From Dr Arien
"Even after years of being a medical doctor, I still find myself marvelling at the amazingly powerful and finely tuned orchestra we call our bodies", says Arien.
She points out that we don’t give our vibrantly beating hearts a second thought and notes that we don’t even notice our brains and kidneys functioning. We never consider how our lungs work tirelessly to keep us alive.
"We don’t fully appreciate how our eyes, ears and noses open up the understanding of the world around us. We each have personal and unlimited access to a super-computer-driven piece of ‘technology’, with a mind that extends even further than the brain and heart!
"Our natural state as human beings, is to be healthy but we need to learn how to support our bodies to be optimally well and maintain healthy, behaviour - and this is easier than you think", says Arien.

The Youthful Living Program (one of Dr Arien's most recently developed courses) aims to entertain, enlighten and educate people on how to become a healthy, happy individual and reach 120 years of age (our natural lifespan!).
"My focus is on creating practical mind-body-soul online health and wellness courses which will positively impact the lives of millions of people," she says.
I believe in following an integrative approach which considers the whole-being; therefore taking into account body, mind, emotions and soul to help you find inner balance with natural health solutions and becoming healthy from the inside out.
