Wellness Center

Complimentary therapies cover a broad range of healing philosophies and approaches. Some approaches are consistent with physiological principles of Western medicine, while others constitute independent healing systems. Many PWA’s find these therapies support their treatment with HAART therapy. Being Alive provides complimentary therapies to our members in a safe and supportive environment at our West Hollywood facility. These services are provided by caring HIV sensitive practitioners. Being Alive offers a strong menu of therapies which include: Massage, Hypnotherapy, Chiropractic, Yoga, Acupuncture, Reiki and Healing Touch Being Alive provides these services at no cost to our members, although donations are greatly appreciated and help sustain these services. As a peer led organization we know the importance in creating a welcoming atmosphere for our members seeking these services.
