The menu is designed to complement the practice by promoting better energy flow, recovery, and overall vitality.

Exclusive Energy Healing Sessions with Master Franz

Master Franz Polanen Darmasada, a celebrated intuitive energy healer, will be in residence for personalized Energy Healing and Meridian Therapy sessions. Drawing on ancient techniques to realign the body's energy flow, these sessions address chronic stress, pain, and emotional imbalances, promoting deep relaxation and renewed vitality. Tailored to individual needs, each experience incorporates targeted pressure points, energy alignment, and a serene rest period, making it ideal for those facing low energy, sleep disturbances, or physical ailments like back pain and joint issues. 

What to expect from a 90-minute session with Master Franz

Each 90-minute session is meticulously tailored to the individual, beginning with a gentle consultation where Master Franz engages in an open, empathetic conversation to understand the specific physical, emotional, or energetic challenges you are facing—whether chronic pain, persistent stress, emotional imbalances, low vitality, or sleep disturbances. This is followed by a thorough assessment of your body and mental state, allowing him to intuitively identify energy blockages, imbalances in the meridians, and areas needing attention.

The core treatment then unfolds through his expert, hands-on techniques: targeted pressure point work, gentle energy realignment, and intuitive clearing to dissolve tensions, restore harmonious flow, ease muscular restrictions, and awaken the body's natural healing responses. The session culminates in a serene 30-minute rest period in a peaceful setting, enabling profound integration, deep relaxation, and emotional release—often leaving guests feeling lighter, more centered, and renewed.

Master Franz’s sessions are available on select dates: April 1–30, 2026; July 1–August 8, 2026; and November 16–December 21, 2026. Priced at HKD 3,200 per 90-minute session, spaces are strictly limited—early booking is highly recommended.

It enhances circulation, relieves deep-seated muscle tension, unlocks mobility by targeting "knots" and stiffness, accelerates recovery from overuse or sports injuries, reduces pain by calming sensitive nerves, and boosts blood flow through precise press-and-release actions..

Ideal for those with muscle strain from poor posture, repetitive use, or limited flexibility impacting movement and sleep, sessions restore physical balance and profound relaxation.
