A
s many Jakartans can attest, the perpetual hustle and bustle of the big city does not lend itself to the best of mental care. Stress becomes such a consistent state of mind, it is sometimes hard to even notice the mind needing a rest.
This is one of the reasons why many Jakarta people seek places to engage in exercises that benefit body and mind. Rumah Remedi, located in Kemang, South Jakarta, is one such place.
The “healing house”, a subdivision of Remedi Indonesia, employs certified healing practitioners from various backgrounds and modalities as therapists. Both began in 2012 with an initial vision of “Oneness”, in what they regard as the better serving of humankind and the universe.
“What we love is the fact that the facilitators complete each other, thus this group of practitioners can offer a holistic healing program for clients,” said Siti Banu Intan, one of the house's owners, adding that “Oneness means completely connected to oneself, thus connected with others and the universe.”
Intan said Rumah Remedi aimed to “especially filter the involvement of facilitators through our values. The personality of our facilitators is the fact they can translate our values into their practice, meaning that they conduct the sessions based on love. This incorporation, we believe, helps the clients heal effectively”.
Intan and her business partner, Ferry Fibriandani, define Rumah Remedi as the “Home of Our Wellbeing”.
“We imagine this homely space where ‘Remedians’, the term we use to call our community of clients and visitors, can always go to access and improve their wellbeing.”
