​Hello, I'm Parichat Senkum, though most people know me as Gift.

​

Since I was young, I have always been fascinated by people, languages, books, music, and the human mind. This curiosity led me to study psychology and explore the many factors that influence our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Over the years, both my education and life experiences have deepened my understanding of how the brain, body, relationships, and environment shape the way we live and heal.

​

Throughout my professional journey, I have worked with individuals facing addiction, trauma, emotional challenges, and life transitions. While evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and EMDR have been valuable parts of my work, I have also witnessed something beautifully simple—healing can begin by slowing down, spending time in nature, finding moments of silence, and reconnecting with ourselves.

That belief inspired me to create Natureville.

​

As we live in a world that is constantly moving, we spend more time on our devices than with ourselves, more time consuming information than reflecting, and more time connected online than connected to the present moment. I wanted to create a place where people could step away from the noise, breathe deeply, embrace a slower rhythm of life, and rediscover the quiet beauty of simply being.

​

Natureville is not a treatment centre or a luxury resort. It is a peaceful sanctuary where simplicity, nature, mindfulness, and genuine rest come together. Whether you join our One-Day Silent Experience or stay with us for a few days, my hope is that you leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more connected—to yourself, to nature, and to what truly matters.

Professional Background

• MSc. in Clinical Psychology, Leiden University, The Netherlands

• BSc. in Psychology (International Programme), Leiden University, The Netherlands

• EMDR Level II Trained Practitioner

• ICAP I (International Certified Addiction Professional, by the Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Programme (DAP) and ICUDDR)

My professional experience has shaped the philosophy behind Natureville, but the experiences offered here are not psychotherapy or medical treatment. Natureville is a wellness and hospitality experience designed to support rest, mindfulness, self-reflection, and connection with nature in a safe and peaceful environment.

Thank you for being here. It is a privilege to welcome you to Natureville, and I sincerely hope your time here offers the space to pause, recharge, and return home with a renewed sense of peace and well-being.

​

With warmth,

Gift
