the whole Universe surrenders"
Welcome to my website. My name is Ana Maria Lavin, and I practice Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine at the Kailash Centre of Oriental Medicine in St. John's Wood, North London. For over 22 years I have been combining traditional Chinese Medicine with Massage, Nutritional advice and Reiki to give caring, supportive and effective treatment integrating the whole person through a system of Traditional Chinese Diagnosis and the use of acupuncture, cupping and herbal medicine.
I have in this 22 years worked extensively with fertility, infertility and lately, with acupuncture and IVF. I am a member of the Acupuncture Fertility Network and Federation of Antinatal Education
Acupuncture is a centuries-old system of medicine that aims to treat the individual in a holistic way, integrating the body, mind and spirit in its approach. By enhancing natural healing abilities it can improve many conditions. Many people come to acupuncture with specific symptom or to relieve specific pains like osteoarthritis of the knee, nausea or dental pain.
Some use acupuncture because they feel unwell, tired,lethargic, but have no medical diagnosis. Others choose acupuncture to enhance wellbeing and stamina.
Pregnancy rates double with Chinese medicine. Read whole article here Pregnancy rates increase
Elena came to me on her 34th week of pregnancy with severe pain in her back and hip that did not allow her to walk straight.
After two sessions of acupuncture she was walking straight and the pain have subsided completely. We continued with the treatment to improve flow of Qi and relaxation until the delivery of a beautiful baby girl.

"Initially I went for specific issues but as the years have gone on I like to think I approach Chinese Medicine as a prevention rather than a cure, although if I've not seen Ana Maria for a few weeks it's uncanny how my body gives me signs to go pay her a visit!"Ruth Katz, Management Consultant
