We envision a world where the ancient wisdom of Hilot is embraced and integrated into contemporary Healthcare, promoting a Balanced and Harmonious Life for All.

These practices are native to the Philippines on which we practice. Majority of the treatment modality of Hilot has been practiced at the Primary Healthcare Level.
