How much are we willing to invest for our health and wellness of our family? After toiling more than 12 hours a day while sacrificing time for family just to make more, and have more, still for them. But are we really investing the right amount of resources and time to have a balanced and fulfilling life.
I just came from a quick trip to Thailand to get some three days off from work and celebrate our ninth anniversary, but rather, I ended up staying at the hotel for two days because of pressing issues that we need take care for the business. But at least we got a day to visit a wellness center and experience a breathtaking view of the island and the authentic Thai massage.
So I plan to go back as I wanted to have the Chiva Som experience, until our dearest mentor Col. Michael Asperin, the director and the builder of the world-class facilities and destination in the country, such as Balesin, shared to us the news that we now have Aegle wellness center (Aegle-greek word that means goddess of radiant health) The Goddess of Radiant Health—in Balesin, which is far more than Chiva Som experience. It is the Philippines’s first and only facility where body, mind and spirit are nurtured in complimentary settings deigned to sustain the program gains made for long-lasting benefit. Aegle offers a comprehensive program uniquely designed to provide the resources, motivation and support needed to alter one’s lifestyle through sustainable, holistic healthcare program.

Aegle Wellness Center is a state-of-the-art integrated health and wellness center purposely set in two complementary sites—a five-star city center facility and an exclusive island resort setting—to nurture and sustain its unique wellness programs. Aegle is devoted to the maintenance of health through lifestyle modification based on cutting—edge technology from the basic sciences, such as cell physiology, molecular biology and human genomics.
Through an integrated approach based on scientific and medical diagnostics for early detection, prevention and correction of age-related imbalances, Aegle Wellness Center offers comprehensive evaluation of your body at a cellular level for a personalized program based on your specific profile. Protocols are hinged on the four foundations of wellness: natural detoxification, weight management, aging medicine and holistic health.
Leading aegle’s acclaimed medical team are Dr. Claude Chauchard, worldrenowned anti-aging and preventive medicine specialist; and Dr. Ben Valdecañas, the country’s leading authority in the field of sports and regenerative medicine.
Heralded in Greek mythology as the goddess of radiant good health, Aegle is the muse and inspiration behind Aegle Wellness Center for Longevity Medicine and Holistic Health. With two locations at the city club in Makati and at the greek-inspired Mykonos village in Balesin island club (just a 20-minute flight from Manila), Aegle’s tranquil, luxurious surrounding is the perfect setting for an urban or island wellness getaway.
My husband and I have invested a day of total wellness at the Makati City Aegle branch and I was really excited about the unique programs and especially curious of the Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Well, the only thing I can say is that this is the best executive full checkup I did with so much enjoyment, as I had a signature massage and herbal pools to enjoy after the diagnostics and treatment. Not to mention just chatting to the best doctor in town, Dr. Ben Valdecañas whom we have learned so much wellness tips, and the aimiable nurse like Van who made the journey so smooth and relaxing, and of course Sir Mike Asperin, the very hands-on boss who made the experience not only pleasant but is one of a kind!
We all know that the investment for these kind of experience and procedure is not really cheap, but as we have compared it to the likes of the Chiva Som program and other wellness haven in Asia. So far this is more than worth it. And we are more than blessed that there is now one in the Philippines.
