During the session, Wayan’s hands will pass over the body, responding to and clearing any unhealthy energy originating from the source of emotional and mental burdens and physical ailments.

Pak Ketut - Pranic Acupuncture Healing | 75/90 minutes

This is a unique therapeutic experience that works with both subtle energetic system, and physical body. Ketut will begin with pranic healing to re-balance the aura and harmonize chi in the body to enable the life force flow more freely. Acupuncture will then release any energy blocks that show up physically in the body’s meridians by involving specific placement of small needles gently into the body. For the 2-hour session, Ketut will integrate his signature healing massage. His intuitive touch will soothe muscular tension and promote circulation to enable freedom and lightness.
