There is a growing demand for holistic mental health and wellness programs as more people are seeking to improve their overall well-being. The global mental health market is projected to grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 6.2% from 2021 to 2028.

Furthermore, there is an increasing awareness of the link between physical and mental health, which has led to a rise in integrated wellness programs. The market for nutrition and fitness services is also growing, with the global wellness industry expected to reach $6 trillion by 2025. Our program aims to tap into these markets by offering a unique and comprehensive approach “all under one roof”.
