Shanti Vijayakumar
TSW Warrior | Team Member at CAP Clinic TSW Solution Thailand
When Shanti first encountered TSW, it was through the voices of real people living through one of the most misunderstood and isolating healing journeys imaginable. As a member of the CAP Clinic team in Thailand, she’s had the privilege of supporting and observing over 200 TSW cases up close.
This guide is the result of years of learning and listening - shaped not only by her own lived experience, but by the wisdom and dedication of Jay, the clinic director at CAP Clinic Thailand. His two decades of experience treating TSW patients laid the groundwork for so much of what’s included here.
For Shanti, this guide is a compassionate companion - something to bring you clarity when everything feels overwhelming, and warmth when the journey feels cold.
Shaista Kurji
Shaista began her TSW journey like so many others — feeling lost, confused, and overwhelmed. In search of answers and real support, she travelled to Thailand and spent seven months receiving CAP treatment at CAP Clinic TSW Solution. During that time, she not only experienced profound healing, but also made it her mission to learn directly from Jay and the incredible CAP community, both in Thailand and in the UK.
That time - observing, listening, asking questions, and connecting with others on the same path - deeply shaped her understanding of this condition and her commitment to helping others navigate it with more clarity and confidence.
As a coach, she now supports TSW warriors in addressing the emotional and mental toll of this condition - helping them move through trauma, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with themselves.
