Today marks a new chapter in Malaysia’s healthcare and wellness industry with the official opening of Sanctuary Wellness Center in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur. Situated at Wisma Miramas, the center introduces a fresh approach to holistic care by combining clinical psychiatry, functional medicine, and advanced bio-hacking technologies under one roof. The grand opening ceremony was officiated by Teresa Kok and attended by several local personalities including Zain Saidin, Baki Zainal, Peter Davis, Lavin Seow, Zoee Tan, Yelin and Chan Khye.
During the launch event, Teresa Kok highlighted the increasing importance of mental health awareness and overall wellness among Malaysians. She noted that community-focused wellness initiatives such as Sanctuary Wellness Center play an important role in helping individuals achieve healthier and more balanced lifestyles. The center aims to redefine modern wellness by focusing on both emotional and physical well-being through science-backed treatments and compassionate care.
Built on the philosophy of “Holistic Care for Body & Mind,” Sanctuary Wellness Center is designed as a high-performance wellness hub that addresses stress, trauma, aging, and overall health optimization. The center combines evidence-based psychological treatments with biological interventions that focus on improving health at the cellular level. Its approach reflects the growing demand for integrated healthcare solutions that prioritize long-term resilience and vitality.
Sanctuary Wellness Center is co-founded by two respected experts in the fields of psychiatry and integrative medicine. Dr. Renee Tan Huey Jing is a consultant psychiatrist with extensive experience in Malaysia’s public and private healthcare sectors. She holds a Master’s Degree in Psychological Medicine from University of Malaya and has received specialized training in psychotherapy approaches including EMDR and Interpersonal Therapy. Dr. Renee believes mental health should be treated as an essential part of overall well-being and hopes the center can provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking emotional healing and personal growth.
Joining her is Dr. Edward Chan, a psychologist and integrative medicine expert with doctoral research experience from the University of Oxford. With over two decades of experience in anti-aging and functional medicine, Dr. Chan focuses on optimizing brain health, longevity, and biological performance. He emphasized that true wellness extends beyond symptom management and should involve improving the body, mind, and biological systems together for sustainable health outcomes.
Sanctuary Wellness Center also introduces several advanced therapies and wellness programs rarely available within a single facility in Malaysia. Among the services offered are Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for neurodegenerative recovery and mental sharpness, Harmony Hub for emotional regulation through mindfulness and creative therapies, and regression therapy that helps individuals process unresolved emotional experiences. The center also offers mitochondrial health optimization through BIXEPS® technology, which supports muscle recovery and cellular energy enhancement.
Another highlight is the Sexual Health and Wellness Program using Shockwave Storz technology, inspired by methods recommended by internationally known bio-hacker Bryan Johnson. The program supports physical rehabilitation and sexual wellness through LunaWell and WellMan treatments. In addition, physiotherapy and rehabilitation services are available to help individuals improve mobility, strength, and overall recovery.
With its people-centered philosophy, Sanctuary Wellness Center aims to bridge the gap between mental healthcare, physical rehabilitation, and lifestyle wellness in Malaysia. By offering personalized treatment plans and evidence-based therapies, the center hopes to support individuals in achieving long-term health improvements in a compassionate and professional setting.
Located at Wisma Miramas in Taman Desa, Sanctuary Wellness Center welcomes the public to experience a new era of wellness that combines science, innovation, and holistic healing. More information about the center and its services can be found via Sanctuary Wellness Center.
