RELEASING EMOTIONAL BLOCKS AND TRAUMA – INTERNATIONAL HEALING EXPERT PHIL DAVIES BRINGS VIBRATIONAL ATTUNEMENT TO OMAN’S GREEN MOUNTAIN

Jabal Akhdar, Oman Set high on Oman’s Green Mountain, where altitude, stillness and pristine air create a natural environment for deep restoration, Jala Spa & Wellness at Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa announces the arrival of Phil Davies, an internationally respected wellness practitioner specialising in Vibrational Attunement Healing, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and hypnotherapy.
Running from 18 March to 30 April 2026, Phil’s residency forms part of Jala’s Visiting Practitioners Programme, which brings globally recognised specialists to Oman for time-limited wellness experiences rarely available in the region.
With more than 20 years of international practice, Phil has worked extensively across Asia, Europe and the Middle East, holding residencies at some of the world’s most respected wellness destinations. His work focuses on guiding clients beyond trauma, emotional overload and deeply ingrained belief systems, helping restore clarity, confidence and a grounded sense of self.
At the core of Phil’s practice is Vibrational Attunement Healing, a powerful form of energy work often described as “Reiki on steroids”. Each session works across the physical, emotional and mental body, combining subtle energy repair, chakra balancing and deep grounding to support lasting transformation.
“True healing happens when we address the emotional and energetic layers beneath physical symptoms,” says Phil Davies. “My work is about helping people reconnect with themselves, release what no longer serves them, and move forward with clarity and ease.”
Signature Treatments Available During the Residency
- Vibrational Attunement Healing (60 / 90 minutes – OMR 70++ / 90++):
A deeply immersive energy healing session supporting emotional release, nervous-system regulation and renewed mental clarity.
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) (60 / 90 minutes – OMR 70++ / 90++):
A needle-free, evidence-based technique that helps neutralise emotional responses linked to trauma, anxiety, phobias and limiting beliefs.

A guided approach to accessing the unconscious mind to address stress, behavioural patterns, anxiety and long-standing emotional blocks.
Perched 2,000 metres above sea level, Jala Spa & Wellness provides an exceptional setting for this work. The spa blends regional heritage with contemporary wellness design, creating an environment where emotional and energetic therapies can reach their fullest potential.
The Visiting Practitioners Programme continues to position Jala Spa & Wellness as a regional hub for specialised, transformative wellness experiences – appealing to travellers seeking more than relaxation, and instead looking for meaningful, inner change.
