From Rocket Science to Soul Science

Born into generations of Ayurvedic healers in Sri Lanka and trained as a chemical engineer in England, Dr. Lingam once worked on rocket fuels in the United States. A newborn daughter's inflamed skin changed his path. In 1988 he co-founded Hylunia Skin Care, and later Hymed Skincare, uniting ancient Ayurveda with modern science to care for skin, mind and body.

About Dr. Lingam

A bridge between two worlds that rarely meet

Dr. Lingam is a chemical engineer, former rocket-fuel researcher, skincare scientist, co-founder of Hylunia Skin Care and Hymed Skincare, naturopath, wellness expert and motivational speaker. He calls himself a green and organic crusader, a mission that began when he found toxic chemicals in his own baby's skincare.

Since 1988 he has combined the wisdom of the East with the science of the West in formulations and wellness programs. His work spans Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, mantra, Ayurvedic aromacology, chakra balancing, detox and Panchakarma, nutrition, skincare and, above all, happiness.

One purpose has guided all of it: to benefit humanity.

Voices from the sanctuary

This isn't just a spa. It's a return to who you are before the world told you otherwise.

I'm an Athletic Trainer and Massage Therapist. I came in exhausted and overwhelmed. Within minutes, I felt seen, heard, recalibrated. My therapist 'D' listened with deep intuition. I came in hitting a wall; I walked out walking through a door.

During Spa Week, I booked a $50 massage expecting just a quick rub. Instead, I entered a healing temple. Foot cleanse, oil inhalation, chakra stones, essential oil mist, underwater projection meditation… I was transported. I left in tears, with serenity and a goody bag of products.

My husband and I had our first Champagne and Chocolate couples' massage. What a great experience! This spa offers tranquility and peacefulness. Trish and Heather were just awesome. Best massage of our lives. We'll be back.
