Pioneering and transformative wellness destination Chiva-Som in Hua Hin, Thailand, is pleased to announce the appointment of Patience Sangwa – from South Africa, as resident Naturopath, bringing a wealth of experience and industry knowledge to the resort’s team of health and wellness experts.
A board-certified naturopath with the Allied Health Professionals Council of South Africa, Patience completed dual bachelor’s degrees in Complementary Health Sciences and Naturopathy at the University of the Western Cape, before undergoing clinical training in Cape Town.
As the resident Naturopath at Chiva-Som, Patience will investigate guests’ hindrances to wellbeing and provide an individualised holistic approach to achieving optimal health. By addressing nutrition, mental health, sleep practices, physical activities and lifestyle habits, Patience aims to treat not only symptoms, but mind, body and spirit too. This holistic system of wellbeing engages the guest as a partner in their own journey, exploring the essential aspects that promote health and wellbeing, while removing the factors that detract from them.
“I am passionate about empowering our guests to move in the direction of health in every aspect of their lives, by educating them on the dynamic relationship between the mind, body and spirit,” said Patience. “Just as the health of each organ in the body is co-dependent on the health of other organs, similarly, the health of an individual is connected to multiple factors affecting them, and diseases typically occur when a variety of systems become imbalanced. What I want to provide is simple yet effective guidance for achieving one’s wellness goals, promoting a balance of physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual health.”
Naturopathy is an excellent healthcare option for kids because it is gentle, non-invasive and looks for the underlying cause of a child’s discomfort or symptoms. It works to support their naturally high levels of vitality, build on their strengths and provide them with the necessary building blocks to grow into happy, healthy teens and adults.
