Our Story ‣ Soul Vida

Soul Vida is a story of revolutionizing mind body well-being to awaken the greatness within

Like all great stories, Soul Vida began with a larger than life vision.

More than a decade in the making, Soul Vida is a journey of awakening the power within, through determination, faith and courage, in the face of life’s challenges and the actualizing of a life-long dream of ‘Healing the world, awakening the Greatness Within.

Makita Gabriel, our founder, set out on a life changing journey spanning over three decades, as a mind body healing pioneer, wellness entrepreneur with success stories celebrated from clients around the world. Her breakthrough research and empowering transformational content has led the mind body wellbeing industry for decades.

Combining her passion for wellbeing and healing, together with her own healing journey through numerous health challenges, anxiety, depression and the search for the true nature of Self, she created the Soul Vida Method and Soul Vida Wellness to help transform and empower individuals to live authentic and heart centred lives.

The Soul Vida method

In 2014 Makita was inspired to create The Soul Vida Method –

A unique workout style meditation, that transforms, rejuvenates and heals the body and calms the mind. Each workout is designed by Makita herself, combining the best of breath and synchronized inspired flow, establishing a new generation of mind body workouts hardwired with meditation.

The Soul Vida Teacher Training Certification is due to launch in 2025 for students wanting to be certified in her revolutionary method, along with Makita’s up and coming book Soul Vida™ Train the Body Free Your Mind, the ultimate guide to The Soul Vida® Method, which is a wonderful inspiring and in-depth look at the ground breaking workout style meditations, that are transforming the world of fitness, healing and well-being.

A note from our Founder

We set out to create a business dedicated to healing and wellbeing, with a much needed ‘touch of soul’ that not only enables people to experience all aspects of wellbeing ( mind, body, heart and spirit) in an immersive way, but empowers people to transform themselves and the world, creating a ripple effect of inspiration and empowerment.

We wanted to build a movement of holistic wellbeing practices and a global community of Wellness Partners, who were as passionate as we were about the empowering humanity to become healthy, empowered and stress free.

We are stronger together, supporting each other to grow and prosper, when we gather in the spirit of compassion, truth and integrity. We move mountains towards personal and planetary healing, when we do Business for Good. At Soul Vida we’re honoured to stand tall with humanity and assist in the healing and wellbeing of the planet.’
