Life Synergy Event attracts leading health and wellbeing specialists
Millbrook Resort is set to stage its first Life Synergy Expo on Sunday, March 14th, 2010 with an impressive line up of seminar speakers including Australasia’s most well respected and experienced Ayurvedic specialist, Dr S. Ajit.
Dr Ajit will host two half hour seminar sessions at the EXPO talking about the benefits of traditional Ayurvedic treatments. He will also present an afternoon cooking demonstration of Ayurvedic food practices.
A specialist in Panchkarma therapy, his centre in Auckland is one of the few therapeutic Panchkarma Clinics in Australasia.
He says the Expo at Millbrook Resort is an opportunity to impart knowledge and introduce people to life changing benefits.
“Ayurvedic Science teaches us how to live in balance at all levels, physically, mentally & spiritually. It is only when we get out of balance that illness can take hold.”
Ayurveda gives us the tools to enhance our awareness so that we can live our life in harmony within ourselves & the world at large.”
Dr. Ajit has a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (B.A.M.S.) from Punjabi University. For over 18 years he worked for the Government of India in various positions in both Ayurvedic hospitals and pharmacies.
Life Synergy Expo director, Margo Berryman, says Dr Ajit will be a real drawcard.
“ Dr Ajit is highly thought of in Ayurvedic circles and has established quite a following since moving to New Zealand in the mid 90’s. This is a fantastic opportunity for local people to learn from him and we are delighted to have him coming to Queenstown especially for the Life Synergy Expo.”
Other specialists who will be presenting seminars at the EXPO include prominent Dunedin based medical herbalist Sandra Clair; Sharon Schindler Sustainable Advisor from Otago Polytechnic; Astrologer Sousa Joy Jefferson, a graduate from the Kepler College of Astrological Arts and Sciences in the USA; Catherine Robb, Homeopath and herbalist on allergies the new epidemic and Amanda Mortimer, a well known NLP practitioner.

Combine a majestic location with outstanding facilities and you have Queenstown’s Millbrook Resort. In March 2010, for the first time, Millbrook is thrilled to be the venue for the Life Synergy Expo.
Visitors to Millbrook love to breathe in the clean, clear mountain air as they relax and enjoy this inspiring and invigorating location. This five-star resort offers a five-star welcome to all, whether staying for a few hours or a few days.
The resort is set on 500 acres, of which 95% is open space, a private, quiet and organic setting.
It features a championship golf course, a history that spans 150 years, a range of luxury accommodation, exceptional dining options and The Spa at Millbrook, recently named one of the top ten hotel spas worldwide.
It nurtures the historic venues that reflect its history as a former working wheat farm and are in keeping with its environment. It’s the perfect place to revive the spirit and reinvigorate and relax the body and soul, making Millbrook the obvious choice to host a festival of wellness.
Life Synergy Expo is committed to improving the quality and balance of lives through health and wellbeing, education and spirituality. It provides a platform for leading practitioners from all fields of health and wellbeing to share their knowledge.
“There’s simply no better place in Queenstown for the Life Synergy event,” says Millbrook Sales and Marketing Director Kim Carpenter.
“Guests and visitors to Millbrook can relax and unwind, or be as active as they wish. Every need’s catered for with Millbrook's championship golf course, award-winning restaurants, our magnificent spa facility and our complementary health and fitness centre with a pool, outdoor spa pools, regular yoga and other classes.
“We’ve recently developed more than 3km of walking and bike trails around the resort, and a perfect day out can finish with a glass of local wine or chilled beer at the Hole-in-One or a long, lingering lunch, using organic, locally-sourced produce, at the Millhouse.
“Our new Coronet Nine golf course winds over rolling hills, through streams and wetlands, a whole new reason to play Millbrook,” he says.
“Everyone’s invited to come along to the Expo. Millbrook, we hope, will grow as a venue to support learning, health and wellbeing within the community.
Life Synergy EXPO 2010 will take place at Millbrook Resort Sunday the 14th of
