Tell us about the bespoke wellness counseling process you designed for guests.
Guests can embark on a journey with a three-step assessment including a health and wellness counseling session, functional fitness assessment at RAKxa GAYA, and in-depth medical consultation at VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center and Traditional Wellness at RAKxa JAI . We place emphasis on addressing the entirety of an individual’s health by comprehensively reviewing their medical history to gain a complete understanding of their current health status. After the initial consultation, a tailored program is designed to ensure you feel comfortable and confident incorporating the changes into your daily life. Your treatment plan will evolve over time as you progress
in your wellness journey. Next, we move on to the Functional Fitness Assessment (FFA) to analyze your essential daily functional movement including strength, mobility, balance and coordination to guide you to the right treatments, classes and exercises that suit you best while you are with us and in the your daily life at home. Then guests will have the opportunity to consult an anti-aging doctor to review all their conditions. Additionally, at the VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center at RAKxa Wellness, a comprehensive repertoire of laboratory tests including comprehensive blood work, hormone panel screening, food intolerance testing, micronutrient testing and urine metal testing is provided along with the consultation online with nutritionists. Our Anti-Aging Physicians will work in collaboration with fellow RAKxas Traditional Therapists with years of experience practicing Ayurveda, Traditional Thai Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, to create a personalized and fully integrative wellness program.
What was the inspiration behind the launch of RAKxa, the luxury wellness destination?
We understand that everyone’s journey to health is unique and ever-changing. When it comes to individual health, a one-size-fits-all treatment will not be as effective as a personalized one where each individual’s health issues are treated uniquely. We are dedicated to being your trusted healthcare guide, offering invaluable support to those navigating the intricacies of the healthcare system. We are dedicated to healing, support and prevention – a lasting wellness journey tailored to your unique needs. We embrace a whole integrative approach to wellness through a combination of healthcare, therapies, treatments and wisdom from traditional and modern medicine, along with nutrition, rest and harnessing their unique healing benefits which complement each other, then integrate them into a system of healing or what we call a program, to provide synergistic and complementary wellness results, with a more enjoyable healing experience. Our brand philosophy states: Health is Wealth Everyone wants to protect and cherish their health as much as their wealth.
We believe that a balance of opposing forces, known as Yin and Yang, is critical to both optimal bodily functioning and overall health.
The villas are designed to encourage deep rest and reflection. How does the design and layout ensure maximum relaxation?
The layout and function of the villas are ergonomically designed by doctors to create a safe and comfortable resting space for all. The height of the beds is set at no more than 70cm for maximum comfort, especially for elderly guests or guests with back pain and injuries. Natural materials are chosen such as hypoallergenic cotton silk sheets, with a choice of six types of pillows for our guests to choose from (contour massage, cervical opedic, classic natural latex, buckwheat, mate and memory foam), all are made with natural materials . The organic selection of amenities made from high quality natural materials designed by local Thai brands embrace the idea of giving back to the local community. Our rooms are decorated in earthy tones, creating a calm and serene atmosphere. Soft fabrics and blackout curtains are installed in all villas so that our guests can enjoy a peaceful and undisturbed night’s sleep.
RAKxas wellness cuisine is all about ingredients. How does the retreat focus on restoring balance through food?
We believe that good food is the best medicine. Our food philosophy is rooted in the idea that what we eat can have a profound impact on our overall health and well-being. By understanding the unique dietary needs, conditions and preferences of each of our guests, we could offer a customized healthy and balanced diet menu. At the outset of the program our chefs and nutritionists collaborate with physicians and use laboratory dietary test results to curate customized menus that meet individual health goals, from optimizing gut health for efficient nutrient absorption to effortless minimize and ultimately eliminate harmful toxins accumulated in the body. Additionally, we work with our traditional medicine practitioners and believe that a balance of opposing forces, known as Yin and Yang, is critical to both optimal functioning of the body and overall health.
Science and tradition meet at RAKxa. How do traditional treatments combine with energy healing practices?
Energy medicine at RAKxa Integrative Wellness is a healing practice based on the perpetual transmutation of vibrational energy and has been around for centuries. The techniques are cultivated in various cultures and traditions, and our talented gurus perform them with grace and skill. At RAKxa, we offer unique examples of this methodology from all corners of the world: singing bowls from ancient Tibet, chakra and pranic healing, part of the ancient Ayurvedic methodology, crystal healing that dates back to ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, and Reiki, which comes from Japan. The transformative effects of energy healing help release joy and peace by manipulating brain waves, improving individuals’ chemistry and hormone levels, removing energy stagnation, and improving your overall well-being. Energy healing can be integrated and curated alongside other medical services, whether it be exercise, physical therapy, or the delivery of medical care such as intravenous vitamin (IV) infusions, because we want everyone to be healthy both inside and out. out and, importantly, in mind and spirit.

RAKxas team of physiotherapists and sports scientists conducts a comprehensive assessment of guests body posture, stability, endurance, strength, coordination and balance, as well as daily movement using state-of-the-art equipment and world-class Olympic Grade Standard machines as analysis of the gait pattern with gait analysis, functional assessment with Huber, and neuromuscular reactivation using red cord muscle function restoration with red cord exercise.
