As Malaysians embrace a new era of self-care, wellness is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. In the heart of Petaling Jaya, a quiet sanctuary has emerged in the form of ARC Holistic Wellness, a homegrown brand redefining what self-care means for Malaysians.
Launched in 2024 by wellness advocates Diana Koon and Justin Dee, ARC is far from your typical spa. It’s a purpose-built sanctuary designed to help you “Regain Your Beautiful State”, a guiding philosophy that frames wellness not as a fleeting indulgence, but as a return to balance.

We recently had the chance to experience this philosophy firsthand through a curated selection of their signature therapies, from the soothing warmth of Far Infrared Sauna paired with Red Light Therapy to the futuristic calm of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) complemented by a foot massage, and finally, the meditative stillness of Halotherapy.
A refuge for modern lives
Stepping into ARC’s 2,700 sqft home at Jaya One, you immediately sense its purpose. The interiors are warm yet minimal, with private treatment rooms that feel worlds away from the city’s chaos. This isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about slowing down, recalibrating, and giving your body the tools to heal.

Thoughtful touches make the experience even more inclusive, a dedicated play area keeps little ones entertained while parents recharge, and an in-house café offers wholesome bites and drinks for a post-treatment wind-down.
ARC feels less like a clinic and more like a lifestyle space designed for real lives.
Three therapies, one goal
We sampled three of ARC’s signature offerings, each designed to work on different layers of recovery:
1. Far Infrared Sauna + Red Light Therapy
Our experience began with a 40-minute session in the Far Infrared Sauna, paired with Red Light Therapy-a combination designed to work on both the body and skin.
The gentle, penetrating heat of the infrared sauna goes deeper than traditional steam, flushing out toxins and melting away muscle tension from the inside out. Meanwhile, the red light bathes your skin in a glow that’s celebrated for stimulating collagen and accelerating cellular repair.

What truly elevated the experience was the sauna’s Bluetooth connectivity, allowing us to stream our own playlist and create the perfect vibe.
2. HBOT + Foot Massage
ARC houses Petaling Jaya’s largest Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) chamber, and stepping inside felt like entering a sleek, futuristic pod.
For 60 minutes, we breathed pure oxygen under controlled pressure process that’s said to accelerate healing, boost circulation, and supercharge energy levels at a cellular level.

The feeling was surprisingly calming, almost meditative, as the chamber worked quietly around us. What elevated the experience even further was the pairing with a soothing foot massage, creating the ultimate balance of cutting-edge science for recovery, complemented by the grounding touch of human care.
By the end, we felt lighter, clearer, and deeply restored, like hitting refresh on both body and mind.
3. Halotherapy (Salt Therapy)
Imagine sitting in a cocoon of Himalayan salt, breathing air infused with microscopic salt particles, a therapy long praised for its benefits to respiratory health and stress relief.

The experience was almost meditative, with the soft amber glow of salt walls casting a warm, calming light and the rhythmic hum of the machine creating a soundtrack of stillness rarely found in urban life.
For 30 minutes, it felt like being transported to a serene cave, far removed from the city’s chaos where each breath seemed to clear not just the lungs, but the mind, leaving us grounded and deeply relaxed.
