Meet JRO & Gigi
We are Geraldine (Gigi) and JRO, partners in life, united by a shared dream of creating a healing centre surrounded by nature, where people can come and stay for the time they need to heal. Until that dream takes form, we welcome you into our healing home in Sumberkima.
JRO
My path as a Balian began in childhood. I did not study healing formally. I learned to understand my abilities through dreams, spiritual guidance, pilgrimages and with three teachers who guided me along the way.
For more than 20 years, I have supported people with many different health concerns, including serious, complex and long-standing conditions such as cancer, kidney disease, stroke or chronic pain. “Difficult” health journeys are at the heart of my work today.
My practice brings together five Balian traditions, allowing me to listen to each person physically, energetically and spiritually, as well as through herbal medicine I prepare.
Gigi
My own healing journey led me to explore the connection between the body, mind, spirit and emotions.
My background brings together Systematic Kinesiology, which uses muscle testing to listen to the body’s responses and priorities, and hypnotherapy, which goes beyond what the conscious mind already understands to explore unresolved experiences and emotions so they can be processed, helping us reconnect with our bodies and feel whole again.
Our shared vision
Different ways of listening, one shared vision: to welcome and support each person as a whole.
For many years, international visitors found JRO mainly through word of mouth. We are now sharing his work more widely so that people seeking this kind of support can find it when they need it.
Wherever you are, there’s a place to begin.
Begin with one session, continue over several days, give yourself more time for a deeper residential healing process, or take a first step from home with our free nutrition guides.

Real experiences, shared in their own words
Carla GeertsGoogle review Dealing with a lot of pain, from cancer, Jro helped me, even after the first treatment no painkillers needed, after 3 treatments no pain at all. Can recommend it, helpful in mindset and physical treatments, for me worth more than gold. Have my life back, he also helped my husband who could not walk from the severe pain in his body, also needed a lot of painkillers. After 1 treatment no more painkillers needed, walk again after 2 treatments, full recovery after 8 treatments. Advise for change of lifestyle and mental healing, we bless Jro, really changed our lives for the good, best way. Jro is relaxed and takes all the time needed, for mental and physical treatment.
Marie-Eve AppelGoogle Local Guide I met Jro because of a chimio which tired me a lot but I didn’t sleep well. After 3 appointments I sleep better and I feel more enthusiastic. Thank you.
Jordan VerotGoogle Local Guide Coming to JRO is an experience not only in the mind but in the body too. You learn to relax during pain. You have to relax muscles, fibers, nerves while he works on you. And you do it in mind too. Five different people told me of JRO so I phoned him. And by phone, I really like the man. He makes me laugh and I feel power coming from him, so I came to Indonesia. With one finger he makes me cry like a baby when he shows me on my body some problem. For a lot of months, I could not sleep lying in bed because the pain is too hard. And now, in two days, I can.
Martijn BleekendaalGoogle review We all had three healing sessions with Jero, a truly special experience! He clearly senses what’s wrong and addresses it. It’s sometimes painful, but necessary. Combined with his special potions, the effect is even stronger. I highly recommend him! We’ll definitely be back!
Christina CrennGoogle Local Guide My partner and I visited the healer Jro twice during our stay in the region, and it was an incredibly beneficial experience for both our relationship and for each of us individually.
He is a truly kind-hearted person, full of compassion and insight. He was able to identify our issues and address them in a meaningful and effective way. His personality is unique and unconventional, with a very interesting perspective on life and human relationships.
He takes the time to listen, understand, and heal, all while being very warm, friendly, and making the experience both enjoyable and light-hearted.
I recommend him 200% and truly hope to come back and see him again soon.
Fabrice PayenGoogle Local Guide I went to this great healer following major problems. He received me with hospitality. He is a simple person and a powerful professional who, through his gifts, immediately finds the cause of the suffering. He is very educational and allowed me to heal with his unique techniques and above all his wisdom to debrief by explaining what he does. An atypical journey and with deep knowledge.
Laia EspasaGoogle Local Guide A truly beautiful and transformative experience of healing emotional and energetic knots, both physically and energetically. Giro and his partner Gigi are incredibly warm, kind, attentive, and caring, creating a safe and welcoming space throughout the whole experience.
I’m deeply grateful for this beautiful experience. Thank you so much!
Annemiek VenGoogle review Very satisfied with the treatments and conversations; they were valuable and educational.
Gained a lot of insight, and we are now pain-free. We’re so glad we got to meet you!
Herbal medicine & nutrition

Questions people ask
Do I need to be seriously ill to see JRO?
No. In fact, JRO’s message is simple: please come earlier. Do not wait until you are seriously ill.
After working with so many people, one thing he feels deeply is that too many arrive only when they are already extremely unwell. Some travel from Europe with advanced cancer after years of medical treatment, at a point when their doctors have very limited options left. JRO will always do his best to offer complementary support to someone in that situation.
But he wishes people would listen to their bodies and seek support sooner, before the body is exhausted, a problem has been ignored for years or illness becomes the only thing forcing a change. Part of his work on social media is to help people recognise earlier signs, take greater responsibility for their health and way of living, and remain balanced through difficult periods of life.
Is this a replacement for medical treatment?
No. This work sits alongside your medical care, never instead of it. JRO’s work is complementary. It does not replace medical diagnosis, prescribed treatment, medication, rehabilitation or emergency care, and we do not promise a cure or a particular outcome.
If you are living with a serious condition, please stay under the supervision of your healthcare professionals and do not change anything they have prescribed without them.
Why does JRO recommend three sessions?
Meeting more than once lets JRO observe how your body, mind and energy respond after each treatment, and adapt the next session accordingly. Healing is understood as a process rather than a single intervention: each session reveals another layer.
How much does a session cost?
One treatment with JRO is IDR 1,300,000, about 65 euros. It includes his herbal preparations and guidance adapted to what you need.
If cost is what stands between you and this work, please tell us.
Can I stay at the Healing Home or come with a caregiver?
Yes to both. Accommodation is always optional and priced separately from the healing work. A private room is IDR 250,000 a night, about 13 euros; a private villa is IDR 350,000 a night, about 18 euros, with two double beds, a fridge and its own terrace.
One caregiver or family member is welcome to stay with you free of charge if you are comfortable sharing the accommodation. The villa’s two double beds let them stay close while you each have your own sleeping space.
