Alternatively, guests can choose:
  • Gut Health Holistic Therapeutic Massage
    • The ‘Gut Health Holistic Therapeutic massage’ healing practice combines elements of Chi Nei Tsang with other methods such as the Japanese Abdominal Hara Massage, Thai Krasai Massage and hot stones. The combination of methodologies works on transformations in the internal organs. Multiple disciplines alleviate sedimentation in the veins, and are beneficial for balancing and healing the digestive and gastrointestinal system. This therapy works to resolve bladder problems, liver problems, detoxification, insomnia, fatigue, and to improve blood circulation, flexibility and the range of motion and longevity in the patient, as well as easing muscle tension and pain.

  • Chi Nei Tsang
    • A speciality at Chiva-Som, Thailand’s unique abdominal massage works directly over the navel and surrounding abdominal areas where stress, tension and negative emotions accumulate. If this area is congested, the circulating energy of the body is blocked, slowly weakening internal organs and decreasing energy and vitality. Chi Nei Tsang helps to quickly release negative emotions and tension, bringing comfort to the abdomen and vital energy to the organs. This technique is particularly effective for those who have digestive problems. A course of three treatments is recommended for optimal benefits.

  • Ear-Ab Reflex
    • Ear-abdominal reflexology is an effective alternative to Chi Nei Tsang or abdominal massage, ideal for those who prefer a lighter touch. Ear Ab Reflex stimulates points in the ears that reflect the associated organs in the body, based on the same meridian principles as TCM. By facilitating energy flow within the major systems of the body from the ear reflex points, the body can be restored to its optimal function.

  • Yoga (50 mins)

  • Pranayama
    • Prana means breath, respiration, life, vitality, wind, energy or strength. Ayama means length, expansion, stretching or restraint. Pranayama is therefore the science of breath, or the extension of breath and its control. Even as emotional excitement affects the rate of breathing, deliberate regulation of respiration keeps emotional excitement in check. Regular practice of pranayama will slow your heart and bring a subjective experience of relaxation. Proper breathing techniques can create space for personal healing and transformational growth.

Alternatively, guests can choose
  • Acupressure Reflexology
    • A traditional Chinese healing method, reflexology works on the connection between specific reflex points in the feet and all other body parts. After determining these tender and tense spots, the therapist then applies pressure on the feet to alleviate the local discomfort and treat the body parts reflected. Reflexology stimulates these points in order to improve and strengthen the weak areas of the body, remove congestion and eliminate discomfort. As tensions are eased and circulation is improved, this gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.

  • Chi Nei Tsang
    • A speciality at Chiva-Som, Thailand’s unique abdominal massage works directly over the navel and surrounding abdominal areas where stress, tension and negative emotions accumulate. If this area is congested, the circulating energy of the body is blocked, slowly weakening internal organs and decreasing energy and vitality. Chi Nei Tsang helps to quickly release negative emotions and tension, bringing comfort to the abdomen and vital energy to the organs.

By facilitating energy flow within the major systems of the body from the ear reflex points, the body can be restored to its optimal function.

  • Lumbo-Pelvic Rhythm Exercise

  • Chiva-Som Signature Total Body Care
    • This splendid experience begins with a dry skin brush and a Deep Cleansing Coffee Body Scrub, before moving on to a deeply soothing aromatherapy massage with a selection of Chiva-Som signature massage oils. Afterwards, our therapist will gently treat your facial skin with an exfoliating cleanse, lymphatic drainage and pressure point techniques, as well as a scalp massage for supreme relaxation. After this complete treatment, your skin will have its own remarkably smooth glow, leaving you relaxed and refreshed for the rest of the day.

  • Detox Set for five nights
    • A set of vitamins and minerals, as well as the herbs and foods that contain them, specially chosen to assist your body in the detoxification phase of your retreat.
