Dr Ela Manga is a medical doctor in Muldersdrift specializing in bringing mindfulness back into medicine and using various integrative techniques in her daily practice.  She uses modern medicine as a framework but focuses on looking at the root causes of illness rather than focusing on treating symptoms.  Dr Ela Manga recognizes the need for health coaches as her approach is to treat her patients as partners in order to sustain wellness.

Dr Ela has created an integrative approach to mental, physical and emotional health which includes drawing on a variety of methodologies, traditions, latest research, and experience. She has formulated a system for energy management which guides a process of sustainable growth. Dr Ela is particularly passionate about breathwork as a powerful way to support people in their healing process. 

Dr Manga sits on several Organisation’s Boards, including One Sky International, Caleo Capital and ACISA (Axis Cancer Institute of South Africa). She offers one-on-one sessions, Skype sessions and facilitation of workshops and retreats. 

Dr Ela is the founder of Breathwork Africa and her book on mastering energy in the age of burnout, The Energy Code, was published in 2017.
