Frequent Flyer Well-Being
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
As altitude increases, atmosphere changes in terms of air composition, pressure and other forces.
While advancements in aviation and aeronautics have made flying accessible to all, the human body’s terrestrial make-up still undergoes adjustments to adapt to all the changes resulting from necessary cabin pressure, changes in time zone, radiation exposure, and more.
Pilots, cabin crew, and air marshals in particular have extended amounts of exposure compared to the average frequent flier, and as such put a heavier strain on their bodies.
The Farm’s specialized Flight and Cabin Crew Wellness Program aims to improve and sustain the health of aviators and in-flight personnel.
The program’s components are meant to optimize cellular repair, which is crucial in disease prevention and preservation of telomere, which among other important parameters, accounts for the body’s youthful vigor.
The program aims to raise the body’s adaptability, resiliency, and immune intelligence, to withstand the effects of constant airtime.

Fitness Assessment is a one-on-one discussion with our certified fitness professionals to evaluate 4 key fitness areas: aerobic fitness; muscular strength and endurance; flexibility; and body composition in a holistic approach to achieve your fitness goals.
Cellular Health Screening
This is an introduction to health-consciousness to every guest and those who want to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle using one’s blood as seen live under a dark field microscope.
The blood is a very special part of the human body, it transports substances that stir a person’s feelings and consciousness more than any other bodily fluid. It is an educational experience-base tour through visual appreciation of one’s overall health status through the quality of the red and white blood cells. It gives a glimpse of what’s happening inside the body and as well as information on possible nutritional deficiencies and toxicities, it is based on the foundations of histology (study of cells) and hematology (study of blood). It can show manifestations of inflammation, oxidative stress and internal organ imbalance.
Vital Test for Heavy Metals, Minerals and Vitamins
A diagnostic device that determines the levels of heavy metals, minerals and vitamins in the body by employing the principle of Spectrophotometry. Heavy metal toxicity, mineral imbalances and vitamin deficiencies are a few of the underlying common causes of illness.
Psychoemotional Clearing
Involves a combination of any techniques that help clear mental confusion, reveal psycho emotional scars, and break free from negative emotional imprisonment which is the root cause of many physical ailments and disharmonies. This is highly recommended for those who are high-strung and highly-irritable, those who see life as an experience of unfreedom.
Brain Biofeedback
The machine scans the electromagnetic fields produced by our neural cells and calculate possible for alterations in our nervous system.
Sensory Deprivation Floatation
A sensory deprivation water pod saturated with 454kgs of Epsom salt (Magnesium sulfate) that allows the body to float without effort. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and is therefore ideal for those with tight muscles or muscle pains. Likewise, Magnesium is known as a light-bearing molecule which affords a sense of lightness to the individual during or after the session.
Dolphin Neurostim – Myofascial Pain Therapy
A needleless device applies direct microcurrents in acupuncture points to reduce sympathetic stress to reduction of soft tissue pain and relieves body wide pain.

Not advisable for pregnant women and with cardiac pacemaker implants. Consult our medical team of doctors prior to treatment.
Physiotherapy
This is rehabilitation and physical medicine which uses manual therapy to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability. Using no devices or machines, our skilled and highly trained Physical Therapists use only their hands for myofascial release, joints, muscles and spinal manipulation and other specialized techniques to optimize function, control, balance and symmetry of the body. Combination therapies like Acupuncture, Myotherapy, and Cupping may be added to further improve and accelerate healing.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a major component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acknowledged by WHO as a safe and evidence-based effective treatment. It involves the insertion of fine, thin and sterile needles into the skin and in the muscles. This results in the body producing natural substances like pain-relieving endorphins. Only duly certified and licensed Acupuncturists supervised by a medical doctor perform this procedure. The combination of Cupping and/or Myotherapy can further enhance the efficacy of Acupuncture.

