An Optimal Approach to Weight Loss and the Role of Detoxification

Losing kilos is at the top of the wish list for many people thinking about a detox, and while it is usually one of the results, it’s not the goal, and what you gain from a detox is much more impressive than what you lose.

Kamalaya co-founder Karina Stewart on Women's Health

“It is wonderful to see that modern women have so many options to express their personality, with multiple career opportunities and life choices, as well as a caring mother, family member and friend”, says Karina Stewart, Kamalaya Koh Samui Co-founder and Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine. “At the same time, as natural care-givers, a self-neglect with regard to our own needs is very common. I think it’s important to make women aware how vital it is to look after themselves”. In this video, Karina shares some practical self-care tips for women at different stages of their lives.

Kamalaya Healthy Lifestyle Programs

For optimal wellbeing, it is important that we embrace a healthy lifestyle that incorporates the basic foundations of good nutrition and appropriate exercise.

Karina Stewart, Kamalaya Koh Samui Co-founder and a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, talks about Kamalaya Koh Samui's Healthy Lifestyle programs, which take a foundation approach by dealing with weight loss, nutrition and fitness to help people start their journey into vital vibrant health.

Intro to Emotional Balance

Emotional balance is a vital ingredient for personal wellbeing and the health of our relationships, including the essential one we have with ourselves. Reactions and responses to everyday situations, our decision-making abilities are heavily influenced by our emotional framework. Karina Stewart explains why nowadays it is so difficult to stay connected to our own emotions and reveals powerful techniques to stay emotionally balanced. Especially dedicated to creating emotional balance is Kamalaya’s latest wellness program “Embracing Change”.

Embracing Change

The Embracing Change program is the first of Kamalaya's wellness programs to focus on exploring one's inner life and emotional disposition. This is an ideal program to enrich your emotional wellbeing and life fulfillment. The focus throughout the program is to address current life situations with effective tools to restore emotional balance. Suitable for anyone seeking support for life change and life challenging situations of any kind, to prevent the stress build-up that often results in emotional burn-out, as well as for targeting emotionally-driven eating habits, relationship issues including loss or break-ups, work related difficulties, anxiety and grief.
