About us 

Michael Masani - Director of Syandra Health Centre

Michael Masani - a brief biography
I first leaned to meditate in 1980 at the age of 33. At that time I was finance director of a multi-national property development company, based in Sydney.  I was probably overpaid, and also very stressed!
Since then I have learned many different forms of meditation from both eastern and western philosophies. This broad background has given me a comprehensive knowledge of the art of meditation and of the variety of techniques and practices we can all use to raise our consciousness and improve our lives in a great number of ways.
I left my job in Sydney and began teaching meditation in Canberra in 1987.
In the intervening 20+ years I have taught meditation to literally thousands of people. It is work that brings me deep satisfaction, work that I love.
As well as running regular meditation courses, my wife Deb and I run weekend meditation retreats – time out for people to rediscover inner peace, joy and a connection with all life.

The other aspect of my work began in 1990 when I gained a diploma in hypnotherapy. Three years later I trained under Frank Wright and Greg Brice to become a registered Private Subconscious mind Healing, (P.S.H.), therapist.
This training changed my practice and my ideas on therapy.
Why? Because it is deeply respectful of our intrinsic healing powers, it is gentle,
it does not rely on conscious memory, it has great simplicity and above all, because in the large majority of cases, it works!!

For the past 15 years, with Deb’s patience, insight and help, I have developed my therapy practice in Canberra, specializing in the use of P.S.H. to help people overcome anxiety, stress, depression, sleeping difficulties and various symptoms of stress.
Syandra Health Centre is our vehicle for providing all these services; canberra based meditation courses, P.S.H. therapy and CDs of guided meditations.

For relaxation I enjoy bush walking, going to the theatre, gardening, reading and watching cricket.
