The Akasha Center

Why Akasha?

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.”

A Better Way to Get Better.

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.”

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
Alice-Braga

“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!”

Alice Braga, Actress

Dylan McDermott

“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.”

Dylan Mcdermott, Actor
