They offer a culturally immersive healing experience, grounded in mindfulness, simplicity, and seasonal living. Their holistic program blends evidence-based therapy with the healing wisdom of Japanese tradition, guiding clients back to balance in body, mind, and spirit.

Engage in a Culturally Immersive Program

Each program is designed around five interconnected dimensions of wellbeing: mental, physical, spiritual, creative, and nutrition. These dimensions ensure that every part is supported, from clarity of mind to vitality of body, from spiritual presence to creative flow, all sustained by mindful nourishment. Working one-to-one with exceptional therapists and practitioners, the client is guided through a personalised blend of evidence-based therapies and Japanese traditions to restore balance and renewal.

  • Energy-balancing bodywork

It features traditional Japanese Tatami floors and shoji screens, Hinoki wood accents and natural textures, as well as large windows with garden views.
