The Spanish wellness clinic offers the same recipe for health as Kylie Minoque or Donna Karan. What's the secret to their fitness?
A vision for new health
Founded more than 15 years ago near Alicante, the SHA Spain Wellness Clinic has quickly become a leader in the field of integrative health and wellness. Its creation was inspired by the vision of Alfredo Bataller Parietti, who, after years of health problems when he faced an unpleasant diagnosis, was able to heal himself thanks to integrative medicine, especially a healthy and healing diet. Impressed by the impact of food and certain therapies on health, he felt the need to share and spread this valuable knowledge.
The exclusive SHA method, developed and overseen by world-renowned physicians and experts, combines the most advanced practices of scientific medicine - especially in the areas of prevention, genetics and aging well - with the most effective natural therapies, especially focusing on highly therapeutic nutrition. Over the past sixteen years, the sought-after SHA Wellness Clinic has transformed the lives of more than 75,000 people worldwide, including business leaders, heads of state, celebrities and professional athletes.

The 9 pillars of the SHA method
Nutrition
SHA nutrition is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. It is a balanced, natural and alkaline diet that is designed according to the individual's constitution and condition. The diet is based on foods of plant origin and to a lesser extent seafood, with the aim of being as organic, seasonal and local as possible. It avoids processed foods and draws on empirical knowledge gained in the East, supported by the principles of Harvard Medical School and the recommendations of the World Health Organization.
Preventive and anti-aging medicine
This field aims to slow the process of cell degeneration and reactivate your health potential. SHA experts seek to prevent or reverse premature aging by diagnosing its causes and inducing the natural stimulation and reconstruction of various metabolic processes and systems.
Cognitive and emotional health
This aspect involves neurocognitive consultations that study and work on higher mental functions, including relaxation, concentration and overcoming phobias. Emotional health then focuses on individual psychological care to help manage emotions, control negative thoughts and solve problems with greater assertiveness.
Well-being and inner balance
The fourth pillar of the SHA method is based on finding balance between body, mind and spirit. For example, it works with syoga, water therapies (watsu, hydro massage), body wraps and oriental treatments such as shiatsu and shirodhara.
Natural therapies
This area includes traditional Chinese medicine, osteopathy, colon cleansing and energy health. Diagnostics based on Eastern medicine will help you unblock the body's bioenergetic pathways and balance specific organ functions through the gentle insertion of needles or the application of local heat.
Advanced aesthetics
Physical appearance is an important element in achieving physical and mental balance, according to SHA experts. You can receive minimally invasive treatments that rejuvenate your physical appearance, delay the signs of aging, and enhance your body's natural beauty.
Physical exercise
SHA also has a team of physiotherapy and personal training experts, innovative state-of-the-art equipment and an ideal environment for overcoming limits, improving fitness and increasing vitality, all of which combine in a variety of exercises and physiotherapy sessions tailored to you.
Healthy Living Academy
Last but not least, the founders of SHA have also focused on the Healthy Lifestyle Academy through which you can take advantage of various group activities such as nature walks, exercise classes, mind and body development sessions, health and wellness lectures, healthy cooking classes, art exhibitions and live music performances.
