The Viveka Story
Viveka is the brain child of Dr Yehudi Gordon. In 1996 he inspired a group of doctors, ultrasonographers and complementary therapists to practice together. We shared a vision about caring for people.
We renovated a 19th century building in St John's Wood - once a church school and library. The spaces were transformed into intimate treatment rooms and a hall for workshops and meetings.
Viveka is an exciting adventure and the doctors and therapists love working together. Our team is steadily growing to meet the demand for integrated healthcare.
Our enthusiasm and the energy inherent in being 'Viveka' - which means truth - inspire us all to continually review our ideas and refine our approach. Our commitment to providing healthcare tailored to every person's unique needs remains as strong as ever.
Yehudi Gordon is one of britain's leading obstetric and gynaecology consultants. He is well known as a pioneer of informed choice and integrated healthcare. Yehudi was one of the first obstetricians to encourage women to experience 'active birth' and he helped introduce waterbirth. In gynaecology Yehudi Gordon has pioneered the use of state of the art medical diagnosis and treatment with the support of complementary therapies.
The integrated healthcare practice at Viveka is an expression of Yehudi's unique blend of respect, loving support, and open-mindedness. It has now taken on an energy of its own that reflects the personalities and skills of everyone who practices here.
Viveka means ...
Viveka is a Sanskrit word describing the power that enables people to know what is real and what is not.
We've used Viveka for our name because knowing the truth supports us in our practice and you in your life.
Integrating medical diagnosis and treatment with complementary therapies is acknowledged by many as the way ahead for modern healthcare. Viveka is at the forefront of this evolution.
