Kinan Spa - Maroma Resort, Playa Maroma, Riviera Maya, Mexico

Kinan is the Mayan word for the healing energy of the sun. Similar to the Asian concept of Chi, Kinan is also used to refer to an individual's energy. Our mission is to help you transform and unlock your inner energy and spirit. Each building, spa treatment room and waterfall has been aligned to the stars to ensure positive energy flow so the body, mind and spirit are in harmony. The treatment rooms point directly east to west representing the balance of the day and night. The massage beds are placed so guests' heads are at the west looking towards the east - representing new beginnings; and the relaxation room is pointing north - representing earth and grounding.

Many of the treatments offered at Kinan are based on ancient Mayan healing. Some of the services will not be found any where else in this world. Enter, explore and experience our Mayan Spa sanctuary on the glorious Riviera Maya.

Quantum Touch: Beyond the paradigm of disease, is the concept of "wellness": constantly striving to achieve greater states of well-being, health, fitness, and happiness. Receiving regular Quantum-Touch sessions can be part of an ongoing wellness program. Quantum-Touch uses resonance and entrainment to facilitate healing. The practitioner learns to raise his or her vibration and create a high level of energy. If that energy field is placed around an area of pain, stress, inflammation, or disease, that part of the body will entrain to the higher frequency and allow one's own biological intelligence to do whatever healing it deems necessary. In principal the Quantum-Touch practitioner learns to focus and amplify life-force energy ("Chi" or "Prana") by combining various breathing and body awareness exercises.
