LOCKDOWN LEADER: Chiva-Som
Chiva-Som, pioneer in transformative wellness practices, has launched the Chiva-Som Online Wellness Services, to provide wellbeing support during the crisis. Provided by the retreat’s world leading wellness advisors, practitioners and experts, the services include consultations, activities and physical training, all of which will be conducted one-on-one.
When Chiva-Som launched 25 years ago, its aim was to be Boonchu Rojanastien’s holistic weekend retreat for his family. However when friends got wind of the transformative powers of the retreat and started making noises about visiting the secret health sanctuary, he enlisted the world’s leading healers, renovated the property and, in 1995 welcomed Chiva-Som’s first guests.
Chiva-Som has delivered its proven holistic wellness therapies to guests worldwide for over 25 years. In these challenging times, maintaining physical and mental wellbeing is much needed. The new teletherapy service at Chiva-Som will connect individuals with the resort’s team to provide bespoke professional support during this time of heightened anxiety and social isolation. Participants will be able to speak directly to the experienced wellness team live from home via video communication and receive personalised feedback regarding lifestyle and nutrition.
Chiva-Som is also sharing a collection of on-demand, inspirational wellness content and hands-on tools across the resort’s digital channels to help everyone adapting to a new way of life within the limits of home. From healthy cuisine recipes and holistic wellbeing advice, to virtual exercise programmes and self-training tutorials, all curated by the resort’s world-class team of trainers and education facilitators, to keep the body and mind active and healthy whilst the resort is closed. Example features include tips on boosting the immune system and how to promote restful sleep; Pilates, yoga and meditation sessions; pranayama classes; and tutorials to teach to self-massage at home. These are available on Chiva-Som’s blog , Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
“Now is a time for support, collaboration and encouragement. We are committed to our guests and community, in which we are striving to distribute our wellness resources to support people’s wellbeing without boundaries. We shall pass this together.” said Krip Rojanastien, Chairman and CEO of Chiva-Som.
