The Power of the Pen
Not only has the Geneviève delivered spiritual discourses, she has also penned many books and articles related to spirituality, holistic health and wellness, and the power of right-thought to empower the readers in all areas of life. Her work cultivates in readers the confidence in the Self of which physical reality unfolds from. One of her most famous books is Sun Tzu’s Art of War Unveiled: A Fourth-Dimensional Interpretation to Master Your Mind, which has received critical acclaim and praised for its spiritual depth by many all over the world. Geneviève has also composed many poetries about the essence of life and spirituality.
Just like every youth, Geneviève also had a career in employment after reading Law in the UK. Instead of practising in the legal profession, she became a journalist with The Brunei Times, whose work later caught the attention of the Deutsche Presse Agentur (dpa/German Press Agency). After her career with dpa, Geneviève then started a new chapter of life by joining one of the world's largest multinational company in Dubai. In the year 2022, she returned to the international news wire, dpa as a journalist tasked with reporting on the regions of Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei Darussalam.
Despite all the phases of life, she never failed to live up to her mission of empowering individuals.
Balance is the key to proper development of both mind and body. With the progress of technology in the world today, many have forgotten how to lead a simple and natural lifestyle. Equipped with her previous experiences in journalism and aiming to educate people on the principles of holistic living, she launched the online e-Magazine Holistic Living Annex. The magazine remains free from 2012 since it was launched until today with the sole purpose of educating readers about health, lifestyle and spirituality.

She is also the founder of the Sandhya Maarga Yoga system, which encompasses the various programmes that were specifically designed to support the practitioner’s overall health and wellness.

(i) AcuYogaPressure™
(ii) Velocity Yoga™ / CardiYogaRobics™
(iii) Abhyangam Yoga (Deep-Heat Massage) Yoga™

