“I deeply believe in a medicine that honors the body as a temple filled with wisdom.”
About me
I am Aina Mata, a physical therapist and specialist in Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology with training in Traditional Japanese Medicine and Acupuncture. For over four years, I have been practicing in Southeast Asia, especially in Bali, where I have been able to naturally integrate conventional Western medicine with traditional Eastern knowledge.
My approach to medicine is deeply integrative: I believe in a medicine that doesn't just address symptoms, but rather listens to the body as a whole, recognizing the interrelationship between the immune, hormonal, digestive, emotional, and energetic systems. For me, diagnosis is a dance between scientific knowledge and intuitive clinical listening. I don't believe in generic solutions, but rather in unique paths for each human being.
Over the years, I have worked with a wide variety of pathologies, specializing in digestive disorders such as SIBO and bacterial, parasitic, and viral infectious diseases such as dengue, using a functional and personalized approach. My practice is based on both clinical evidence and respect for biological rhythms and the body's wisdom.
In Bali, I've had the privilege of leading and co-creating spaces where I've been able to share my knowledge with multidisciplinary and cultural teams that integrate the ancestral with the contemporary. HOM Integrative Medicine, along with Maria Punti, is a small temple and space where we expand our knowledge, always with respect, empathy, and love for this craft that nourishes us so much.
I began exploring health through the mouth, as a dental technician and dental hygienist, and ended up understanding that everything is connected: the gut, the brain, and emotions. Today, my approach to care is born from that integrative, precise, and deeply human perspective.
My training and experience have led me to understand that healing isn't just about eliminating a disease, but about restoring the body's natural ability to self-regulate. And that is precisely the art I love to practice every day.
