On completing his apprenticeship, Roland opened a clinic in Dharamshala, North India, whilst studying Tibetan Buddhist philosophy with Geshe Sonam Rinchen. He connects the Maya and Tibetan worlds of medicine and healing, with emphasis on ceremonies, meditation and shamanic practices used in the Kagyu lineage and Bon Buddhism.

Roland runs sweat lodges in Kent and maintains close ties with Mexico, working part of the year with communities in Guanajuato, Chiapas and Oaxaca, where he hosts a retreat each spring.