Recognition for Yoga
Recognised for her contribution to the practice of Yoga worldwide, Master Geneviève was appointed as an Honorary Advisor for the World Yoga Foundation and was featured on NTV7's weekly Yoga segment on its popular breakfast show "Good Morning Tai Tai". She was also invited by the Philippines College of Alternative Medicines to lecture the participants of their international health conference on the areas of mind-body medicine and Yoga.
Strong Proponent of Holistic Therapies
From the early roots of her cultural exposure to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Geneviève embarked on a transformative path of learning and mastery. Through years of dedicated study and hands-on experience, she became a strong proponent of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM), specialising in the intricate and time-honoured practices of TCM, Homoeopathy, and Aromatherapy. Her expertise in acupuncture, herbalism, realignment massage, and Homoeopathy became the cornerstone of her holistic approach, emphasising the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
With over 18 years of experience as a Homoeopath, Geneviève has applied her knowledge and skills to bring healthcare to rural villages in various countries where access to medical services is limited. Through Homoeopathy, she has provided vital support to communities in need. Geneviève has also deepened her knowledge and contributed to the advancement of the Homoeopathic field in various global settings, including Germany, the UK, India, UAE and Singapore through workshops, conferences and mobile clinics. Rooted in Homoeopathy's German origins, her approach mirrors traditional German practices, ensuring the preservation of the discipline's authenticity and originality.
This diverse international exposure has enriched her practice, allowing her to blend cultural insights and healing philosophies into her work. Her path in CAM is marked by a profound understanding of the body's natural healing abilities and a relentless pursuit of integrative therapies that nurture overall well-being. As a strong advocate for CAM, she has played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between conventional and alternative medicine, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to inspire those seeking a holistic and balanced approach to health.
Upon returning to Malaysia in 2013, Geneviève took a pioneering step in advancing the cause of holistic wellness by spearheading the creation of the International Conference & Exhibition on Holistic Wellness (ICEHW). This annual conference quickly gained recognition as a successful platform that brought together experts, practitioners, and enthusiasts in the field of CAM. Her vision for ICEHW was not merely to disseminate knowledge but to inspire a ripple effect of understanding and advocacy for integrative medicine. In her own words, she articulated the profound impact she aimed for, stating in 2016, "In this hall of 500 over participants, even if I manage to inspire only ONE individual about the Science of complementary and alternative therapies, and the need to push for integrative medicine in today's world, my objective for holding this conference is already met. This one individual will continue to touch at least another 5 persons' lives at some point of their lifetime about the same subject, and the 5 will continue to inspire another 5 each. This is the start of an avalanche of growth in perspective."
She proceeded to establish Vitalitas Holistic Wellness Services, an integrative holistic health and wellness centre that embodies her vision of a comprehensive approach to well-being. At Vitalitas, she integrates the practices of various modalities including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Homoeopathy, Aromatherapy, and other complementary therapies to offer personalised treatments that address the root causes of health concerns. The centre serves as a sanctuary for those seeking a balanced approach to healing, focusing not only on physical ailments but also on emotional and spiritual well-being.
Through Vitalitas, Geneviève has created a space where conventional medicine and CAM work hand in hand, promoting preventive care, natural healing, and lifestyle adjustments. Her commitment to education and empowerment is reflected at Vitalitas, which include wellness workshops, personalised health consultations, and therapeutic programmes tailored to individual needs. Under her leadership, Vitalitas has become a trusted destination for clients seeking integrative therapies, fostering a community that values holistic health and sustainable well-being.
Geneviève is most well-known for pioneering a groundbreaking holistic approach through integrative medicine known as Cognitive Synergy Resonance (CSR), becoming the first of its kind to focus specifically on supporting individuals with special needs. Her innovative work has made a profound impact on the lives of countless children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, ADD, and other related conditions. Through the application of various CAM modalities, education, and cognitive and behavioural training, she works to improve their cognitive function, emotional regulation, behavioural patterns and overall well-being. Geneviève's dedication and expertise have not only transformed the health outcomes of these children but have also brought hope and relief to their families.
A Deep Passion for Education
Geneviève has a deep passion for education. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Law from the United Kingdom and proceeded with postgraduate studies in the field of Complementary & Alternative Medicines in India. Even after graduating from PhD, Geneviève continued to explore more areas and earned many more UK-accredited diplomas in the relevant fields that she was truly passionate about such as Diploma in Aromatherapy, Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy, Diploma in Diet & Nutrition, Diploma in Education & Training as well as a Diploma in Teaching Speech & Drama. In her commitment to becoming a more effective leader for the organisations she leads, Master Geneviève also pursued an MBA programme.
An experienced naturopath, Geneviève had always said that all diseases are nothing but the manifestations of negative thoughts: "all diseases are a result of a sick mind. Correct the mind and your body will be healed."
Geneviève has never failed to show how passionate she is in the education field. Geneviève believes that it is crucial to produce more generations of inquisitive minds and create greater awareness about the practices of Complementary and Alternative Medicines. As a result, she launched the Sandhya Maarga Holistic Living Academy, a UK registered college, that provides education and training that focus on these holistic health subjects such as Yoga, Diet & Nutrition, Aromatherapy and Sports Massage Therapy. Not limiting her passion in education to only these areas, Geneviève also believes that education should be designed in such a way that education has a holistic framework to be delivered to students. She therefore launched Sphaeram Academy that focuses on non-holistic health subjects that would provide greater degree of engagement by students.
Her passion in the expressive arts is also notable. Geneviève has always strived to tap into the creativity that lies dormant in all youths. She believes that their time is better channelled to produce meaningful projects instead of wasting it on unfruitful activities that many indulge in today. To serve this purpose, Geneviève has produced and directed various films and stage productions that consist important underlying messages and the philosophy of life that would transform the world into a better place.
Geneviève has also been appointed as an advisor for several universities in different countries to contribute knowledge and experience to the academic communities of these institutions.
Serving Humanity
Geneviève served and provided free education and alternative healthcare programmes in the rural villages of India. At a tender young age in 2012, she received the ‘Health Excellence Award’ from the hands of Prof. Dr. Sohan Raj Tater, the former Vice Chancellor of Singhania University in Rajasthan, for exemplifying invaluable leadership in serving the ailing society and the humanity at large.
She has also spearheaded various humanity service programmes such as the free Chitta Vajra Programme for Kids (CVP), which was designed to instil moral education into young children so that they may grow up to serve others and contribute back to society in a positive way. Other programmes include the Women of Wonder (WoW) programme that helps and support women within the community to stand up for themselves against abuse of any kind and to empower them with the necessary knowledge and skills to build a life on their own. She also founded the PawPrints Natural Rescue (PPNR) movement that rescues strays inflicted with diseases to treat them based on the principles of alternative medicines such as acupuncture, medicinal herbalism, homoeopathy etc.
Geneviève also launched the Golden Age Programme (GAP) to create a more inclusive environment for the elderly population and the Hope, Empathy & Light (HELP) initiative to reach out to talk to individuals in need of an ear.
An active proponent of holistic education, she also spearheaded the Bridging Education Excellence (BEE) project, which provides free educational lectures, workshops, seminars and programmes from time-to-time for participants to create more opportunities for themselves in this world. Working in line with this goal, Geneviève also heads the Youth Empowerment Strategy (YES) initiative to engage youths to participate in various activities to channel their time for more productive purposes.
Geneviève strong believes in the value of conserving Mother Nature. She kickstarted the Sustainable Earth Rehabilitation Voluntary Effort (SERVE) project to increase the awareness on environmental preservation methods. The project empowers individuals with ideas and show them the various ways how one can make a difference to create a sustainable lifestyle to protect Mother Nature.
The Strong Stand for Truth & Justice
From a tender age, Geneviève has always stood strongly for justice. She always believed that "Truth will always prevail" and had never therefore never hesitated to stand up against any form of injustice. All these years, Geneviève had always been a strong voice of the unheard and defenseless regardless of their background; whether mankind, plants or animals.
In Geneviève's own words: "As much as God is a passive observer of all the events in life and the Divinity within is unmoved by external circumstances, one must still nonetheless be compelled to uphold Dharma (righteousness) at all times. Those who read Law would understand that one who is able to influence an outcome but has chosen not to do so can be held liable for 'omission'. Therefore, uphold Sathyam (Truth) and Dharma (righteousness) to the best of your capability. It will be your best gift for humanity."
