About Bella Sano
The name “BellaSano” is Italian in origin and translates to "Good Health.” BellaSano’s philosophy captures the true meaning of holistic medicine, that is a person is composed of mind, body and soul, and neglecting to address all of these as parts of the whole deprives the person from reaching their full health potential.
We emphasize treating the cause of the illness rather than just the symptoms, and will follow a holistic and natural approach to assessment, diagnosis and treatment, with an emphasis on prevention and health maintenance. This initiates a path to long-term improvement of health and well-being.
BellaSano is fully committed to the principles of wellness and will co-operate with the healing power of nature, we will address the whole and we will educate “You” the patient.
