Tap into a multitude of well-being wonders with world-renowned masters

Not only famous for the mindfulness spirit that infuses every wellness activity for the mind, body and soul, the spa that has won Five Star Award for 5 consecutive years from Forbes – Heart of The Earth Spa, is also marked by the periodic selection and invitation to Vietnam of the world's leading therapists. The visiting practitioner program has been going on for many years and is always anticipated by domestic and international visitors. During this summer's schedule, visitors at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An will have the opportunity to experience the skillful therapeutic skills of Mr. Alex Scrimgeour, an expert in Dien Chan and full-body reflexology, and Mr. Raaj Nair, a certified pranic psychotherapist and healer.

The Dien Chan Facial and Body Reflexology by Alex Scrimgeour will take place from June 6 to 25. Specifying in stress and trauma resolution - and trained in therapeutic modalities from Tui-Na to Thai Massage, acupressure to qigong – Alex is dedicated to helping people achieve optimum health and happiness. His skills in Dien Chan, a method of health diagnosis through the skin and acupressure according to the principle of nerve reflex, invoke a journey of profound tension relief and rejuvenation: soothing and balancing the nervous and hormonal systems, reducing inflammation, boosting immunity and releasing emotional blocks. In addition to his treatment sessions, he will also be teaching Tai Chi at 8:00 - 8:45 every Tuesday and Sunday in complimentary sessions at The Heart of The Earth Spa, as well as offering bespoke private sessions for guests upon request.

Renowned expert Alex Scrimgeour will personally provide therapy for guests staying at Four Seasons The Nam Hai, Hoi An this June.

Pranic Psychotherapy by Raaj Nair will take place from August 3 to 15. As a certified Pranic Psychotherapist, Raaj Nair’s intuitive approach is a powerful blend of the practical and the spiritual, addressing the "energy body" that heals the physical body. His Pranic Psychotherapy sessions resolve a variety of mental health conditions such as depression, trauma, obsession and addiction. His expertise also includes the release of emotions through Crystal Spa treatments to overcome emotional challenges and improve communications between partners.

In addition to treatment sessions with world-renowned masters, busy guests can also opt for the “Wellness Recharge” offer, a new creation of Four Seasons The Nam Hai, Hoi An that is available from now until the end of 2023. This is a short 3-night stay, combined with unique spa and wellness treatments every day at The Heart of The Earth Spa.

“Our aim with Wellness Recharge is to give people the opportunity to disconnect from the demands of their daily life,” says Spa Manager, Oanh Ngo. “We take our commitment to the concept of ‘retreat’ very seriously. So, we provide guests with the time and space to refresh their senses, reconnect with each other, and find peace and stillness. These are priceless gifts.”

The retreat includes three of The Heart of The Earth Spa’s signature rituals. In the first of these, the Crystal Singing Bowl Experience, eight synchronised quartz crystal bowls tuned to the harmonic frequency of the universe (432 Hz) ring in a hypnotic serenade; the resulting vibrations immerse the listener in a bath of soul-soothing softness.

The second ritual, Nam Hai Earth Song, also begins with a crystal singing bowl experience to calm the mind and body, followed by an aura-clearing smudge of Vietnamese agarwood, then a body scrub and bath using herbs from the Nam Hai Resort garden. Next is a bespoke massage, with therapists using tension-melting homemade ginger paste on the spine, and a gem-tipped tuning fork placed on acupuncture points to shift blocked energy. The treatment concludes with a crystal singing bowl sound bath.

The final ritual is the Cocooning Meditation. Wrapped in a weightless hanging silk hammock, guests are guided through breathwork and soothing imagery to impart a deep sense of calm and total relaxation. All of the treatments work on the body’s subtle energies, helping retreat participants to release old emotional wounds and let go of anxiety and worry.

In addition to the services included in the Wellness Recharge retreat, guests are welcome to practice meditation and yoga, as well as Tai Chi and other wellness rituals and classes. They are also invited to explore the grounds of the Resort and Ha My Beach, considered the best in Vietnam by Forbes Travel Guide. For adventures further afield, transport can be arranged to any or all of the three nearby UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An earned the Forbes Five Star Award for the fifth consecutive year in 2023 and a place on Travel + Leisure’s 10 Best Resorts in Southeast Asia for 2022. In 2019 its Heart of The Earth Spa was named Best Emotional Recovery Space at the Condé Nast Traveller Spa Awards.
