The Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine
begins to offer health and wellness packages in partnership with
State of the Heart Fitness & the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel.
The Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine is a physician-led medical center within walking
distance of State of the Heart Fitness and the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. The Akasha
center brings together the technological advances of Western Medicine with the wisdom of
natural therapies and scientifically proven complementary modalities. They utilize a holistic
approach to healing patients with specific medical issues (hypertension, gastro-intestinal issues,
diabetes, etc), helping people detoxify or cleanse and help develop wellness and illness
prevention plans.
Recently, the Akasha Center began coordinating with the Loews and State of the Heart Fitness
to offer a comprehensive package that includes medical visits, complementary therapies,
exercise and VIP treatment at the Loews including cleanse-friendly meals and special hotel
rates.
Each package is individualized around a person’s specific needs, but most would include an
initial visit with either a medical doctor or naturopathic doctor, specialized testing to identify
the source of health issues, one or two medical follow-up visits to review test results and
formulate a wellness plan, visits with a Chinese medicine specialist who performs acupuncture
or an Ayurvedic practitioner, massage, stress management sessions and sessions with a health
oriented life coach.
We recently had a patient from out of state who experienced the Akasha/Loews/State of the
Heart Fitness coordinated approach to her medical problems. She stayed at the Loews for 2
weeks while undergoing a full medical evaluation at the Akasha Center. She had 4 visits with
the doctors there, including the Naturopath and Akasha’s osteopathic physician. She underwent
specialized testing and a personalized 2 weeks of Akasha’s detoxification cleanse was
developed for her. She was able to make her breakfast smoothie in her hotel room and the hotel
chef worked with Akasha to be sure she had cleanse-friendly meals throughout her stay. She
had acupuncture treatment, a stress management session and multiple sessions with our health
oriented life coach.
The Akasha centers helps people understand how all aspects of one’s life, including diet,
exercise, stress, chronic diseases, sleep, medications, supplements and social support affect their
health. They work not only with these elements, but also with others based on a patient’s
individual needs to formulate a plan for prevention and treatment. A comprehensive 3 week
detoxification cleanse that includes supplements, green protein smoothies, acupuncture, stress
management and an exercise program – is the cornerstone of treatment approach to better
health and increased vitality. All of these programs are readily available for people who stay “in
residence” at the Loews. Please contact Akasha at 310-451-8880 and ask for their Director of
Operations, Brent Bowers, or their Director of Wellness Integration, Kirsten Welles, for more
