Edwin Tan

Edwin Tan is the founder of Buah Meditasi, a healing centre and school in Bali focused on trauma healing and manifestation. He has helped many people around the world through his programs and retreats.

His approach is a form of somatic therapy that joins a scientific method, brainspotting, with holistic practices: qigong and energy work, breathwork, meditation and sound healing. He describes it as blending east-holistic and west-scientific modalities. Yoga also features in his work.

Edwin came to trauma work through his own experience. While working as a financial professional and entrepreneur, he lived with depression and physical pain, and those emotional and body blockages were affecting his health, happiness and abundance. After a great deal of trial and error in his own healing, his skeptical mind came to accept that his body had been holding trauma from childhood development and from earlier generations.

He believes everyone has the potential to heal themselves and that the work is to find the right tools to realise that potential and live a more balanced, happier life.

Buah Meditasi Centre sits along the Sacred River of Yeh Penet near Canggu, and it is also a training centre where students can learn directly from him. Through his school he has trained many trainees worldwide in trauma healing and manifestation. He also offers a bilingual e-book on self-healing through ten functional breathing techniques.
