Chiva-Som Hua Hin Appoints Patience Sangwa as Resident Naturopath; Launches Online Consultations

(12/01/23)  The Chiva-Som Hua Hin has launched an online naturopathic and nutritional consultation programme specifically for children.

The programme, which will be headed by naturopathic doctor Patience Sangwa, has been designed to provide parents much-needed information on anything that concerns their child, such as nutrition and sleep, as well as mental and physical development.

Patience, a board-certified naturopath with the Allied Health Professionals Council of South Africa, 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 resident naturopath at Chiva-Som, Patience will investigate the hindrances to the wellbeing of guests and enable them to get closer to their health goals by looking at nutrition, mental health, sleep practices, physical activity and lifestyle habits.

“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.
