About our staff and consultants

Our Invitation to You:

Mr. Khalsa, the founder of THRP, would like to invite you to embark on a life--changing journey. He understands from his own experience that addiction is anything one engages in to not feel the pain. This pain takes many forms and is individual specific. THRP has assembled a team that are loving, sensitive, caring, compassionate professionals that will assist you in your discovery and healing process. There is no place you can go that they have not been.

Sadhu Singh Khalsa, LISW, MSW

Mr. Khalsa graduated from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 1969 with a specialty in Administration and Community Mental Health. Their Social Work program continues to be ranked number one in America. Mr. Khalsa has over 30 years of experience as a caring clinician, administrator, researcher, educator, yoga teacher and advocate for the disenfranchised. He has been a hospital administrator of a 100 bed psychiatric hospital in Chicago; program director of the only holistic natural healing residential treatment center for the chemically dependent in America; and recently, the Mental Health Bureau Chief for the New Mexico Corrections Department. He is a man of vision and heart and knows how to design and manifest superior treatment programs without comprising the integrity of the design.

Mr. Khalsa has studied with Yogi Bhajan, a spiritual teacher for over 25 years learning how to apply spiritual principles in the healing arts—mental health, physical health and in the field of addiction. When he saw firsthand what can be done with the chemically dependent using all natural methods, he never wavered in his commitment to create more centers using superior diagnostic, assessment and treatment protocols. Total Health Recovery Program is the culmination of years of research, exploring and networking so that their clients could finally find the best treatment program in the world.

To better understand the thinking and research behind this program read Mr. Khalsa's article:

Treating the Chemically Dependent as a Resurrection Process

I would like to recommend to those who have chosen to come to my website hoping to find the program that you need, that you read the story "The Little Boy Who Goes Fishing for the Sun." It could be your story. It tells what happens when you hold on to your dreams and don't let go. Not only can you transform and heal yourself, you can, by your example, uplift, inspire, and heal the community.

Sri-Gian Khalsa "My real joy is in helping people unknot their predicaments, so they can more easily live the pure fullness of Life that their infinitely unique, bright, rich and powerful Souls yearn to express!"

Since 1991, Siri-Gian has facilitated energetic healing along with these intuitive readings—both are natural gifts. For several years, she headed up a wellness center, and subsequently traveled regularly both in the USA and internationally to Canada, Japan and the Caribbean to successfully give thousands of these intuitive readings, coupled with energetic healing and regression therapy, plus lead Kundalini Yoga workshops. Now, she is happily based 20 miles north of Santa Fe in the rural country near Espanola, NM. She would be very happy to see you for in-depth healing in her home and have you stroll and heal in her lovely gardens.

About her services... A Transformational Energy Healing offers you the opportunity to heal from your very Soul! Siri-Gian uses subtle healing energy, intuitive information, and regression healing therapy, along with lots of good humor and kindness to effect healing for your mind, body and Soul! In her sessions, you will talk a bit first to give the gist of your healing objectives and to get to know one another. Then you will lie on a massage table while she first pushes on various areas of your body, especially on your heart. This is akin to acupressure, and helps to move and release stuck or slow moving subtle energy in your system. Then she begins to talk with you from what she "hears" and "sees" about you to pinpoint your difficulties. She "reads" your own personal information that is embedded in your energetic system and talks with you about it, being sure that you only believe what surely feels right to you. Next she assists you to let go of old pains and mental patterns that do not serve you now, and help you develop a much more supportive outlook, along with successful methods of accomplishing your life from the very depth of you! And she helps you to learn to live from the guidance from your very own Soul!

Dr. Hari Jot Singh Khalsa, an acupuncturist that works on the spirit as well as the body. Mr. Gurubhai Singh Khalsa, shiatsu master, balances the energy of the organ systems as they react to the changes in consciousness and healing.

Mr. Jerome Deutsch, master clinical nutritionist, provides a nutritional foundation for the cells to detox and start the process of cellular reconstruction, which supports greater awareness, consciousness and capacity to implement the insights derived from the healing process.

Sadhu Singh Khalsa helps each client process and integrates all of this information on a daily basis. When the soul takes a quantum leap in awareness and healing, the mind and ego become very reactive and confused. The mind moves the fastest and then the emotions and lastly the body. Sadhu Singh insures the integrity of the healing process as well as its fluidity so that the client is not overwhelmed but highly challenged. This is the art of the program. Sadhu Singh provides a safe sacred space and structure where each client can begin their journey into the resurrection process. THRP is truly an answer to many people’s prayers.
