Satori is a global health collective where individuals can develop their best self through the practice of quality relationships.

This is our belief: True contentment with the self
is only possible in how we relate to others.

Satori is a place where both health professionals and individuals can come together to improve the quality of their lives through a focus on their relationships with others.

 How we can help

  • Relationships

    Relationships are hard work. Despite our best intentions, we end up in destructive cycles. We believe the relationships with those around us define our fulfillment in life. Whether it is with a romantic partner, parent, child, friend or even colleagues - our relationships are key to mental health.

  • Living Expat Life

    Expat life is at once exciting but also terrifying and and can ultimately lead to loneliness. At Satori you can work with a therapist who has first hand experience in this paradox to help you calibrate to your new environment to make the most of your exciting adventure.

  • A World of Insecurity

    Our world can be a chaotic place. War, violence, crime, disease and unrest, especially if it happens to loved ones far away, can make us feel isolated and insecure. Therapy can help us overcome these feelings of powerlessness.

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety can hamper us in many ways. It can trigger fight or flight responses to everyday situations and cause further stress. It can affect one’s health, with insomnia and heart palpitations. Therapy can help pinpoint the source to help you control its effect on our life.

  • Raising Children

    We all want what’s best for our children. They need support and guidance to function optimally in their daily lives, which is so different to when we as parents were their age. At Satori we focus on their sensory, physical, emotional and speech development and we also offer parent guidance.

  • Neurodiversity

    We all have different brains and each brain can present its own developmental challenge. Our team offers assessments and interventions for children, teens and adults to function optimally in a world that sometimes treat every brain as the same. From ADHD and autism to dyslexia and dyspraxia, we have the experience to help.

  • Well-being

    Well-being is a concept that means different things to different people. It is about being content, but also enjoying overal physical and mental health. Taking care of mental health is a key part of well-being, and determines how we deal with our roles in life.

  • Children and Adolescents

    Childhood and adolescence are naturally complex stages in every person’s development. In today’s world, these complexities are compounded by technology and a rapidly evolving society. With the right mental health support, we equip our kids and teens to build healthy relationships with themselves and the world around them.

  • Trauma

    We can experience trauma in so many ways. It could be something dramatic and recent and an event that you keep thinking about. Or it can be something subtle that happened decades back. Whatever it is, its effects can have a paralysing effect. Our team is well versed in modern approaches to helping our clients process these painful events.

 Our Mission and Values

 

At Satori, we value independence and autonomy. As such, each practitioner runs their practice independently. When we then choose to dream together and share resources interdependently, we become Satori. 

Larissa and Christi are the custodians of the Satori brand, taking the responsibility to ensure the integrity of the brand and to create an environment where optimal, healthy interaction is possible.
