Understanding, healing, and developing with a 360° approach.
The rising complexity of human life and the evolution of science demand integration, not the past practice of compartmentalisation of mental health and physical health.
Research clearly shows that the only way to change, heal and grow is applying a multi-disciplinary and integrative approach, encompassing mind flows, body maps, communication patterns, postures, nutrition and metabolism, motivation and needs, movements, adaptation and emotional processes.
Integrative Sciences delve deep in different disciplines, integrates them and develops practical models, tools and techniques to gain a complete big picture of your clients or patients needs, the way them functions and help them with a global approach.
Science and research based, with heart and passion.
We want to support all those professionals looking for quality and effectiveness. We, with the help of our team and interacting with our brilliant community of professionals, integrate different disciplines to act on all levels of change and health.
We rely on well founded sciences, disciplines, we look at the most relevant researches and we do research ourselves. All our courses, methods, books, models and techniques are the result of a long path of analysis, testing and continuously perfecting process.
The Integrative Sciences offer you the latest theories and effective tools to:
Manage Emotions
Regulate Stress and Anxiety Responses
Bring Back to Physiology Mental, Postural and Relational Flows

Dr. Sara Achilli, B.Sc. Nutrition
Founder and Vice President of the Association for Integrative Sciences, Sara Achilli is an expert in nutrition and well-being, with a deep focus on understanding how food and physical activity impact health, emotional responses, mood, and cognitive function. Her work centers on optimizing metabolic balance and addressing inflammatory states through an integrative approach that combines diet, exercise, and stress management, with a particular emphasis on functional nutrition to address the root causes of health challenges.

Her expertise extends to exploring the complex interactions between nutrition, cellular and inflammatory responses, pain management, and emotional and behavioral regulation.
Her research also focuses on how diet influences systemic inflammation and its connection to chronic diseases, stress, and mental health. Drawing from the latest scientific discoveries, she offers practical strategies to reduce inflammation and improve overall well-being.
Sara is the author of several books and articles, including:

STRESS, EMOTION and HEALTH
The Manual for Integrative Professionals
Stress and emotions are two central elements of human life and experience. They are the two main mechanisms by which we adapt to the world, manage dangers, overcome daily challenges and face the great challenges that we are passionate about. They are also at the heart of our motivations and relationships. Unfortunately, they are also the same mechanisms through which, more often than one thinks, the processes that lead to the development of various types of diseases and dysfunctions begin. In fact, stress and emotional responses are complex phenomena, involving all mind-body aspects.
In this text we analyse all the systems involved in a structured, scientific and practical way: the most sophisticated interactions between posture, emotions and the immune system; the links between the language with which we think and the ability to make accurate predictions on the effectiveness of our behaviour; the brain networks that regulate the management of dangers in relation to states of uncertainty and self-image; the lesser-known physical mechanisms that significantly regulate stress responses; the energy metabolism of each cell, affected by nutrition and physical activity, which affects mood and vitality; and numerous other topics and application areas.
This book is a practical manual filled with clinical examples, more than 30 well-detailed techniques, various practical ideas and numerous application tips. It contains more than 80 colour images, including explanatory illustrations of concepts, application of practical techniques, summary diagrams of the main mechanisms analysed and photographs showing the changes that can be achieved through specific exercises.
