Dr. Mahsa Sanei: Bridging Western and Holistic Medicine

Dr. Mahsa Sanei is a pioneering integrative medicine specialist who bridges the gap between Western medical science and holistic, energy-based healing. With a foundation in traditional medicine and years of experience in hospital care, she witnessed firsthand how conventional treatments sometimes fell short. Driven to understand the human body more deeply, she studied traditional Chinese medicine and developed a unique approach that combines the best of both worlds.

Her practice focuses on restoring balance and vitality through personalized therapies—including frequency-based diagnostics, lifestyle guidance, nutrition, and natural remedies—empowering patients to reconnect with their authentic selves, regain resilience, and live fully aligned lives.

“When one healing system reaches its limit, another begins.”

What inspired you to bridge traditional Western medicine with holistic and energy-based healing?

During my university studies and residency, I saw many patients in the hospital who were constantly medicated, yet saw little improvement. For example, when patients developed mild or moderate hypertension, they were simply given more drugs—sometimes with diminishing returns. This approach eventually made no sense to me.

In 2006, I began studying traditional Chinese medicine to gain a broader understanding of the human body, its physiology, and different therapeutic approaches. Coming from a background in Western medicine, I developed a concept of bridging both systems. The idea is simple: where one healing method reaches its limit, the other can begin. When applied with knowledge and discernment, these approaches complement each other beautifully.

How would you explain integrative medicine to someone hearing the term for the first time?

Integrative medicine means combining the best aspects of multiple therapeutic approaches to develop a personalized method for healing. My first approach is always natural—herbal remedies whenever possible. Only when this isn’t sufficient do I incorporate synthetic drugs, which is rare.

Sometimes, the process is reversed. For example, some patients come to reduce synthetic medications for conditions like hypertension or hormone replacement therapy. In these cases, I substitute natural remedies to support the body while minimizing pharmaceutical interventions.

You work with medical diagnostics and frequency-based therapy. How do these two approaches support each other in your practice?

Currently, I primarily work with frequency-based diagnostics and therapy. The only conventional diagnostic tools I still use are laboratory tests and the dermatoscope. Frequency-based diagnostics allow me to understand the body energetically, while targeted therapy helps restore balance.

Many people struggle with chronic stress or emotional overload. How do you approach psychosomatic symptoms in your patients?

I start by observing the patient’s overall presence—their facial expressions, pulse, skin tone, speech, and gestures—to understand their state. Often, patients come believing they have an organic issue, but through careful questioning and observation, we uncover the underlying emotional or psychosomatic root. This process can take time—weeks or even months—but eventually, we get to the core of the problem.

“Vitality comes from balance—when the body remembers how to heal itself.”

The philosophy says healing is reconnecting with one’s authentic self. What does that look like in everyday life?

Reconnecting with your authentic self means being centered and living according to your values. Every day presents challenges that test us. In these moments, we have a choice: act truthfully according to our inner self or act in ways that disconnect us from it. When we are honest with ourselves and prioritize our own needs, we remain connected and aligned; when we lie to ourselves, we drift apart from our true self.

Can you explain Vitalfield or global diagnostics in simple terms for those unfamiliar with frequency-based approaches?

Vitalfield is a medical device that uses electromagnetic waves and frequencies to scan the body in about eight minutes. It identifies energetic deficits across various systems—cardiovascular, nervous, pulmonary, immune, and endocrine—as well as at the cellular level, including radicals and glutathione systems.

The device can equalize energy imbalances, support detoxification from substances like metals, pesticides, and microplastics, and stimulate regeneration. By replenishing the body with the energy it needs, we help it heal itself and resolve underlying inflammation.

How does lifestyle medicine help prevent illness before it begins?

Lifestyle medicine starts with daily routines. Morning practices like yoga, meditation, and a balanced breakfast set the tone. Staying hydrated, eating when hungry, and taking breaks for fresh air help maintain balance during the day. Evening routines, including exercise and quality family time, support overall health. Life should balance discipline with enjoyment—occasional indulgences like a late night out, a glass of wine, or a sweet treat are part of the picture too.

What are some signs people often ignore that indicate their body is out of balance?

Common signs include recurring or persistent symptoms, changes in skin tone, breath, eye color, digestion, energy levels, memory or concentration issues, irritability, and a weakened immune system. These signals often indicate that the body is compensating and struggling to maintain balance.

How do you help patients shift from merely surviving to feeling vital, resilient, and aligned?

My approach is holistic, addressing the patient in every aspect. Using my methodology, I can identify the “color” of an issue and reveal its root. Many patients arrive exhausted and depleted; through Vitalfield therapy, coaching, and counseling, we restore energy, resilience, and vitality, helping them stay aligned and fully engage with life.

Nutrition is a big part of your work. What does energy and land mean to you?

Nutrition is not only about what we eat but also understanding our constitution and lifestyle. It’s important to consider where someone is from ethnically and culturally, their work rhythm, and personal constitution. Often, people only have their main meal in the afternoon, which is unhealthy. By aligning nutrition with energy needs, lifestyle, and individual rhythm, we can support better overall health.
