Akasha Center
A Better Way to Get Better

What people are saying about Akasha…

" 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.”

Jamie Lee Curtis Actress

"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."

Lee Daniels Director

"I have known Dr. Edison De Mello for many years now. He has proven himself to be an outstanding doctor. His knowledge of integrative medicine is second to none. I was loking for an M.D. who understood both western and eastern medicine and I found it."
