Hi, I'm Oana and I am the founder and owner of Sacred Dao Acupuncture Clinic.

​

One of the things I love most about Chinese medicine is its comprehensive approach which focuses on you as an individual, taking into account your constitution, your needs and the context of your life, rather than applying one-size-fits-all treatments.

​

​I achieved my degree in Chinese medicine with first-class honours from the University of Westminster in London. My training focused on acupuncture, Tui na (Chinese massage therapy), cupping, moxibustion, gua sha and Chinese medicine diet and lifestyle advice. I additionally qualified as a Tui Na therapist at The City College of Acupuncture London  to further develop my palpation skills and deepen my anatomical and functional understanding of the body as it is experienced in clinical practice.​

​

I have a proven record of assessing, diagnosing and developing treatment strategies and plans that combine the practices mentioned above, for patients presenting with a  wide range of health concerns. I am specialised in evaluating patients from a Chinese medicine perspective, as well as assessing the features of diseases from a Western medicine perspective and make the necessary referrals when needed. ​

​

As part of my holistic practice approach, I also offer individualised lifestyle advice (diet, exercise, stress management, sleep habits etc.) to complement treatment effectiveness and improve overall health.​

​

Alongside my practice of Chinese medicine, I completed the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, and have also trained with teachers such as Sharon Salzberg (Insight Meditation), Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems) and Gabor Mate (Compassionate Inquiry), to name a few.​

​

I began meditating about 14 years ago during a particularly difficult period in my life, following the loss of my mother. Over the years, mindfulness became a steady source of support for my mental, emotional and physical well-being. I initially shared these practices with my acupuncture patients and as I witnessed the positive impact they had, I felt called to teach more widely. This experience eventually led me to pursue formal training and become a certified mindfulness teacher.​

​

I regularly take part in courses and events to keep learning and developing professionally. This helps me stay up to date with the latest research, treatment approaches, and mindfulness practices, so I can continue growing as a Chinese medicine practitioner and mindfulness teacher, and offer the best care I can to the people I work with.

Treatments and sessions are available in English, Spanish, Romanian, Portuguese, French and German.
