At JOALI BEING, wellbeing is guided by four interconnected pillars: Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy. Among these, the Microbiome Pillar quietly shapes multiple facets of wellbeing, influencing not just digestion but also mood, immunity, radiance and overall balance.
Sometimes called the “second brain”, the gut Microbiome is a living system within you. It responds to how you eat, move and feel — and in turn, feeds back into your emotional and mental state. An unbalanced Microbiome can be deeply unsettling, making you prone to anxiety, brain fog and low energy.
At JOALI BEING, we help guests restore this vital connection through personalised nutrition, mindful rituals and nature-immersive experiences — with a special focus on navigating seasonal transitions, a time when body and mind crave equilibrium. Science meets serenity at our wellbeing island, taking you on a transformative journey.
Simply put, the Microbiome is a thriving community of microorganisms that call your gut home. This inner ecosystem is a dynamic expression of balance, playing a vital role in how you think, feel and function each day. When it’s in harmony, energy flows freely, immunity strengthens and your mood lifts with ease.
JOALI BEING nurtures the Microbiome through intentional living, nourishing cuisine and seasonally-inspired practices. By creating the right conditions for your gut to flourish, we invite you to return to a natural state of harmony — where the body feels aligned, the mind is clear, and life unfolds with renewed vitality.
The connection between gut and brain is constant, subtle and profound. The two are always in dialogue, exchanging signals through the vagus nerve, hormonal pathways and trillions of microbes. This intricate network — the gut-brain axis — guides everything from mood to clarity of thought.
Think of it as two companions on a lifelong journey, constantly communicating with each other. When one thrives, the other responds with equal vitality; when one is unsettled, the other quickly feels the strain.
This understanding forms the basis of our Microbiome Pillar offerings. By tending to your gut health, you’re also nurturing emotional balance, mental sharpness and resilience in the face of stress.
Do you know nearly 90% of the body’s serotonin — a neurotransmitter known as the ‘happy hormone’ — is produced in the gut? It’s a powerful reminder of how deeply Microbiome and mood are linked. When your gut is healthy, it supports:
Unfortunately, a hectic lifestyle, stress and seasonal changes can disrupt this delicate balance. That’s where JOALI BEING’s Microbiome and Mind journeys come in, offering a personalised pathway to renewing gut vitality and mental wellbeing.

These gentle transitions help the body adapt, while the mind feels nourished and peaceful.
Recognising that our inner ecosystems are connected to the outside world, JOALI BEING’s approach extends from the individual to the environment. By protecting marine life, supporting local biodiversity and embracing biophilic design, we have created a sanctuary where personal and planetary health thrive together.
As you nourish your body and mind, you also honour the habitat that sustains them — a reminder that we are not separate from nature, but an intrinsic part of it.
A stay at JOALI BEING is more than a holiday. It’s an immersive, transformative journey that brings you back to joy, lightness and freedom — a feeling we call weightlessness. Through the lens of gut and mental health, we invite you to experience a timeless truth: that balance isn’t found but remembered. It is your natural state of being, waiting within you to unfold and bloom.
