Why Akasha?
“We Meet Our Patients Before We Meet Their Diseases.”
Unique, innovative, Integrative – and 100% focused on you.
At the Akasha Center, we believe that illness is not just a set of pathologies but a personal story. We start by conducting a 60 to 120- mins consultation to understand you as a whole person, not just as a symptom. Before establishing a well-thought-out diagnosis and treatment plan, we consider all factors impacting your mental and physical well-being.
Akasha employs natural, evidence-based medicine and state-of-the-art conventional therapies to optimize your health. You’ll have access to a talented, multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals who treat your mind, body, and spirit integratively. We firmly believe this approach yields long-lasting results, improves your day-to-day living – and is a “better way to feel better.”
