“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, BUT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT YOURSELF IS SELF EMPOWERMENT.”
DR. JOE DISPENZA
WHAT’S YOUR STORY?
Everybody has a unique relationship with health. Ours evolved thanks to experiences in a variety of sports, injuries, studies, jobs, self-experiments, and lessons in life.
Growing up with a medical father and pragmatic mother, the preferred forms of medication were either to eat, create, rest or play. Timeless advice in a health sector that has become far too complicated.
This topic came up during a phone call between the Peruvian Amazon and Swiss Alps. Whilst discussing the future of healthcare, we agreed it should be less about sick-care and more about living in a state of vitality.
The seed was planted and ZOLA soon came to fruition. Combining forces in wellbeing and medicine, we’re on a mission to break through the noise and accelerate the paradigm shift in contemporary self-care.
To your zenith & beyond!

TESTIMONIAL
Excellent experience! ZOLA tailor your experience based on your needs/goals with food advice and deep tissue massages to boost your metabolism.
The movement exercises seem a piece of cake at first but soon enough you realise it’s a proper workout for those muscles you didn’t even know you had. I’ve become a regular and I can only recommend Javed’s wellbeing coaching enough.
