Services & Treatments
Body Treatment
Each session begins with a short conversation where we explore what is currently happening in your body, mind, and everyday life. At Alaya Global, we work from the understanding that the body and the mind are deeply connected. Emotional pressure, stress, tension, or past experiences often settle in the body — and when these areas start to release, clients naturally feel a need to talk. Throughout the treatment, dialogue may arise, and I support you with therapeutic guidance whenever needed. The session is fluid and adapts to what your body expresses moment by moment. During the Treatment: You lie comfortably under a blanket, changing between back and front. For the best result, I recommend receiving the treatment in underwear (and bra/singlet if preferred), so I can work on the full body safely and effectively. The treatment includes deep tissue techniques, rhythmic movements, guided breathing, joint mobility work, and nervous system balancing. Everything is done gently, within your body’s natural limits, and with full respect and communication. What You May Experience: Many clients describe a deep sense of well-being after a session. Common effects include: A lighter, more open body Reduced tension and more space in your breath Increased mental clarity and emotional calm A stronger connection to your physical and emotional resources A feeling of ease, grounding and overall relief Your body begins to reset, and both your physical and mental capacity improve as the nervous system comes back into balance. Possible Reactions After the Session: It’s normal to feel mild soreness or tenderness in the body afterwards. This usually fades quickly. If you have held pain or tension for a long time, you may temporarily become more aware of those areas as the body reconnects with them. Emotional release can also appear — this is a natural part of letting go and integrating the treatment. If needed, I offer a short follow-up call or an additional session to support the process. How Many Sessions Do You Need?: There is no fixed number. Some clients come regularly for maintenance and well-being. Others come when a specific issue needs attention. If the body has been under strain for a long time, it may take several sessions to unwind the deeper layers. Together, we create a treatment plan that fits your needs, your schedule, and your goals. Joint Mobility Techniques: Alaya Global treatments include gentle mobility techniques that free tension in the joints and surrounding tissues. These movements are slow, controlled, and always within the body’s natural physiological range. They help restore flow, reduce restriction, and balance the body’s movement patterns — without manipulation or force. In Simple Terms: The session works on your whole system: your body, your breath, your emotions, and your nervous system. The goal is to reconnect you to your natural balance so you can move, breathe, and live with more freedom.
Psychotherapy
A psychotherapy session at Alaya Global provides a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, allowing you to move at your own pace and focus on what feels most important in your life at that moment. During the session, your therapist will gently guide you to uncover patterns, beliefs, and past experiences that influence how you respond to challenges today. This is a collaborative process: together, you explore the connections between your emotions, behaviors, and physical responses, creating insight into the root causes of stress, anxiety, or other emotional difficulties. Many clients notice that this work helps them gain clarity, strengthens emotional resilience, and improves their ability to navigate relationships with confidence and compassion. Over time, psychotherapy at Alaya Global supports deeper self-awareness, allowing you to better understand who you are, what you need, and how you want to engage with the world. The process is often both profound and practical. Clients leave sessions not only feeling heard and supported, but also equipped with strategies and tools to respond to life’s challenges in healthier and more empowering ways. Emotions that have been suppressed or difficult to express may surface, and your therapist provides gentle support to help you process them safely. Whether you are seeking to heal past trauma, manage current stress, or simply gain insight into your personal growth, Alaya Global’s psychotherapy sessions offer a holistic approach that nurtures both emotional and mental wellbeing.
