I am excited to share that I have relocated my practice to a new clinic in Dalston Junction. While this new location will be too far for many of my existing clients, I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your trust, your time and the many meaningful connections we have shared over the years.
To all my current and past clients, it has been a privilege to support you. I am deeply grateful for every session and every moment of your wellbeing journey.
As I begin this new chapter in Dalston, I carry that gratitude with me and look forward to welcoming new clients into a calm and supportive space.
Holistic Practice Philosophy
Chinese Medicine adopts a holistic approach to the patient. To treat you effectively, your acupuncturist will first take your personal case history, to understand more about your personality, character, habits and way of life before creating a unique tailored treatment plan to address the issues preventing your body's natural healing ability.
Daria undertook a four-year course in Chinese Medicine at the world-famous College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, UK.
She strives to ensure that Aculives holistic acupuncture clinic tailors bespoke treatments to help you.
Seasonal tip: In Chinese Medicine Autumn is said to be a domain of the Metal element governed by our corporeal soul Po and Lung and Large Intestines organs. This fascinating element is known for being reflective and observant, it replenishes our reserves by taking in the wonders of nature around us and storing it all for the leaner to the eye winter months. It is the time for just being in our bodies, taking in the world around us and reflecting on the messages it sends us.
Metal element is responsible for letting go of the things, thoughts and ideas that we no longer want or need and it is a great time to declutter all of the above. I personally find the trips to the skip very cathartic! Starting a diary could help with letting go of thoughts, emotions and worries cluttering our mind.
"When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
you touch everything."
- Lao Tzu
