Twelve weeks, one guide, and a handful of small daily practices you will actually keep. Built on the Indonesian tradition behind everything JUARA makes.
In Indonesia, jamu is not what you reach for when you are unwell. It is what you make in the morning, every morning, because looking after yourself is ordinary rather than exceptional.
You already understand this. It is why you have a ritual for your skin rather than a product you use when something goes wrong. This programme applies the same thinking to the rest of the day: what you eat, how you move, how you sleep, and who you see.
Jamu is not just an ingredient. It is a belief that wellbeing is a daily practice, not an occasional luxury.
Metta Murdaya, FounderThe same botanicals that sit in JUARA formulations have been taken as jamu for centuries, brewed daily, at home, long before anyone called it wellness.
Most programmes hand you a plan and measure whether you followed it. This one starts from the opposite position. The practice that works is the one that suits you, and you are the person best placed to find it.
There is an Indonesian word for the moment something clicks and you recognise it as yours. Two people can be given identical advice and only one will keep it. When something is not working here, we assume it did not fit you, and we change it.
Enjoyment is not a reward for doing the healthy thing. It is the reason the healthy thing is still happening in March. Every practice is chosen partly because you like it, and anything you merely tolerate gets replaced.
The same guide, in the room, every week for twelve weeks. Nothing to download, no food diary, nothing to log daily. If you want to track something that is your decision, not a requirement.
Twelve weeks. A practice takes roughly two to three months to stop requiring a decision. The programme is as long as that takes and no longer.
Where you actually are, in your words. We take a starting picture across six areas of life, and you leave with one small change, deliberately smaller than feels worthwhile.
One area each week: food, movement, rest, self-care. You begin to see what connects to what, and why some weeks feel better than others. A second picture at week six.
What survives a difficult week, and what does not. We build the smallest version of each practice that still works, and agree exactly how you come back after a break.
Your own set of practices, written in your words. Week eleven you run it without a session. Week twelve we compare all three pictures and you keep the plan.
The order flexes. If one area is already working for you, we spend the time somewhere it is needed.
You will cover all six across the twelve weeks. You will work on the one or two where the gap is widest, chosen by you in the first session.
What you eat and drink, and whether you enjoy it. No meal plan, nothing removed.
Movement, strength, balance and whether you are recovering from what you already do.
Not sleep, which nobody can decide to do. The hour before it, which you can.
The daily things done with attention rather than at speed. Where JUARA already lives.
What you are carrying, and whether there is any point in the day that belongs to you.
The people, the outdoors, and the things you do that have no purpose at all.
One price. Nothing else to buy, and no products required to take part.
Thirty years in health and fitness, a former instructor and dancer, and six years running an equine therapy programme. She shaped the movement side of this programme around balance and enjoyment rather than intensity. She will be the person in the room with you every week.
Born in Jakarta, raised between Indonesia and San Francisco, Metta co-founded JUARA in 2006. Her award-winning book Jamu Lifestyle is the definitive guide to Indonesian herbal wellness, and this programme is her method adapted for delivery one to one.
The programme is delivered in person in Wellington and runs with twelve people so that every session is one to one. When the places are taken, the next intake opens.
Less than a single personal training session per week, and it includes everything listed above.
Secure checkout. You will be asked for your details and preferred session time.

Forty-five minutes a week with your guide, plus whatever the practices themselves take, usually a few minutes a day by design. The group activity is optional. There is nothing to log and no homework.
No. Products are not part of the programme and nothing is sold to you during it. Some practices involve things you already own or already do.
Neither. No meal plans, no calorie targets, no training programme, and nothing is banned. If you want a diet or a training plan, this is the wrong programme and we would rather say so now.
Your guide works on habits and everyday practices. She is not a doctor and does not diagnose or treat anything. If something clinical surfaces, she will tell you and help you find the right person, and the programme continues alongside that.
You keep your written plan. There is an optional ongoing membership, a monthly check-in and continued access to the group, discussed around week nine so it never arrives as a surprise. Nobody is obliged to continue.
This intake is Wellington only because it is delivered in person. Join the waitlist and we will let you know when a programme opens near you.
That is the whole idea behind jamu, and the reason this programme exists. Twelve weeks from now you will know which few things genuinely change how you feel, and you will have kept them.
