Dr Zana is passionate about wellness. She is a creative and spiritual person with a vision and dedication to make a difference in people’s lives. Her compassion and deep need to understand and improve human suffering rises from personally facing a number of challenging life situations: early learning problems and ADHD, civil war in her country of origin and immigration to South Africa, as well as struggling with degenerative spinal disorder and unsuccessful fertility treatments. To support her own sense of well-being, Dr Zana practices regular yoga, meditation, gym and hiking.
