Tim Tse
Polarity Therapy/ Massage
Polarity Therapy is a system of energy balancing involving bodywork, counselling, therapeutic exercise and nutrition. It is based on the work of Dr. Randolph Stone who integrated his work as a Naturopath, Osteopath and Chiropractor with the eastern concepts of energy flow found in the Ayurvedic system of India, as well as the Chinese and Egyptian Hermetic System.
A session usually consists of about an hour of hands-on bodywork, involving a series of both light and deep contact to release the energy and allow it to re-establish a normal balanced flow. This results in deep relaxation, allowing for a release of tension and chronic pain and providing an opportunity for you to discover more about your mental and emotional blocks and how to develop a healthy attitude toward life.
I believe it is possible to apply ancient natural healing science in a modern-day setting to the benefit of guests as part of a Wellbeing program. Read More

Dr Gowri Subramanian MB ChB BAO
Pranic Healing
A medical doctor who trained in Ireland and has worked in the National Health Service, in the private sector and also volunteered with aid organisations around the globe. She mentors many doctors, nurses and pranic healers through their training and career.
Dr Subramanian has been a Principal investigator in more than 20 clinical trials and she has authored various publications and posters and presented at medical conferences and health technology assessments. In the pharmaceutical industry, she has helped lobby topics at parliament and contributed to national NICE guidelines. Dr Gowri was also a medical director in medium-sized pharma and to date, she continues to be a strategic consultant for many businesses. The high-pressured healthcare sector led her to find Pranic Healing whilst on holiday. She was blown away at how simple yet powerful the techniques were and utilises the spiritual technology in lifestyle medicine (energy medicine + traditional allopathic medicine).
She embraces and welcomes people from all walks of life, in the true spirit of oneness. Her teaching style is aligned very closely to Master Choa Kok Sui's - she keeps things simple, and lively and tailors the content to the audience. She also loves dancing and is highly passionate about integrating spirituality in early years, schools and family life.