Mental Coaching Training
At Alaya Global, our 1:1 Mental Coaching Training sessions are designed to support you in building clarity, focus, and resilience in both your personal and professional life. The sessions provide a structured yet flexible space where you can explore your current mindset, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and work towards meaningful change. We focus on understanding and reshaping mental habits, limiting beliefs, and automatic thought patterns that influence your daily decisions and emotional responses. By working with boundaries, goal setting, and personal priorities, you gain practical tools to manage stress, stay grounded under pressure, and navigate challenges with confidence. Each session is tailored to your individual needs. Through guided exercises, reflective conversations, and practical strategies, you learn how to regulate your emotions, enhance your focus, and respond to situations in ways that align with your values and long-term objectives. Mental coaching at Alaya Global is not about quick fixes—it’s about cultivating sustainable change and a mindset that empowers you to thrive. Clients often report a heightened sense of self-awareness, improved decision-making, and a stronger connection to their personal goals. Over time, this work enables you to move through life with greater ease, confidence, and flow, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
NADA Acupuncture
At Alaya Global, NADA acupuncture is offered as a gentle yet powerful treatment that supports both the nervous system and emotional balance. The NADA protocol uses five tiny, sterile needles placed in specific points on each ear. These points are connected to core areas of the brain and body that regulate stress, sleep, emotional stability, detoxification, and overall balance. How a NADA session unfolds at Alaya Global A session begins with a short check-in where we tune into how your system is doing—physically, mentally, and emotionally. You then sit or lie comfortably while the needles are placed. The process is almost painless; most clients barely feel the insertion and quickly drop into a calm, relaxed state. As the treatment begins, the body naturally shifts into a parasympathetic (rest-and-repair) state. Many clients feel their breath deepen, muscular tension soften, and their thoughts become quieter. Others describe the experience as grounding—like a reset or inner pause. You simply rest for 35–45 minutes while your system self-regulates. The treatment works silently and deeply while your therapist remains available for support. Short-term effects of NADA acupuncture Clients often experience immediate benefits, including: Deep relaxation and calm Reduced stress and anxiety Better sleep the same night Clearer thinking and emotional grounding Easier breathing and less physical tension A stronger sense of presence and inner stability Some may also experience emotional release, which is a natural sign that the nervous system is opening and letting go of built-up pressure. Long-term effects of regular NADA sessions When applied consistently, NADA acupuncture can create profound and lasting results. Over time, clients report: Stronger emotional resilience Improved stress tolerance in daily life More stable mood and fewer emotional fluctuations Deeper, more consistent sleep patterns Reduced cravings and compulsive habits Support during trauma recovery or major life transitions Clearer mental focus and decision-making A steady inner calm and sense of balance Recommended treatment frequency at Alaya Global For clients seeking the strongest results, we recommend repeated NADA sessions, especially in the first phase. A common and highly effective structure is: • One session every 3 days — 10 sessions over the span of one month. This creates a cumulative effect on the nervous system and allows your body to stabilize, integrate, and build long-term balance. Many clients choose to continue with weekly or bi-weekly maintenance sessions afterward. NADA becomes even more powerful when paired with bodywork, psychotherapy, or breathwork, depending on each client's needs and personal process. Why NADA works in the Alaya Global approach At Alaya Global, we view the body and mind as deeply interconnected. NADA helps regulate the nervous system—the foundation for emotional healing, physical recovery, and mental clarity. When the nervous system calms, the body can heal. When the mind quiets, clarity emerges. When internal pressure is released, balance returns. NADA supports transformation from the inside out, making it a cornerstone of our holistic approach.
Ear Acupuncture
An ear acupuncture session at Alaya Global is a calming, grounding, and deeply restorative experience. When you arrive, we begin with a brief conversation to understand what you are currently dealing with — physically, emotionally, or mentally. This allows us to tailor the treatment directly to your needs. The session takes place in a peaceful setting where you sit or lie down comfortably. Our practitioners gently place very fine needles in specific points on the ear. Each point corresponds to organs, systems, and emotional states in the body. By stimulating these points, the treatment activates the body's natural regulation and creates a fast response in the nervous system and overall internal balance. What Ear Acupuncture Does in the Body When the needles activate the ear points, they influence the vagus nerve, the limbic system, and the body’s hormonal balance. This leads to: Deep physical relaxation Muscles and connective tissue release tension and the body settles. Nervous system regulation Increased parasympathetic activity → more calm, clarity, and improved sleep. Emotional balance Anxiety, restlessness, frustration, and overwhelm decrease. Improved digestion and organ function Through reflex zones that support the whole body. Pain reduction Especially effective for neck, jaw, shoulder tension, lower back pain, and migraines. Better focus and mental clarity Many clients feel more centered and present in themselves. After a session, clients often describe a sense of lightness, clearer thinking, and a more grounded connection to their body. Why Repeated Sessions Are Recommended While a single treatment can create noticeable relief, consistent sessions lead to a much deeper and more lasting effect — especially if you are working with stress, sleep issues, emotional imbalance, or chronic tension. At Alaya Global, we recommend a structured treatment plan: -One session every 3-5 days, for a total of 4-6 sessions over one month. This rhythm supports the body in creating new regulation patterns, allowing the effects to become stable instead of temporary. Over time, the nervous system strengthens, emotional stability increases, and the body responds more effectively with each treatment.
