Maternal Recovery Program

Maternal Recovery Program

Being a mother poses immense challenges to the body, mind and spirit. This program seeks to offer mothers respite, healing and guidance through what may very well be the hardest things many have ever experienced in life; a child’s first years, breastfeeding troubles, multiple children, conflicting career demands, dealing with adolescents, etc.

The program focuses on two particular aspects of motherhood
A. Postpartum recovery and support of new mothers
B. Maternal Burnout through the life cycle

The program also seeks to integrate new neuroscience on infancy and childhood to help parents provide the best environment to facilitate healthy brain and emotional development in their children.

Jamie Lee Curtis

” I have gone through much of my life, not paying attention to my body and only responding to it when it’s in a crisis. As I’ve aged, I have needed to pay attention to the long game and Dr. de Mello has been my partner in that exploration. He has taught me that numbers don’t lie and his extensive testing has helped me see patterns and trends that I never wanted to look at. His focus and care has given me the confidence to know that I can, as we say in recovery “change the things I can.”

“I’ve been going to the Akasha Center for four months and together we’ve been working to create a better, healthier lifestyle that works for my hectic schedule. By sticking to a strict diet and exercise plan, as well as natural remedies and herbal supplements, I’ve lost over 40 pounds. Through hard work and commitment to making this life change, I now have more energy and feel better than ever.”

“After Dr. De Mello, I found the balance and health I needed. He had a loving approach to understanding my own body. The strength and readiness I feel is due to Dr. de Mello’s treatment.
Thanks Dr. D Mello!”
