Hi, I am Elda.
Thank you for taking the time to have a look at my website and to read about who I am and how I could be of service to you.
Everything that happens to us brings us to who we are now and shapes our destiny and our choices.
For me, it was the anxiety which became very intense when I was a teenager.
Luckily, my grandmother was a nurse and a healer and she would put her hands on certain points on my body and after a while I could feel a sense of peacefulness settling in my chest. I learned from her what healing meant and how it felt like.
At 15 I knew in my heart what my purpose was, I knew I wanted to take care of people, to make them feel better, just like my grandmother.
As I wanted to make my parents proud and also because I loved writing (hoped to become a famous writer one day), I had to first take the "sensible" path: did my degree in English Literature, then a Master in Script-writing at the London Film School.
It was time for me to go back to what I had left as a dormant seed at the age of 15. I wanted to have the knowledge, I wanted to know the intricacies of the human body and what a better start than to do BTEC Level 5 in Remedial Massage at The London College of Sports Massage.
My thirst for knowledge was unstoppable: after that I completed a course in Lymphatic Drainage, Pregnancy Massage, Indian Head Massage, Advanced Facial Techniques.
So when I embarked on a 3.5 years degree in Acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading, I was ready for the big step, to dedicate my life to study the vastness and the beauty of Chinese Medicine!
In my free time I take my beagle, Eddie, for walks into the Woods, go swimming, take Body Combat and Konga classes at the Dorking Sports Leisure Centre and write stories for children.
