Healing in Bali
Thanks to books and movies like Eat, Pray, Love, Bali has become famously known as a place of healing and spirituality. Maybe it’s the abundance of nature across the island, or perhaps it’s the locals who offer prayer several times a day. Who knows? Whatever you attribute the high vibes to – we recommend you take advantage of them and tap into the serenity at one of our stunning Bali holiday hideaways.Villa Karang Saujana
And if a timeout in a luxury villa isn’t enough, we’ve got some tried and tested recommendations to get your healing process started! There are massage therapists, bodyworkers, life coaches, reiki healers and even a Balinese priest to help you get back to your energetic, happy self. You can thanks us later 🙂
Get an orthopedic massage from Giant – Amo Spa Bali
Although it’s not his given name, Giant is a fair description of this gorgeous Balinese man with hands the size of plates. You can find him at Amo Spa in Canggu. He takes bookings for all sorts of massage, but we recommend the relaxing full body treatment which is designed by an orthopedic surgeon and then delivered with the power of a gentle giant.
Try the 90-minute rejuvenation massage which is pressure point focused and has the added benefit of hot stones. You’ll walk away with all of those aches and pains released. We recommend you indulge in some foot reflexology while you’re there and choose one of Amo’s natural oils. They’re made organically by the chemists on site. You can select an uplifting blend like minty Jojo or something more relaxing like vanilla love.
Further to this, if you are really sore from working out, or you have chronic pain problems try the combination sauna, spa and salt plunge pool. The temperature changes as you toggle back and forwards between the pools restores blood flow to your vital organs, increases circulation and helps to eliminate toxins.
Visit Cokorda Rai – A Balinese Healer in Ubud
Cokorda Rai is a medicine man (Balian) based in Ubud. He’s well known and uses a combination of Reiki, pressure points and empathic healing methods to assess your body. He’ll start by asking you a few questions and then explain the deeper meaning behind your physical or emotional pain. You’ll come away with some advice on what to eat and possibly some recommendations for vitamins to take. He may also use small sticks to prod pressure points in your feet to move the energy around. You’ll need to cover your shoulders, wear a sarong and bring an offering with a small amount of money in return for the treatment. Ask your villa manager to organise transport to take you there but be prepared to wait awhile for your treatment as people come from all over the world to visit this man.
Address: Jl. Raya Singapadu, Singapadu Tengah, Sukawati, Gianyar, Bali 80582, Indonesia.

See a High Priestess – Ibu Jero
Ibu Jero is a fifth generation Balinese high priestess who is gifted at helping clients let go of old fears and beliefs that may be holding them back. A visit to this healer requires an open mind and a change of clothes as she uses water as part of the healing ceremony. You can visit her by yourself or as part of the group. Awkward alert: She uses Reiki to extract blocks from your body and then burps them out during your session so try not to giggle as she releases that negative energy through her mouth. The lovely thing about Ibu Jero is that she’s happy to answer your questions after the healing, so if you’re confused about anything, don’t hesitate to ask for clarification Your visit may include a trip to a cave or waterfall if you’re in a group so don’t hesitate to bring a photographer. You’ll leave feeling lighter and more positive about the world, even if you’re unsure about what just happened.
