The Hiraya Promise: Beyond Temporary Fixes to Lasting Transformation
Hiraya Wellness Retreat is a fusion of time-honored healing practices and cutting-edge scientific methods. Here, profound breakthroughs and shifts in perspective aren’t just possible—they’re expected.
Leave with tools for sustained wellness, unshakable clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose that will elevate every area of your life.
Why Choose Hiraya Wellness Retreat?
At Hiraya Wellness Retreat, every transformation is built on three pillars: the right setting, the right treatment, and the right support. Together, they create the foundation for deep, lasting change.
The Right Setting
Setting is everything when it comes to root cause healing—or in unlocking the next level of your potential. Without full focus, true transformation is nearly impossible.
Our private island sanctuary in Palawan offers the perfect space to quiet the mind, open the heart, and think with clarity unlike anywhere else. Whether you’re here to heal deep wounds or to refine the mindset that fuels your success, the environment frees you from the noise of daily life so you can explore new ideas, uncover hidden strengths, and expand your vision for the future.
Here, nature isn’t just scenery—it’s an active part of your growth, woven into every activity and experience.
Scientific studies show that time in nature reduces stress, sharpens focus, and enhances decision-making.
At Hiraya, we harness this natural power to create the ideal environment for reflection, restoration, and profound personal breakthroughs. You’ll feel it from the very moment you arrive.
The Right Treatment
Some breakthroughs can’t be reached through conventional methods alone. At Hiraya, we employ rare, highly specialized approaches—reserved for those ready to explore the deeper dimensions of the mind and spirit.
If you’re navigating emotional challenges, these treatments help dissolve long-standing barriers and restore balance. If you’ve already achieved success, they’ll sharpen your mental edge, heighten creativity, and deepen your sense of purpose—unlocking possibilities you may not have imagined.
Each session is an immersive experience, blending the precision of modern science with the depth of ancient practices proven over centuries. Every element is backed by research yet designed to feel unlike anything you’ve ever encountered—opening pathways to insight, clarity, and peak performance.
This is not about quick fixes. It’s about guided processes that leave you with lasting change, an unshakable connection to your truest self, and a renewed sense of what’s possible.
The Right Support
At Hiraya Wellness Retreat, we’re more than traditional psychiatrists or retreat facilitators—we’re your partners on the path to deep, lasting transformation.
Our experienced team, led by Dr. Noreen Molina, draws on 20+ years of psychiatry to help unravel the layers that shape who you are today. Together, we map patterns, address inner saboteurs, and use insights from your past and present to chart a clearer, healthier future. For some, that means healing long-standing wounds. For others, it’s about refining the mindset, focus, and self-mastery that drive exceptional results.
Grounded in science and complemented by time-honored, research-supported practices, our approach blends modern evidence with proven traditions for a truly holistic and effective experience.
You’ll also be guided by expert facilitators: Stephen Yanga—Yoga Instructor, Sound Healer, and Plant Medicine Guide—helps you build inner awareness and resilience; and Mac Balbin, an experienced Sound Healer and Plant Medicine Guide, integrates mindfulness with ancient healing to foster harmony and growth.
Together, they help you cultivate balance, resilience, and the confidence to face life’s challenges—whether those challenges are personal, professional, or at the peak of your career.
Through our introspective workshops, you’ll leave with simple, repeatable tools for self-control, emotional regulation, and clear decision-making—designed to help you handle future life stressors and seize new opportunities well beyond the retreat.
These tools deliver the greatest benefits when practiced consistently.
Our support continues after you leave the island, ensuring your breakthroughs translate into sustainable change in everyday life.
Together, these elements create a program that participants often describe as life-changing—and, in their own words, “priceless.”
