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 and Reiki.

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. Below is a brief description of some of these services and days they are offered at Being Alive.

All activities are at Being Alive in West Hollywood unless another location is specified. Note that appointments are required for many activities. Others are walk-in and served in order, except for group events.
