“Great doctor, terrific therapists, delicious and healthy food, beautifully landscaped setting – staff is so friendly and helpful every thing is perfect !! Felt pampered and indulged – I will be back for sure. Thank you, every one at Soukya !”

- Vibhuti Patel (USA) January 2005

“If “faith can move mountains, so can Soukya !” And that is because the Soukya “theme”, the only one of its kind in the world, is backed by the Soukya “team” which perhaps is one of a one of kind found no where else. If your medicines worked like magic, Dr. Mathai and Suja, the love and compassion, the hospitality and grace, the friendliness and smiles and the sheer human touch of your fantastic team were truly the healing balm for the body and mind. And so clearly, this team is lead by two people, You, Dr. Mathi and Suja, who, by being who you all are making this world a more beautiful place. Equally remembering the love and warmth of Dr. Sudha, Dr. Shubha, Kala, the therapists and all the serving staff – you made us well, you made us whole again – Thank you, over and over.

- Anitha Reddy (Bangalore) November 2004
