While exploring South East Asia, Sonya and Nick Jensen were inspired to learn more about themselves. “It took us out of the doing that Western life is all about,” Sonya notes of their travelling experience. When the couple returned to Vancouver, they both decided to do what they love and began pursuing naturopathic medicine.
Naturopathic medicine focuses on the body’s systems; anything found to be off-balance is supported to "ensure that the whole system is treated, not just symptoms," Sonya explains. Sonya’s focus is on women’s health and pregnancy while Nick specializes in men’s health.
When the space next door to the clinic became available, Sonya and Nick jumped at the chance to expand their business and opened Ravita Health in May 2016.
Ravita means to nourish and that's the overarching goal at the Kitsilano health and wellness boutique, to nourish body, mind and spirit. The comprehensive retail and healing space offers resources and workshops, supplements, yoga and group detox, weight loss and nutrition programs, and an IV lounge. “Our goal is to serve the community.” Sonya notes.
