This February, Amilla Maldives is set to welcome holistic wellness practitioner, Dr Fabio Massimo Paciucci, for a one-month restorative wellness residency. Located in the tranquil Javvu Spa, a serene jungle-clad sanctuary steps away from the crystal clear waters and white sandy shores of the natural island resort. Dr Fabio Massimo Paciucci supports guests’ relaxation, restoration and balance with transformational workshops and treatments.

This perfectly aligns with Amilla Maldives’ holistic philosophy that invites guests to embrace restoration, enhanced mindfulness and amplified stillness. Dr Fabio’s residency focuses on healing and rejuvenation, helping guests find peace and balance.

A certified Transformational Breath Facilitator and Hatha Yoga instructor, Dr Fabio incorporates a wide range of holistic wellness practices. These include shiatsu, chakra activation and restorative treatments that support optimal wellness and emotional balance.

Integrating Master level Reiki and ancient Russian shamanic practices, Dr Fabio helps guests address energetic blockages that may be affecting the wellbeing of the mind and body. Dr Fabio uses the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Energy Medicine principles in his approach to Chinese classical medicine to empower clients in restoring and sustaining a state of peak wellbeing.

What Should I Expect?

With a dedicated healing treatment menu on offer during his residency, guests can choose to focus on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healing or regenerative treatments, or a combination of all three to truly soothe and restore mind, body and soul.

Those unsure of which wellbeing route to take can book a comprehensive initial consultation and treatment with Dr Fabio. Following a discussion on health history, lifestyle and current symptomatology, Dr Fabio crafts a tailored treatment plan for the individual formulated to take a holistic approach to health.

Guests seeking to explore the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine can choose to book a 60-minute acupuncture treatment or a 30-minute auricular acupuncture session. These focus on pressure points in the ear and utilise the application of needles, magnets, crystals and ear seeds. How can this support you? Both treatments can aid stress management, post-traumatic stress recovery, pain management, internal organ balance and mental as well as emotional balance.

How is This Different From Other Retreats?

Amilla Maldives’ healing treatments incorporate a wide range of approaches and methods, including:

• Gua sha uses a smooth-edged tool to promote the flow of energy around the body.

• Reiki uses palm healing to move your body’s energy.

• Cupping improves blood flow to promote healing within the body.

• Transformational breath sessions are an active form of meditation.

• Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an emotional form of needleless acupuncture. EFT is for those seeking to alleviate symptoms of pain, anxiety and/or emotional distress. This simple method of tapping various points on the body allows negative beliefs to exit the body and positive beliefs to enter.

Guests can also indulge themselves in uplifting facial therapies. To visibly enhance muscle tone and elasticity, Amilla Maldives offers Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture. Otherwise, lift and tone with the Facial Acu-points Stimulation Massage or boost collagen production and smooth fine wrinkles with Micro-needling and Hyaluronic Acid.
