THE Roseberry New Age Centre, near Surin Beach on the west coast of Phuket is something quite different, and dare I say it, very special.

As you walk in the door, bells chime and you notice the aroma of highly concentrated essential oils.

You will be entranced by the variety of nick-nacks, self-help books, crystals, angel cards and new age products including creams, oils and lotions.

Husband and wife team, Nikorn and Dorrinda created Roseberry, which is one of the few centres that actually deliver a holistic approach by offering healing for both the mind and the body.

The centre offers a range of alternative ‘hands on’ therapies which include elements of Reiki, energy work, and crystal therapy combined with aromatherapy massage as well as workshops to heal the mind.

I tried the Rei Massage which was divine.

The warmth of the Reiki energy and the healing touch of hands combined with beautiful essential oils was heavenly.

It was something unique that you have to experience for yourself.

It really is indescribable.

I also tried the third-eye awakening, and a baby face facial.

Each treatment is a very personal experience and gives you a chance to connect with your inner world.

The extraordinary facials include crystal wands and tumble stones to magnify the ‘gifts’ or purpose.

The treatments are based around your energy fields and chakras to increase harmony within you and transform your energy into it’s highest potential.

All of the products used are home-made, and healers channel energy and healing vibrations into each one.

Treatments also include bells, gongs and singing bowls which are used to seal your energy within and strengthen your outer field before going back into the world.

It’s a fascinating, hedonistic and enlightening experience.

Client’s are advised to think about the type of healing they require before their treatment which allows you to mentally unwind while being massaged.

I chose clarity and patience.

Roseberry also offer two-day workshops on the art of re-influencing your life.

The workshop is designed to be motivational, and uplifting, and it gets to the root of your issues and helps you to re-connect with your sense of who you are.

Dorrinda has more than 20 years experience in her field and she will be your guide and facilitator.

A typical workshop costs around 20,000 baht.

“People who come to the workshop should be prepared to be deep and meaningful with me, themselves, and reflect on their life,” she said.

Roseberry also welcomes other healing practitioners into the centre including hypnotherapists, yoga teachers and physiotherapists.

Nikorn’s has just finished writing his third book and offers healing therapies and teachings including Buddhism in every day Life, meditation, Tibetan energy balancing; mind training, hands-on healing, and blessed foot massage.

Nikorn holds weekly meditations at Roseberry, so if new age and energy healing interests you, get yourself up to Roseberry in Surin.
