I own The Mango Tree Spa, and the creation of this space brings together years of journeying and growing. Back in the States, I owned a successful Stress Management and Biofeedback & Neurofeedback Center.

I grew up in a troubled Indonesia, and I have spent a lifetime researching and learning. I have been to Himalayas twice to research on breathing, and have been to China to study intensive ChiQong. In the Amazon I learned about the plants of the rainforest, and learned more about myself by researching my family's history in Australia. I have slain my share of a 'dragons', and learned how and when to let go of things; and to stand up when I believed in something. I finally landed in Costa Rica building this spa for the ultimate test to find out if I had what it takes, and on many levels, this was my most difficult 'assignment' yet. And now I'm thrilled to be able to offer you this wonderful space in which to grow, heal, learn and feel inspired. I offer an extensive range of wonderful treatments, along with both resident and visiting therapists.

I would be delighted to personally take you through how The Mango Tree Spa can support you. today for more information or book your stay here.
