As travellers in 2026 increasingly seek wellness experiences that go beyond the surface, Coqoon Spa at The Slate Phuket introduces Holistic Healing by Yoko Kawaguchi, a personalised therapy journey guided by a certified holistic practitioner with over 20 years’ experience in luxury wellness.
Originally from Japan, Yoko Kawaguchi specialises in supporting the body’s natural self-healing abilities by balancing the autonomic nervous system, helping to regulate stress response, rest, digestion, and recovery. Her sessions gently weave together Auriculotherapy (Ear Reflexology), AromaTouch, and Traditional Japanese Reiki, creating a sensory-rich, deeply calming experience designed to ease tension, encourage relaxation, and improve overall vitality.
Guests are invited to begin with a complimentary 15-minute consultation, ensuring every session is tailored to individual needs. Depending on goals and how the body responds, the experience may include Auriculotherapy (Ear Reflexology) for holistic well-being, a tranquil mind ritual and Aroma Reiki healing.
“Modern wellness is shifting towards alternative approaches that help people feel regulated, grounded, and genuinely renewed,” says Krystal Prakaikaew Na-Ranong, owner of The Slate. “At The Slate, we continually welcome different wellness practitioners to help guests experience new therapies that complement our comprehensive spa offerings, with the aim to help our guests find their harmony, balance and vitality. We know Yoko Kawaguchi’s sessions will be in high demand.”
Across the globe, alternative and holistic therapies are becoming a defining wellness movement for 2026 as people prioritise emotional, mental and physical health. Guests increasingly demand a personalised approach that speaks directly to them, which is why a tailored consultation approach works best.
Coqoon Spa at the Slate Phuket is one of the best spas in Thailand, where you will find water features, wooden pathways and unique cocoon-shaped rooms that provide the perfect setting for bliss, all in a tropical setting that immediately makes you feel at peace. The most luxurious treatment room is referred to as The Nest and is suspended amongst the trees, so that you feel at one with nature as you luxuriate in your treatment.
In addition to Coqoon Spa, The Slate offers treatments through Kru Wellness to provide a tailored approach to wellbeing, based on genetics, immune function, metabolism, and nutrient deficiencies. Guests can avail themselves of a variety of treatments including NAD+ therapy, peptide therapy, stem cell therapy, full health and wellness checks, vitamin infusions and more. This makes The Slate Phuket your one-stop wellness sanctuary in the heart of Phuket.