Breathwork Sessions
Breathwork at Alaya Global is a transformative experience that allows you to access layers of the body and mind that are normally difficult to reach in your everyday life. Whether you join a 1:1 session or participate in a larger workshop, the process is designed to create a safe, guided journey into your inner world through conscious, rhythmic breathing. In a 1:1 session, you receive personal guidance tailored to your emotional state, physical tension, and personal goals. The pace, intensity, and style of the breathing pattern are adjusted moment-to-moment, allowing you to go deeper into release and regulation. In a group or workshop setting, the collective energy often amplifies the process. Breathing together creates a powerful shared field where participants support each other simply by being present. Many people find that the group dynamic helps them access emotions, insights, and inner shifts that feel stronger and more profound. What Happens During a Breathwork Session During the session, you are guided into a specific breathing rhythm that activates the body’s natural ability to release stored tension — both physical and emotional. As the breath becomes more open and continuous, the nervous system shifts into a state where suppressed or unprocessed experiences can surface gently and safely. Clients often experience: Physical sensations such as warmth, tingling, vibration, or lightness in the body Emotional release, including tears, laughter, shaking, or a deep sense of relief Mental clarity, insights, and new understanding of old patterns A feeling of expansion, freedom, and reconnection to oneself This happens because conscious breathing directly influences the vagus nerve, the limbic system, and the body’s stress response. As oxygen levels shift and the nervous system recalibrates, the body is able to process tension that has been held for years. How Breathwork Influences Your Daily Life Breathwork doesn’t just create change during the session — it extends into your everyday life in a very practical way. With regular sessions, people often notice: A calmer and more stable nervous system Increased emotional resilience More energy and clearer focus Better sleep and easier stress recovery Improved decision-making and intuition A deeper connection to the body and its signals Because breathwork strengthens regulation in the nervous system, many clients find themselves responding differently to challenges — with more patience, clarity, and grounding instead of overwhelm or tension. Over time, this creates a long-lasting shift in how you handle pressure, relationships, work, and personal growth.
PT Training Session
Our 1:1 Personal Training sessions are more than just exercise — they are a guided journey to strengthen your body, expand your awareness, and cultivate lasting health and vitality. At Alaya Global, we focus on functional strength, mobility, and body awareness, training with intention rather than just going through the motions. Every session is tailored to your current condition, goals, and lifestyle, ensuring that you gain both physical results and a deeper understanding of your body’s potential. During a session, you can expect a mix of strength, stability, mobility, and conditioning exercises that are carefully sequenced to challenge your body safely and effectively. We emphasize proper movement patterns, posture, and technique to prevent injury and maximize results. The Alaya Global Approach We believe that consistent, mindful movement creates change far beyond muscle tone or weight loss. Whether training 2–4 times per week or incorporating smaller sessions daily, the body responds to consistent challenge and engagement. Our trainers act as your motivators, guides, and accountability partners, helping you stay on track and push past mental barriers. The result is not just a stronger body — it’s a stronger mind, improved focus, and a deeper connection to yourself. Benefits of Regular Training Regular PT sessions at Alaya Global create wide-ranging benefits, including: Physical strength and stability: Improved core strength, posture, and functional mobility for daily life Increased energy: A body that moves well produces more energy, resilience, and stamina Weight management and metabolism: Strength training and functional movement support fat loss and long-term metabolic health Mind-body connection: Awareness of your body’s capabilities and limits translates to better stress management and emotional regulation Consistency and discipline: Daily or weekly engagement with movement fosters a habit of self-care and persistence Enhanced mental resilience: Physical challenges train the mind as much as the body, helping you stay grounded under pressure Long-Term Transformation When practiced regularly — whether 2–4 focused sessions a week or smaller daily movement routines — clients notice lasting transformation. Strength, flexibility, and energy improve steadily, while motivation, confidence, and self-discipline grow. Over time, the body and mind become more aligned, more capable, and more resilient — creating a foundation for a healthier, more balanced life. At Alaya Global, we are not just trainers — we are partners in your journey, inspiring you to reach your full potential physically, mentally, and emotionally. another one i forgot Cupping Therapy – 1:1 Sessions at Alaya Global Deep release, improved circulation, and a calmer nervous system At Alaya Global, cupping therapy is offered as a gentle yet powerful way to release tension, increase blood flow, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Our approach combines professional bodywork experience with a calm, therapeutic atmosphere that helps both body and mind reset.
