has been verified experimentally and clinically for the last 200 years. First, humans must accept that all symptoms, no matter how uncomfortable they are, represent the body's attempt to restore itself to health. Instead of looking upon the symptoms as something wrong which must be set right, we see them as signs of the way the body is attempting to help itself.
• Dance Therapy:
Dance movement therapy is the use of creative movement and dance in a therapeutic alliance. It uses the relationship between motion and emotion as a vehicle through which an individual can engage in personal integration towards a clearer definition of self. During the last 10 years, dance movement therapy along with other art therapies have been recognized internationally. Shaanti Holistic Health Retreat offers dance therapy by appointment.
