Prana Treatment Room Prana Treatment Room is now open at 2 Cash Rd, Eumundi offering Ayurveda and remedial sports massage treatments. Ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to India which uses a range of treatments including panchakarma (five detoxification actions), yoga, massage, acupuncture and herbal medicine to encourage health and wellbeing. Undine completed her Ayurvedic training in 2018, establishing Prana Treatment Room shortly after in Palmwoods while working in collaboration with other health services. She spent the last year acquiring a Remedial Massage and Advanced Rehabilitation Diploma to enhance her ability to treat clients.

My journey led me to immerse myself in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. My particular focus lies in optimising dietary habits, enhancing digestion and ensuring efficient mineral absorption. The therapeutic aspect is fundamentally crucial as it significantly contributes to enhancing one's wellbeing. Adding remedial and sports massage I can effectively address each person's specific needs."
