You're In Business

Somaya Retreats is a verified, operating wellness business in Phnom Penh offering unique Ayahuasca and Bokator therapies, with positive external reviews and pricing around $1,500. However, the submission itself is of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used it and 'everyone' is the audience) and confusing financial terminology ('marketcap'). While the project has real-world utility and a clear niche market, the lack of scalable technology and the unreliable input data significantly cap its score within the 'Minimal Traction/Small Business' range.

Description
We are a client-centered foundation supporting those discouraged by conventional medical models, or who seek new ways of healing with safe, evidence-based, and accessible Ayahuasca -assisted therapies. At SOMAYA, we support the careful and necessary mending of pain and mental health, empowering individuals to find wholeness in the wisdom of acceptance and restoration. Ayahuasca along with other psychedelic medicines are cutting-edge treatment and away to explore self development like never before. We adhere to the most recent research to ensure the best results at the highest levels of care. We are aiming to contribute to research and clinical data so that relief is available to everyone who needs it no matter what culture or country you originate from. Aside from pre and post therapeutic sessions we also have incorporated somatic practices to give you even more out of your experience. We work with several providers in Phnom Penh that you can choose to work with. Each has different background to meet individual needs.
