Our Philosophy & Commitment

The name 'Zen-tai' is Japanese in origin and is composed of two characters. The first character means "whole" and the second character means "body."

The meaning of Zen-tai captures the essence of holistic medicine, that is, to treat the person in their entirety. A person is composed of mind, spirit and body, and neglecting to address all of these as parts of the whole deprives the person from reaching their full health potential.

Zen-tai's philosophy is to be fully committed to the principles of wellness. That is, we will not do harm, we will co-operate with the healing power of nature, we will treat the cause, we will address the whole and we will educate the patient.
