About Ralitsa Dimitrova

My Background

My foundation lies in nursing, providing an understanding of conventional medicine. Over time, I delved deeper into Eastern practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, bodywork, and mindfulness techniques such as yoga and meditation. This exploration ignited a passion for creating holistic wellness plans that address the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health.

My formal education in Eastern medicine began at the prestigious International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM) in East Grinstead, UK, where I earned a Bachelor Degree in Acupuncture from University of Greenwich. I further deepened my understanding through practical experience in China, at Sichuan Tianxiang Orthopaedic Hospital and the Sports University of Chengdu. I honed my skills in Chinese herbal medicine at the esteemed White Crane Academy.

The pursuit of knowledge extended far beyond the classroom walls. I pursued additional programs specialising in women's health, fertility, facial acupuncture, pregnancy, menopause, musculoskeletal concerns, acupuncture approach to degenerative eye conditions and scalp acupuncture for neurological conditions.

My practice is guided by a deep respect for both evidence-based medicine and the wisdom of Traditional Eastern Medicine. I believe in treating each person holistically, addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This means being honest and transparent about the potential benefits and limitations of my treatments, and avoiding sensational claims or cultural appropriation. I’m also dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. My mission is to empower individuals to take charge of their health and find lasting balance in their lives.

Beyond The Treatment Room

I find solace and inspiration in nature, travel, tennis, knitting, reading, Eastern philosophies, and the ever-evolving world of digital media. These diverse interests fuel my creativity and keep me grounded in the present moment.
