Season of Healing at Amilla Maldives: Visiting Practitioners Shyam and Kattia Mendoza
Amilla Maldives is pleased to welcome two esteemed Visiting Practitioners, Shyam from the Himalayas and Kattia Mendoza from Ecuador, who will offer distinctive wellness experiences across consecutive seasons in 2025.
From 08 August to 20 September, Shyam brings a rich lineage of Ayurvedic healing from Nepal, blending ancient Eastern traditions with modern therapies. His practice includes Ayurveda, Yoga, Sound Healing, massage therapy, acupuncture, and energy work designed to foster balance, clarity, and inner calm. Guests can indulge in bespoke offerings such as Massage Alchemy—a personalised therapeutic fusion, Ayurvedic Rebalancing with Sound Healing, Cupping Therapy Massage, Reiki Healing, and Himalayan Sound Healing. Complementary mindful movement sessions including Classical Hatha Yoga, meditation, and Aerial Yoga provide holistic support. Bespoke retreats focusing on Detox and Rejuvenation, Stress Management, or Longevity begin with a tailored Ayurvedic wellness consultation.
Following Shyam’s residency, from 20 September to 07 December, Kattia Mendoza offers restorative sessions drawing on somatic movement, osteo-Thai therapy, breath coaching, and conscious communication. With over a decade of global experience, Kattia’s one-on-one sessions include Osteo-Thai Therapy, a unique blend of Thai massage, osteopathy, and acupressure—and The Nervous System Reset, a breath-led session incorporating acupressure and humming. She also guides personalized somatic movement sessions like Back in Shape and Hips Opening, alongside Somatic Breath Meditation and Unmasking coaching to support emotional release. Group experiences and complimentary taster classes further foster connection and self-awareness.
Both practitioners’ residencies exemplify Amilla Maldives’ ongoing commitment to meaningful, restorative wellness journeys crafted to nurture long-term wellbeing.
