At Thera we accept a very high standard of duty of care. We make every effort to attain premium levels of clinical governance, discretion, safety and comfort for all those in our care.
Our Guests
We are fully aware that our guests often come from high profile and affluent backgrounds, living under continuous pressure of social expectations and financial responsibilities. Our programs have been designed specifically with these challenges in mind.
The symptoms our guests describe include:

- Sleep disruption
- Sadness / Anxiety

Deeper issues that Thera programs treat
Stress
We all experience stress. What really matters is our ability to self-regulate our response to stressful triggers in the environment, whatever they may be. Many of us find ourselves in a loop of habitual stress response so the baseline of our nervous system is continually out of balance. This creates mental confusion, poor decision making, emotional malaise and eventually important physical problems and illness.
Thera uses a wide range of modalities to help our guests regulate stress in their lives – from Heart Coherence practice, Pranayama, Trauma Release exercises to mindful movement techniques such as different forms of yoga or martial arts.
Our Thera zero-protocol program taps into the fast emerging power of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, enabling us to rewire our brains through creating new neural pathways so we can successfully self-regulate our stress responses and return to renewal and homeostasis.
Anxiety
Chronic anxiety and worry poison our systems. They affect our genes and the hormones they produce in our bodies. A great question to ask oneself is “Does my worry really help me?”
At Thera we teach how to remove the habit of unnecessary anxiety and worry through concise educational sessions explaining the science of our nervous systems and our subconscious minds. This knowledge then enables the practice of simple self-regulatory techniques that return our systems to optimum states of renewal, vitality and skillful decision making. Our program incorporates Indonesian martial arts, yoga, meditation, and heart-coherence techniques using HeartMath technology as well as acupuncture and optimum nutrition.
The success of our Zero Protocol program is that the guest learns how to incorporate self-regulation into their daily life, creating an optimal lifestyle of their own choosing.
Executive Burnout
Thera Executive Burnout Treatment offers solutions to hard-working people who often find themselves trapped by their success, their wealth, their leadership positions or the responsibilities they have acquired in life. This chronic burnout leads to exhaustion, apathy, pervading feelings of sadness and a wide range of physical ailments.
At Thera, using our unique Zero Protocol™ program, we restore our guests’ well being and mental clarity to optimum states, while nutrition, daily structure, body movement/exercise provide improved health, increased energy and a passion to create the ideal version of oneself.
Depression
Many of our guests at Thera present with symptoms of depression to some degree or another – from having no energy to get out of bed through to a generalized sensation of ‘having no wind in the sails’. Our Zero Protocol programs are very successful in transforming these states into an experience of energy, hope, ambition, and joy. Using standard modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and mindfulness combined with Thera-based techniques to ignite neurogenesis, Quantum Theory practices quickly develop gratitude, ambition, inspiration and love for life. The clinical modalities are lovingly supported by healthy body movement, peaceful rice-field surroundings, and breathing techniques. Guests can chart their progress while using heart coherence software and learn how to self-regulate their own thoughts and emotional states.
Thera is proud of our menu of inspirational off-site experiences in rural Bali – from purification in the water-temples to anger release in art therapy with leading Balinese artists. Watching sunrise from the peak of a volcano, learning to dive or surf – these are all excellent opportunities to create a brand-new sense of self and happiness.
Addiction
Thera offers bespoke programs for all forms of addiction. During their stay at Thera the guest will progress through four stages in their program. Using Gestalt enquiry, succinct scientific educational sessions, therapeutic writing, conscious movement and meditative practices, a new sense of self appears. Through talking therapy with our compassion based clinicians, the guest gains new perspective by hearing themself think.
Clarity replaces confusion, hope replaces desperation and through surrender power is attained. Desperation becomes a gift that creates freedom and an ideal sense of self. Many of our guests come to us in a ‘spiritual emergency’ – skillfully treated this desperation transforms into an ‘emerging of the spirit’.
Compulsive Behaviour
Thera’s bespoke treatments and collaborative treatment plans allow for flexibility to design a program for each single client’s clinical needs. Therapeutic writing, self-examination, meditation, nutritional guidance and creation of healthy routines are the foundational tools to find relief and begin a whole new way of life of your own choosing.
Codependency
Many guests at Thera can be identified on the broad spectrum of co-dependency. We often find a deep exploration into childhood and family of origin is extremely helpful. We identify any complex childhood trauma that may have occurred, as well as negative self-image acquired while growing up.
Our Zero Protocol approach allows access to the subconscious mind where trauma and negative beliefs are stored, seemingly controlling who we are and how we live. Through simple and effective evidence based practices we can transform our habitual view of ourselves and the world. In codependency we develop poor dynamics with others, and guests benefit by learning non-aggressive communication techniques which help transform the dynamics in the relationships with important people in their lives.
Screen Use Disorder (ScUD) / Screen Addiction
Computers, smart phones, smart tv’s, tablets and the internet are modern wonders that have transformed the world we live in. They allow us a nearly infinite access to information, entertainment and have vastly improved our ability to communicate with others way beyond our physical location.
Sadly, there is growing evidence that use of these technologies can also have very serious negative effects. Research shows that screen use can activate high levels of dopamine in the reward pathways of our brains – as powerfully as sex does. This means that many people just want more and more of the ‘good feelings’ screens can give us. This strong dopaminergic effect can drive unhealthy screen use, leading to numerous negative consequences in our performance and interest in other aspects of life, such as:
- Loss of interest in social life and recreational activities
- Continued over-use of screens, despite negative consequences – lack of sleep, poor mental clarity, lateness, neglecting priorities, financial mismanagement, poor health.
- Deceit, dishonesty, covering up and shame about excessive screen use.
- Screen use to avoid difficult feelings and personal problems
- Harming or losing relationships and opportunities.
- At Thera, we treat ScUD compassionately by helping the guest raise awareness of the seriousness of the condition. Using our Zero Protocol approach, we design bespoke programs for each guest which enables them to find inspiration and interest in the physical world around them.
