First center for body and soul

JAKARTA (JP): The first center for the well-being of body and mind has opened. Stylist, which is located in southern Jakarta, claims to be the first center with holistic treatments.

Lourda Budi Dharma, executive director of Stylist, said that what people need today is not just a fit body but also a fit mind.

"Some people practice regular sports and look healthy, but because something still bothers their minds, like personal problems or the need to make their life meaningful, they don't feel content and look unhealthy," she told The Jakarta Post.

Therefore, she said her center not only offers body care and beauty services but also consultations with doctors, psychologists and religious leaders.

"So, if our clients feel that there is something inharmonious or unbalanced in their life, besides practicing sports in our center for making their bodies fit, they can also consult priests or ulemas here for free," Lourda said, adding that the religious consultations are non-profit. (als)
