Dr. Rossamon Pengsingh is a licensed Thai Traditional Medicine Doctor with over 11 years of clinical experience, but her calling to healing began long before formal study. Her grandfather was a traditional healer in Vientiane, Laos, who offered medicine and care to villagers during the turbulent communist regime. When her family fled to Thailand amid war and danger, they carried with them a deep lineage of traditional knowledge and a legacy of service that now lives on through Dr. Rossamon.

She holds a Bachelor of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine (B.App.TTM) from Burapha University (2012), a Master of Science in Public Health (Wellness Science – วิทยาศาสตร์เพื่อความงามและสุขภาพ) from Mahidol University (2018), and is a registered Thai Traditional Medicine Practitioner (License No. พท.ป.1462). Her clinical specializations include traditional Thai abdominal massage, herbal compress and flame therapy, holistic wellness planning including therapeutic meal design, diabetic wound healing with Thai herbal formulations, and integrative diabetes care.

Dr. Rossamon currently practices and teaches at Sakon Nakhon Crown Prince Hospital, where she is respected for both her clinical excellence and heart-centered approach. Her groundbreaking work has earned national recognition, including 2nd Prize at the National Thai Traditional and Local Medicine Innovation Competition (2017) for her research on Thai herbal formulations for chronic diabetic foot ulcers, and the National Health Research Excellence Award for Community Innovation (Category 8). She has been featured in multiple Ministry of Public Health research forums and has received numerous regional awards for oral and poster presentations in traditional medicine research (2015–2023).

Dr. Rossamon’s rare combination of ancestral wisdom, rigorous scientific training, and genuine compassion creates a truly unique learning experience. Her students don’t just learn techniques—they understand the why behind every movement, anchored in generations of wisdom. She bridges ancestral healing traditions with modern clinical practice, ensuring students master authentic Thai medicine while developing the practical expertise to serve clients with confidence and skill in contemporary wellness settings.