Magnetic Clay Heavy Metal Foot Detox
Magnetic Clay Foot Treatment involves soaking the feet in a warm solution of high-grade magnetic clay with special herbs. Clay has the ability to produce an electrical charge when in solution. The electrical charge gives it its ability to absorb toxins like a magnet. The Farm uses a special clay proven in various studies to be superior in its pulling power to absorb toxic chemicals, impurities, and heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, etc. This procedure is a safe and effective aid in detoxification by releasing years of toxic environmental pollutants that have been accumulating in the body, organs, tissues and cells. This is highly recommended for smokers and those with history of exposure to cigarettes like passive smokers.
Tres Banyos Lunas
Herbal Bath, Traditional Steaming & Hilot Tapal Massage
The treatment begins with a bath filled with a blend of Filipino healing wonders - traditional herbs, pinagbagang, lupang, punsong, and tuob are inhaled to awaken your senses, before indulging in a warm glass bottle massage with tapal-tapal balot (a wrap filled with medicinal herbs) to encourage the release of excess dampness or heat.

Far infrared rays are naturally present at sunrise and sunset and are perfectly compatible with the body when they penetrate deep into the tissues. They emit the ideal energy to stimulate at the cellular level and promote natural regenerative processes that are vital and beneficial to the body.

tiredness. Using long soothing strokes your therapist will lure you into a calm, peaceful space for both your body and mind.

Functional Training, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Functional Fitness involves training the body for the activities performed in everyday life.
FITNESS CLASSES;
Functional fitness training is a type of strength training that readies your body for daily activities. These exercises equip you for the most important type of physical fitness, the kind that preps you for real-life, daily living stuff like bending, twisting, lifting, loading, pushing, pulling, squatting and hauling.
High-Intensity Interval Training- HIIT – It takes your cardio-work out to another level, as you push your pace out of your comfort zone. You can use HIIT with any type of cardio workout, whether it’s running, using a stair climbing machine, rowing, or jumping rope. You’ll work up a sweat fast, working at a very intense level and then backing off for a slower recovery period, followed by another round of high intensity.
That strategy can save you time: You don’t have to work out as long as you would if you were keeping a steady pace. You’ll lose weight, build muscle, and boost your metabolism. Plus there’s a post-workout bonus: Your body will burn calories for about 2 hours after you exercise.
Sound healing uses vibrations (vocal or instrumental-like gongs, Tibetan singing bowls and tuning forks) in order to relax the body, mind and soul. Some proponents also believe it can relieve certain ailments including pain, anxiety, depression or insomnia.
Sound therapy is a clinical and evidence-based therapy used for dealing with mental health issues, such as anxiety, pain and sleep disorders. These issues are usually caused by high levels of tension and stress. Sound healing brings one to a relaxed state with sounds created by singing bowls, tuning forks and other resonant musical instruments, including the human voice. Recent research suggests that in counseling sessions, it can be a catalyst for emotional healing used in combination with other modalities such as meditation, deep breathing and visualization.
Healing through sound and music is an ancient cultural tradition. The Aboriginal people of Australia were the first known to practice sound healing using a wind instrument called a didgeridoo. They first played it 40,000 years ago, making it one of the world’s oldest instruments.
SOUND HEALING CLASSES
In this sixty-minute session, the sound healer will use the frequencies and vibrations of Tibetan Singing Bowls and other healing instruments to provide deep relaxation while the client stays in a comfortable position.

Organic Farm Tour
The Farm’s 5,700+ sqm. organic vegetable & herb garden is an example of organic precision agriculture. Everything grown on the land has been designed to fit the farm’s culinary needs. The Farm is designed to have a seasonal rotation of crops for a true sustainable, organic farm-to-table experience.
Food waste from the kitchen is transported daily and segregated accordingly – with some fed to the animals and the rest added to the compost area where both agricultural and biodegradable wastes are treated. It’s here that we create natural fertilizers by allowing the waste to ferment aerobically with microorganisms.
By growing majority of our produce on-site, The Farm is not only increasing food security but also reducing our carbon footprint by limiting the transport of food. Guests may enjoy the food knowing exactly how it’s grown, where it comes from, and who is involved in the process.
Shivling Rituals
The Shivling rituals are a vital part of Hindu tradition, symbolizing the divine essence of Lord Shiva and his formless nature. Devotees perform abhishekam, pouring water, milk, and honey over the Shivling, each representing purity, nourishment, and sweetness, signifying surrender and devotion. Accompanied by mantras like “Om Namah Shivaya,” bells, and incense, these rituals create a rich spiritual atmosphere. Often observed during auspicious occasions like Maha Shivaratri, they reflect profound faith and the pursuit of inner peace, enabling devotees to dissolve the ego and connect with the divine.
