FAQs
Everything about the program, the investment, the rules and the privacy — answered plainly.
What is The James: Affect?
A 1:1 personalised Life Transformation program based in Bali. One client at a time, one villa, and a team of specialists hand-picked for your program — combining medical screening, psychiatry, therapy, life coaching, training and bodywork.
How long does the program run?
Programs run for 7, 14 or 21 days. Seven days is designed specifically for people leaving rehab and transitioning back home. Fourteen days is the most chosen option. Twenty-one days gives you the longest run at living your new daily schedule before you go home.
How much does it cost?
Indicative investment is from $10,000 for 7 days, from $19,000 for 14 days and from $27,000 for 21 days. Final pricing is set once your program is designed with James, because every program is built from scratch.
What's included in the core program?
Medical screening and prescriptions with clinical oversight, 1:1 psychiatry sessions, CBT therapy with a registered Doctor, relationship counselling with a specialist, 1:1 life coaching, personal training and gym access, daily massage and bodywork, and connection to AA or NA meetings and a mentor if the 12-step path is part of your work.
Is this a rehab or a detox clinic?
No. The James: Affect is not a rehab facility. It is a personalised life transformation program, often used after rehab or instead of a conventional retreat, with clinical oversight built in.
Can the program run outside Bali?
Yes. The program can be recreated anywhere in the world. James accommodates requests to build a Life Transformation with you in the comfort of your own environment.
Do you offer coaching without the full program?
Yes. Private 1:1 life coaching with James is available on its own, in person or online — covering sobriety, life after divorce, business and career, and life change.
What are the house rules?
No alcohol, drugs or gambling during your stay. Family and friend visits are encouraged, including overnight stays. You are free to explore Bali in your own time as your confidence returns, and your program can flex as we learn what works best for you.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. Every enquiry is read personally by James and handled in strict confidence. You'll hear back within 24 hours — no lists, and no follow-up calls unless you ask for one.
