SoHum Mountain Healing Resort

"Being at SoHum surpassed my deepest expectations. All of the staff lived from their heart. They were always there for me whenever I needed them with smiles on their faces and pure love in their heart. The practitioners met with me every day to make sure I was doing ok. I received herbs at meals that were made just for me and what I needed for my body. The daily abiangas were so relaxing. I felt so peaceful after them. Chef made delicious meals. At SoHum I was taken care of in every way. Before I left The practitioner made sure that I had the herbs and supplies I needed to continue at home. I could say so much more. SoHum was one of the most healing places I have ever been to in my 70 years."

"This was my first panchakarma (PK) experience and I was very nervous about what was in store despite knowing that the PK journey had brought incredible levels of healing to many of my friends and family. I had a shoulder and nerve injury I was trying to work through and decided to come hoping it would hasten my healing. The moment I got on my first pre-arrival call with one of the SoHum practitioners, I knew that I was not going to be alone but that I was going to be in capable and caring hands and my arrival to SoHum Mountain Healing Resort did not disappoint! On arrival we were each individually greeted with a beautiful welcome honoring the light within us. I could feel in their hearts that they were so excited to guide, support and serve us through our healing week which lay ahead. The Lodge itself had a beautiful rustic lobby with a large central fireplace to ground the cozy space. The charm of the lobby was not lost when I entered the room because it had a wood burning fireplace and a small balcony of its own. It can be a challenge to get a wood fire going unless you're a boy scout, but everyday as part of the daily room service, new wood and starters were stacked and waiting to simply light and instantly enjoy a roaring fire. I LOVED this!!! I even asked for more wood and starters later in the day and the staff were happy to come set up a new stack for me to simply light. The daily Serenity treatments were extremely therapeutic and the therapists were all very good. It was nice to have one main therapist that was with you all week. Chef Michael! He is so talented in preparing and presenting Ayurvedic friendly vegan food to support the PK process. I could have used more greens, but there was a purpose behind limiting those as to enhance the efforts of our PK treatment. You did not leave the table hungry! All the kitchen staff was very attentive to our needs. They would have all of our individual herbs out for us to take with our meals which was very helpful!! The morning gentle yoga ritual is very nice. However, I only made it to a couple of them. The beds were very comfortable and the view of the mountains at sunrise from my room made it hard to leave that space! The afternoon "lessons" on Ayurveda were very informative and the evening gatherings with the other guests were a nice way to close out the day through discussions or chanting or both! The daily check ins with the practitioners and the loving support from all the staff was amazing to have for my first PK treatment. Thank you to all of them for a successful PK week. I left with more movement in my shoulder and less nerve pain in my arm and hands! I also, want to note that it doesn't end when you leave SoHum. I am still receiving virtual support from the practitioners as I move into my daily life when comes to my questions about my diet or herbs."

"My stay at beautiful SoHum was restful and rejuvenating. The staff and therapists were incredibly kind and attentive and their attention to my comfort and needs made me feel special and cared for. My treatments were amazing and the food was delicious and prepared with love. The beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains soothed my soul. I look forward to my next visit!"

"I love everything about SoHum Mountain Healing Resort. The location is spectacular, truly a gem in the Elk Mountains. My room was perfect with a fireplace and a bathtub sitting right under the window with a view of the mountains. The treatments were amazing, very well trained ayurvedic specialists, the food was just right, and I was made to feel incredibly welcome. I did not want to leave but I will be back!"
