origins

Suntè was born between worlds, with both Allopathic and Ayurvedic knowledge and experience.

Suntè is my offering to women.

Translated as

Art & to hear

Suntè is the art of listening.

Learning to listen to our bodies, our hearts, our wombs, our emotions, our intuition, our Self.

Through Ayurveda, yoga, women’s circles, and ayurvedic postpartum doula care, Suntè’s goal is to empower women to listen to the wisdom that is coming from within. To build trust with their bodies and to strengthen this communication that speaks to them through the bodies language of symptoms and feelings. We aim to gift knowledge and tools for women to implement what they need in each moment to optimise their own health especially as they navigate the cycles within them and around them. Whilst also offering treatments that are supportive to their journey.

On a personal note, Suntè is also an ode to what means most to me, love. Whilst also nodding to the backbone of Ayurveda, nature.

A blend of my grandfather’s name Santè and the life giving Sun.

To me, my pa is the embodiment of courage, sincerity and kapha strength. He protected and stood up for his family as the oldest son, while his father was repeatedly taken during the war. He possesed courage to speak up, to stand up and to withstand the challenges that arose. Later, he left Italy and came to Australia with not much resources but with a full heart and his mind set on a goal. He worked hard, stuck to his moral compass, took chances, followed his instincts and built a life he can be proud of, full of love. He had the most fertile, well loved soil in his backyard where he grew vegetables and fruit to nourish himself, his family and some lucky friends. He is 92 now and still has more strength in his hands than anyone I know. And although now some days he may not remember things and he’s a long way from home. Through Suntè he will forever be helping me guide others home to themselves, helping them remember.

So you see, Suntè is the baring of my heart. It is raw, real and ready to serve my fellow women in their journey towards health, vitality and peace.
