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 help you become whole again.
​
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: Earth element’s time begins when there is that harvest feeling in the air and berries start ripening on my gooseberry bushes in the garden. I can only describe it as a sense of fulfilment in the nature, the fields become heavy with the harvest, birds are busy feeding their young and helping them out of the nest to explore the great big world.
​
Within us, Earth is family and friends. It is the fabric of life that we create and nurture with integrity. During this time of year, we should focus on the digestive system, nourishment, and stability.
Cold raw food creates dampness in the spleen, which interferes with its role of the transportation and transformation of nutrients and energy, and its ability to produce qi and blood. Even if you have a salad for a meal, you can always supplement it by a warm drink or a cup of soup.
As summer draws to a close, it’s time to phase out your consumption of cold raw foods, including smoothies, ice water, and salads. Dairy, refined sugars, and fatty and greasy foods also contribute to dampness. Do include warm, cooked meals. Aromatic spices like ginger, fennel, coriander, caraway, and cardamom help to warm things up, resolves dampness, and strengthen the spleen Qi.
"When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
you touch everything."
- Lao Tzu
