A centre of serenity

It is a haven of peace and tranquillity, a place for self-discovery and personal growth. Called Serenity S.R.C., a new natural therapy centre has opened its doors to people from all walks of life in the UAE.

Besides offering a healthy lifestyle option, the centre offers courses, workshops and individual consultations in the various natural approaches to holistic health.

Located in Al Mazaya Centre, Dubai, the healing centre was officially inaugurated by internationally-acclaimed Reiki master and author Dr Paula Horan yesterday.

"In today's society, stress is known to be one of the main contributors to imbalances in our lives. It is our objective to spread awareness with the help of natural therapies as there are healthy alternatives to creating a balance in our being and reducing the negative effects of stress," says Saloni Dewan, owner of Serenity Specialised Rehabilitation Centre.

The purpose is two-fold. You can receive healing and/or go for a range of learning opportunities through classes run by qualified instructors.

The selection of therapies available currently include yoga, meditation, rebirthing, reflexology, lama-fera, colour therapy, energy healing, I Ching, Feng-Shui and various other techniques of Reiki.
