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.
