The Reserve Bali Drug and Alcohol Rehab Clinical Staff

---

Owner and CEO

After several years as a touring musician and recording artist, Doug shifted gears and obtained several college degrees including a Bachelor’s Degree, a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and a Doctorate Degree in Jurisprudence. Doug began his journey in recovery and AA/NA 38 years ago in March of 1983 and completely understands the struggles and challenges presented by the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction.

He has seen throughout the years where conventional, western treatment centers consistently fall short by failing to actually address and heal the alcoholic mind. He has also observed countless others with long term sobriety of 20, 30 years clean, but who are still miserable because their alcoholic minds remain unhealed. This includes his first sponsor and best man in his wedding who took his own life with over 20 years sober in 1994.

An untreated alcoholic mind is an overactive negative feedback loop that resides in a constant state of worry, fear, anxiety, dread, remorse or morbid reflection at the conscious and/or subconscious level. An alcoholic or drug addict simply cannot and will not experience sustained peace, clam and happiness until the alcoholic mind is healed.

Most relapse because their alcoholic minds remain unhealed resulting in an uncomfortable to unbearable state sober or during sustained periods of abstinence. Doug has spent years and unlimited resources traveling the world, experimenting with different holistic and conventional treatment methodology and simply trying and/or doing whatever it took to find effective methods or cures for the alcoholic mind to end his own suffering and help others to also achieve a high level of claim, peace and happiness while not using alcohol or drugs.

Doug has owned and operated high-end luxury sober living and step down facilities in the United States for 3 years.  The success rate and dramatically low relapse rate of client's utilizing the unique integration of 12 steps plus holistic services, music therapy and Ascension techniques resulted in The Reserve's expansion into Bali.  Bali was the next step because Bai si the most spiritual place on earth and the cheap cost of living in Bali made it possible to make the high end unique services offered by The Reserve affordable and accessible to most.

Doug has carefully pieced together the best team and clinical staff possible offering a wide variety of clinical approaches.  The clinical stave is comprised of over 20 clinicians to meet the individualized needs of each client.

This page addresses only the team leaders of The Reserve Bali Rehab.

Senior Holistic Hypnotherapist

Kartika Alexadra has a  background in Psychology (Bachelor of Arts, University of British Columbia) and graduated with honours, awards, scholarships and on Dean's List.  She is also a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist  (CCTSI).  Kartika is a hypnotherapist with certification by the National Guild of Hypnotists, and with specialization in various hypnotherapy processes (ranging from HypnoBirthing© to Dolores Cannon's Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy.

Kartika has hundreds of hours of session experience and has helped thousands of clients resolve a wide range of problems since since founding Holistic Healing Hypnosis in 2014.   She is currently the director and owner of Maja Healing and has a large staff of 11 therapists/clinicians possessing different specialties and offering treatment modalities.

Kartika's intrigue with what makes each of one us who we are started at a very young age.  She was born in the USA.  She later moved to Nairobi Kenya for 4 years and lived in Tokyo Japan for 10 year, in Jakarta Indonesia for 4 years and resided in Vancouver Canada for 7 years.  She garnered extensive and diverse cultural background and experiences in each residential location and learned several languages.  She grew up speaking Swahili and Japanese.  She is now fluent in English, French and Indonesian. 

She has always been intrigued at what created the differences between individuals within the same culture - parental styles, childhood experiences, sibling influence, etc.  This led her to focus on social, developmental, and cultural psychology during her Bachelor of Arts training and education at the University of British Columbia.

She had the intention of becoming a clinical psychologist, yet during her last year at UBC, she realized that practicing clinical psychology would be too structured and not sufficiently comprehensive enough.  She, therefore, became committed to learning about the total human experience upon graduating with her  Bachelor in psychology.  She focused and still focuses on understanding how our human experience impact each and every individuals' overall state of happiness and health - physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, socially.  She also has devoted time to follow her heart's joy, experience her own truth, and aim to increase her own self-understanding and experience.

She dove into experiences she never previously would have encountered and pushed herself on physical, emotional, spiritual, social and mental levels on the basis of challenging herself, for self-growth and facing her own fears and discomforts.  She travelled extensively, and simultaneously started an international business.   She is currently based between Bali, Jakarta, Vancouver and Zurich.
