Chikitsa House was cofounded by Dennis Hedriana and Jenny Draddy. It took them some time to choose a name that encapsulated and represented their core values. Chikitsa is a Pali word which means therapy and giving care to. Pali is no longer spoken but is studied to further our knowledge in Buddhism and Ayurvedic medicine. House is synonymous with home, a place where you are nurtured and you also nurture yourself. Their vision of Chikitsa House is a place where you can receive healing but also learn how to heal yourself through the support of practitioners, learn meditation, and attend classes and workshops which centre on promoting health and wellbeing.
