The advent of COVID-19 has been a life changing event which has affected almost every person upon planet earth. As experienced by those who have contracted it, there’s a wide variety of responses to this virus. After the healing period of COVID has passed, there are certain symptoms that persist and are common to many. Whether you’re sixty with slight flu like symptoms, or twenty and in hospital, it has become very clear that this virus holds no bias and is anything but predictable.


Our admirable healthcare workers are on the frontline, fully committed and dedicated to fighting this pandemic, leaving little or no time to assist those in their recovery of it. While doctors are saving lives, it is up to us to improve the quality of our own. It is in this that I share my personal experience of my stay on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, and how coming from the city, I chose this destination as a COVID Recovery Retreat stay.
Cape Town holds the title for being one of the finest city’s in Southern Africa. Although this may be true, it might not possess the same qualities and facilities as the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal when it comes to being a suitable environment for one to recover from COVID-19.
The Kwa-Zulu Natal South Coast is renowned for its naturally wide open spaces and environment that is occupied by few or no people. This facilitates social distancing and leaves one spoiled for choice with an array of bountiful activities that brings you closer to nature. Rebuild your immunity by taking long walks on kilometres of unspoilt coastline and breath in the fresh- “masked free” ocean air of isolated, golden beaches.
To complete your whole experience of the aftercare of COVID-19 recovery, we have on hand one of the finest holistic healers who is also an expert in the field of pain management. Sonia Fourie from Complementary & Alternative Health has developed a highly successful, post-COVID treatment in which she assists in strengthening lunge muscles, easing body pain, fighting fatigue, building on immunity and as well as addressing any other post-COVID symptoms.
The programme includes a variety of alternative treatments. From Qi-Gong breathing exercises that assist in moving blood and oxygen around the body, to medical cupping that promotes healing. A visit to Complementary & Alternative Health not only leaves you feeling restored, rejuvenated and nourished, but ready to face the world with results that last a lifetime.
