About Total Wellness Retreats
About Our Founders
was established by three passionate individuals whose unique life journeys into wellness intersected during the 2020 pandemic when fear and despair were inflicting people around the world. They felt the need to inspire by teaching, to help by guiding the way to wellbeing, and to heal by offering solutions to every person’s problem. The one-on-one sessions were specially created to open a space where people can find their way to self discovery and self love.
Dr. Rex Gloria
Preventive & Longevity Medicine Co-Founder Total Wellness Retreats
Dr Rex Gloria dedicated most of his adult life in the practice of preventive medicine and this very passion to help others has taught him the most important lesson in his 18 years of being a doctor – which is “healers need healing too”. Having been the well sought-after physician in the Philippines, Dr Rex recognized that money and fame are worth nothing if his personal life is riddled with stress, anxiety, and anger. He closed his medical practice at the height of his career, packed his bags, and chose a life of a recluse in the northern part of Thailand where he found solitude to discover himself and to practice self-care. It was during his two-years of sabbatical from work that he was able to calm his nervous system through meditation and embrace a happier disposition by taking care of his gut.
Ali Young
Sound Healer & Reiki Master Co-Founder Total Wellness Retreats
Ali Young was born in London, England to a well-respected working class family. But in spite of being provided with a good education and living environment, Ali felt a strong yearning to discover his true self and so he left England to travel the world at 17.
He searched far and wide and his journey took him to hitchhike around Australia, to live in the Malaysian jungle with the Orang Asli tribes, and to finally settle in Thailand in 1999. The Thai Kingdom introduced Ali to the local culture and so he commenced to dive deeper into his interiority through various meditation practices and Buddhist traditions. It was in 2011, during a trip to Bali, that Ali had his first experience hearing Tibetan metal bowls being played in a yoga event. He fell in love with the sounds and vibrations that paved the way for him to learn from various masters in different traditions such as the Nepalese, Western and Indian styles making him equally versed with both playing the Tibetan metal and the quartz crystal bowls. He then opened a wellness studio in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand in 2018 which he named Chiang Mai Holistic to help a specific community of people who are suffering from addictive behavior and mental health. To date, Ali has taught more than 900 students from all over the world and his healing talent has rippled out from one community of seeking individuals to another.
