Reconnect with Your Inner-Self at the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Chiang Mai

The Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, Chiang Mai, has launched a new Wellness Retreat, designed to offer guests the chance to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect.

Available from August 2008 through February 2009, “Reconnecting with Your Inner-Self” is a six-day/seven-night retreat devised by the hotel’s Director of Wellness, Jennifer Simms, that will incorporate group workshops, one-on-one sessions, specialised treatments, healthy spa cuisine, local cultural events and daily wellness activities such as yoga, meditation, tai chi, mantra chanting and spiritual exercises.

The Reconnecting with Your Inner-Self Wellness Retreat is scheduled for 28 August to 3 September, and will be facilitated by Dr Petra Muller-Rupprecht MD, a renowned general practitioner and specialist in psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy, whose experience has been gained from many years studying and practicing in Europe.

“It is my deepest wish to connect body, mind and spirit, integrating all my knowledge from all different levels of my studies. When a human being understands himself deeply he is able to create his unique path to fulfil life at its best,” explains Dr Muller-Rupprecht.

Dr Muller-Rupprecht studied in Erlangen and Munich and has significant experience in psychoanalysis and homeopathy. After her clinical years she maintained a private practice near Munich for 15 years focusing on holistic medicine. Relocating to Italy in 1999, she developed her own coaching concept using tools acquired during intensive private studies into Eastern and Western philosophies, astrology and shamanism. Today she specialises in psychological and spiritual coaching for various purposes pertaining to life-changing situations, chronic or acute diseases and personal crisis. This she carries out in English, German and Italian.
