Your Teacher

Katie Parson

Katie has always been fascinated by the relationship between food and how it directly affects our physical and emotional wellness. This interest was born when Katie started experimenting with her own diet after years of digestive issues and getting tests with inconclusive results. It was at this time that she realised the power of the diet on the overall function of our bodies. With a background as a Mental Health Nurse Katie decided to deepen her understanding of food and nutrition and went on to study Human Nutrition gaining a Masters Degree in 2012. Katie went on to work in a hospital setting working on a one to one basis and in a group setting. Katie has been practicing yoga for 6 years, deepening her yoga asana and pranayama practice following her teacher training here at Samahita Retreat in 2014.

Katie’s passion lies in helping people find a way to feel their most confident in their knowledge and understanding of what foods work best for them and why.

Samahita Retreat is set away from the busy tourist areas, chosen for its proximity to Koh Samui’s important cultural and historical landmark, Laem Sor Pagoda.
Our location on this beach makes Samahita the ideal setting for long walks and relaxation. We offer complimentary tours to local markets and a boat trip to beautiful surrounding islands for all our guests.

Our rooms are set back from the main retreat, perfect for quiet contemplation and relaxation. Our eco-friendly buildings make use of cross ventilation, natural lighting, rainwater harvesting, and solar power. We have rooms for couples and singles, as well as loft-style accommodations that are ideal for families or two people sharing.

Regardless of which room you stay in, the yoga shala, restaurant and lounge, swimming pool, and beach are only one minute away. You can see the ocean from some of the balconies in the top level rooms  but we cannot guarantee sea views.
