I had had a cough and fever for 10 days. My other doctors (2 of them) had told me to go home, rest and relax. They said I did not need to be anxious for what I had was just a bad virus. But I knew deep inside that something was wrong. I called the Akasha Center - I had read a brief article on them 2 years ago. They were able to see me right away. The doctor showed me genuine compassion when I broke down and told him I knew something was wrong and that I was afraid I was not going to be able to take care of my 2 year old son. He sent me in for an xray directly from his office calling the radiology dept at Saint John's himself. I then returned t the clinic. He was right - and so was I. I had a raging case of pneumonia. My husband was called at work and came to get me. They served me tea and had me lay down on a beautiful acupuncture room till my husband got there. Then they said I would be OK and this time I belived them. I saw the true healers they were. Thank you Gwyneth Paltrow for letting people know about these great healers ( read the article on InStyle Magazine)

I was a bit dissappointed with the service and overall care I recieved. They have a nice clean, calm lobby with running water in the background to ease your long waits. The front desk and staff are all very kind an curtious despite who you are........but that could be due the hefty, ridiculous fees they charge each session.
My first consultation meeting ran me $167.00 b/c the therapist had to get a full history in order to "properly treat me" which is OK if his cell phone hadn't gone off nearly 5 times during the initial intake before they finally turned it off. Then every sesssion after consisted of a string of excuses as to why they were late and in and out of the room during each session. Apparently they treat two people at once so you don't a whole lot of one on one attention with each therapit. I came in a number of times, spent a lot of money and I still wasn't cured. They like to tell paitents that recovery consits of a lot of tiny little steps so it takes time... but at $100.00 a step???!!! I know this is supposed to be a great Center but I think overall it's much too pricey for the average service they give. I've definatley had much better treatments for a lot less money. The only really good thing is that they have a number of different doctors under the same roof so they can conspire with one another if they need to to better assist you.