Cupping Therapy
Deep release, improved circulation, and a calmer nervous system At Alaya Global, cupping therapy is offered as a gentle yet powerful way to release tension, increase blood flow, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Our approach combines professional bodywork experience with a calm, therapeutic atmosphere that helps both body and mind reset. How a 1:1 Cupping Session Works A session always begins with a short conversation to understand your physical state, areas of tension, and what you want support with — whether it’s pain, stress, stiffness, reduced mobility, or overall recovery. You will then lie comfortably on the treatment table, and the therapist will place a series of cups on selected areas of your back, shoulders, legs, or wherever tension is stored. The cups create a vacuum that gently lifts the tissue, increases blood circulation, and loosens stagnant energy and muscular tightness. Depending on your needs, we use both: Stationary cups (placed on specific trigger points) Gliding cups (moved along muscle lines to release larger tension patterns) Throughout the session, you are guided to breathe calmly, allowing the body to soften and open even deeper. What Cupping Does for the Body Cupping therapy can support: Release of deep muscle tension Improved blood flow and lymphatic drainage Reduction of inflammation Faster recovery after training or long workdays Relief from neck, shoulder, and lower back pain Emotional release by calming the nervous system Better sleep and a stronger sense of clarity in the body Many clients experience immediate relief, increased flexibility, and a sensation of “lightness” in areas that previously felt tight or blocked. Why Cupping at Alaya Global Is Different We combine cupping with an understanding of: The body’s emotional memory Breathwork Nervous system regulation Body therapy principles This makes the session more than just a physical treatment — it becomes a whole-body experience that connects breath, muscles, emotions, and energy. Short-Term and Long-Term Effects Short-term: Quick reduction in tension Calmer nervous system Warmth, openness, and relaxation Improved mobility Long-term (with repeated sessions): Less chronic tension Better posture Faster recovery Lower stress levels Stronger balance between body and mind Many clients combine cupping with body therapy, breathwork, or PT training for even better results How Often We Recommend Cupping For best results at Alaya Global, we often suggest: 1 session every 7–10 days for those with chronic tension Every second week for maintenance and overall wellbeing Before or after intense training for athletes or those with high performance demands

About Alaya Global
Alaya Global is about helping people return to themselves — to a state of inner balance, clarity, and calm.

Alaya offers a space to pause, release, and realign — through gentle yet powerful methods that restore connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Each session is personal and deeply human. It’s not about fixing what’s wrong, but awakening what’s already right within you — a process that lies at the heart of Alaya’s philosophy and began with the life journey of its founder, Robert Petersen, whose own path of healing became the foundation for everything Alaya stands for.
The Story of Robert Petersen
Robert Petersen’s story is one of transformation from limitation to purpose.
After a severe injury in his twenties left him officially declared 50% disabled, Robert refused to accept a life defined by restriction. His search for real healing sent him across the world, where he studied body therapy, psychotherapy, reflexology, and the deeper connection between the physical body, the emotional landscape, and human awareness.
