💫 Meet Elda – My Journey Into Healing
Hi, I’m Elda.
Thank you for visiting my website and taking the time to read about who I am — and how I might be of service to you.
Everything that happens to us shapes who we are today — our choices, our path, our purpose.
For me, it all began with anxiety that became intense during my teenage years.
Thankfully, my grandmother — a nurse and a healer — would place her hands gently on certain points of my body. Within minutes, I’d feel a deep peacefulness settling in my chest. That’s when I first understood what healing felt like.
At 15, I knew.
I wanted to do what she did.
To help people feel better. To care.
To heal.
But first, I took what seemed like the “sensible” path — I wanted to make my parents proud and I loved writing. I studied English Literature, followed by a Master's in Scriptwriting at the London Film School, dreaming of one day becoming a writer.
Eventually, the seed planted at 15 began to grow again.
I trained in Remedial Massage (BTEC Level 5 at the London College of Sports Massage), eager to understand the body on a deeper level. That journey led to further training in:
- Lymphatic Drainage
- Pregnancy Massage
- Indian Head Massage
- Advanced Facial Techniques
And finally — with great joy — I committed myself to a 3.5-year degree in Acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading. It felt like coming home — to a medicine that treats the root, not just the symptom, and that honours the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
In 2021, during the pandemic, my husband and I made a life-changing decision.
We left busy Richmond behind and moved to Dorking — drawn by the peace, the quiet, and the healing power of being surrounded by the beauty of the Surrey Hills.
It was a time of great distress for many people, and I knew I wanted to help in the way I knew best — through hands-on care, listening, and acupuncture.
I had always dreamed of having my own clinic.
And here, in Dorking, that dream came true.
When I’m not in clinic, you’ll find me:
🐶 Walking my beagle, Eddie, through the Nower and Surrey Hills.
🏊♀️ Swimming or at a Body Combat or Konga class at the Dorking Sports Leisure Centre
📖 Writing stories for children
Healing is my calling — and it would be my honour to support you on your journey.
