Wellness 2025: Twelve Mindful Months at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai
A year-long journey of renewal and rejuvenation along the coast of Central Vietnam
Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai sets the scene for a year of wellness with an expansive journey designed to nurture body, mind, and spirit. Each month unfolds new pathways to holistic well-being through personalised consultations, profound rituals, and innovative therapies offered by resident experts as well as visiting practitioners.
At the core of the Resort’s wellness experience is the award-winning Heart of the Earth Spa, inspired by the teachings of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Set by a lotus-filled lagoon, this tranquil oasis serves as a catalyst for introspection and renewal, led by the holistic vision of Wellness Manager and Resident Naturopath Dr. Sudha Nair.
Explore twelve mindful months at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai with exclusive offerings from Visiting Practitioners, complemented by treatments and experiences at the Resort.
January: Detox and Reset
The year begins with a focus on detoxification and recovery, guided by skilled healer Azusa Segawa (1-10 January) who helps guests realign their emotional and physical energies. Chi Nei Tsang, an ancient Taoist massage, assists in the purification of internal organs, while Usui Reiki rebalances subtle energy centres, restoring the flow of life force throughout the body.
To further detoxify, head to the Spa for Nam Hai Stretch, a gentle therapy that releases muscle tension with the use of herbal poultices, or Adreno Scrub & Wrap, a crystal sound-enhanced treatment to boost adrenal health.
February: Emotional Cleansing
Emotional release takes centre stage with Jeannette Von Johnsbach (12-28 February) and her transformative Andreas Method, rooted in energy healing. Let go of long-held emotional blockages and anxieties, on both conscious and unconscious levels, while moving toward a lighter, more equilibrated self.
Celebrate Sound Healing Day (14 February) with a Crystal Singing Bowl Experience, which uplifts the mood using the therapeutic vibrations of crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz, believed to be the harmonic frequency of the universe that provides deep healing and alignment for the body and mind.