For more than three decades, Robert has worked with people from all walks of life — professional athletes, artists, entrepreneurs, and families — helping them access the parts of themselves that traditional approaches often overlook.
Today, through Alaya Global, with hubs in Dubai and Phuket,, he continues his mission worldwide: guiding people back to themselves, so healing can happen from the inside out.
Because at the core of Robert’s work lies a simple truth:
Real change happens when the mind and the body reconnect — when balance is restored between the mental and the physical.

Robert Petersen
Founder of Alaya Global with over 30 years of experience in body therapy and holistic healing. Robert’s work unites body, mind, and awareness to help people reconnect with themselves. Robert Petersen (b. 1968) is a father of four and the founder of Alaya Global. His life’s work has always revolved around people, the body, the mind, and human potential – but it truly began more than 30 years ago when he suffered a serious injury. After years of treatment, he was assessed as 50% disabled and advised to retire. Refusing to accept this, Robert sought out experts worldwide and eventually worked with Ole K. Føhli and acupuncturist Tommy Iversen in Denmark, whose guidance helped him recover and find his true calling. Back in 1989, Robert completed an auto mechanic’s apprenticeship – a career he never pursued. While repairing cars didn’t inspire him, he discovered that repairing people did. He went on to study body therapy, psychotherapy, and reflexology, transforming his personal healing journey into a lifelong mission. Since then, Robert has worked with professional athletes, musicians, business leaders, and entrepreneurs around the world – including, among others, Kobe Bryant, David Beckham, and Justin Timberlake – as well as many others within sports, music, and business. He has also contributed to major international events such as Formula 1 and the America’s Cup. Alongside his international engagements, he has run his own clinic in Denmark, with a strong focus on individual 1:1 treatments. In 2020, Robert co-founded the school Balance to Perform in Copenhagen with an investor – a name he had worked under for the past 20 years. The school offered a 2-year body therapy education and ran successfully until 2025, when the decision was made to close it and evolve the vision further. Having worked internationally for decades — treating and teaching across the U.S., Europe, and Asia — Robert decided to establish a central base for his global work. Today, Alaya Global is headquartered in Dubai and operates across Thailand, Asia, and Europe, offering education, workshops, and treatments that unite body, mind, and intuition on an international scale. Through Alaya Global, Robert now offers 1:1 treatments, a 2.5-year Body Therapy Training Program, as well as NADA Education and Ear Acupuncture Education. In addition, the organization conducts workshops in meditation, breathwork, acupuncture, and personal development for both therapists and coaches. A key focus of his current work is intuition training for children and young people, helping the next generation develop self-awareness, emotional strength, and the confidence to follow their inner voice rather than external expectations. Today, Robert works with a dedicated team that includes his son and nephew, along with other highly skilled collaborators who contribute their expertise when required. Together, they continue to build a global network of people living fully, freely, and in balance.

His approach is grounded, intuitive, and inspired by a deep passion for understanding how the body and mind work together to restore natural flow and wellbeing.
Lukas Petersen
Lukas combines body therapy, breathwork, and mindfulness to release tension and restore balance through presence and awareness Lukas Petersen, 22 Lukas Petersen is a certified body therapist educated by Robert Petersen and a part of the Alaya Global team. Originally from Denmark, Lukas has been deeply interested in people and the human body from a young age. Growing up with a father who also worked as a body therapist, he developed an early curiosity about how the body holds both physical and emotional experiences — and how working with it can lead to profound transformation. When Lukas began his own training under Robert Petersen, he quickly discovered that body therapy is not only about helping others but also about understanding oneself. Through his education, he experienced a deep personal development and learned to connect with his body in a way he had never done before — recognizing himself as a whole being, both physically and mentally. As a therapist, Lukas approaches every client as a unique individual. He combines intuition with body therapeutic techniques to create balance between body and mind, always working with presence, empathy, and respect. Driven by a genuine desire to help others, Lukas is passionate about supporting people in living their lives from the inside out — with greater self-awareness, balance, and connection to themselves.
