Working in hand with Dr Govind Tiwadi, Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, they offer truly holistic and personalised programmes to guests, all with the goal to restore more youthful function.

The results are then analysed along with Dr Govind Tiwadi and his team to create the best programme, bespoke to that guest, including post-stay follow up for long-term results.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, for which the centre is famous, are ancient systems in preventative therapies and the programmes take in this knowledge to create lasting results.
