The Akana Commitment
Akana’s vision is to provide the most through, caring and comprehensive medical and whole person care in Australia and our mission is to do this while acknowledging a patient’s sovereignty, paving the way for our patients to claim back their health in all arenas.
We are inspired by the story of the mythological Sea goddess, Akana, and the significant part she is understood to have played in one of the creation stories, creating land and life as we know it.
Akana’s story – like those in our care – is one of power, conviction, positive action and dignity.
Just as she was the initiator of creation, we see our role as helping people initiate their fresh journey to create a new life of health and wellness.
Our Values
Excellence. We commit to delivering excellence in the medical and complementary advice and care we provide to all and understand considerable time is required to do this comprehensively.
Compassion & Respect. We will treat everyone with kindness and respect. We will honour and aim to understand the whole person, including the stories and desires of those in our care, so suggested interventions and changes are achievable, sustainable and aligned with their intentions.
Self-empowerment & Collaboration. We will always acknowledge those in our care know their bodies better than anyone else. We will nourish our patients’ intuition and ability to listen to their inner wisdom. Our practitioners will collaborate – as permitted by you – to enable better healing, care and learning.

frequently asked questions
How does Akana work?
At Akana Integrative Medicine, we offer face-to-face consultations with a range of doctors and practitioners, based on your preference.
Our approach includes longer consultations to enable us to take a comprehensive health history, undertake any relevant examinations and develop a holistic treatment plan that is aligned with your goals. At Akana, we know much more health and healing can be achieved in an hour-long appointment, than compared to four shorter ones.
Our plans are also practical and easy to apply to your daily life.
If required to support your wellness journey, we will direct you to other practitioners and, with your consent, we can collaborate to ensure optimal treatment.
Alongside our holistic doctors, we utilise health coaches, and a range of allied and complementary health practitioners, to aid in uncovering blocks to your recovery and facilitate the changes necessary to advance your healing journey.
