ABOUT
I am Ieva Malcevičiūtė - a licensed TCM Acupuncturist, Herbalist and lecturer.
My journey into Chinese medicine began through personal experience, as I started listening more closely to the signals of my own body. Over time, it became clear that simply adapting to a fast-paced, stressful lifestyle is often not enough to maintain true health. This understanding led me to seek a deeper, more holistic approach to wellbeing.
.
Chinese medicine fundamentally changed how I view health. It is based on the understanding that body and mind function as one interconnected system, constantly influenced by lifestyle, nutrition, emotions, and environment. What I value most in this medicine is its focus on the individual rather than the diagnosis. Each treatment is tailored to the person as a whole, which is why Chinese medicine is often described as holistic.
In 2012, I moved to London to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at the University of Westminster, where I completed my Bachelor of Science with a specialisation in Acupuncture.
During my studies and beyond, I developed a strong belief in integrative medicine as the future of healthcare. This was reinforced through clinical practice in a university's clinic and within the National Health Service (NHS) pain clinic.
After graduation, I further deepened my knowledge through clinical training in Hangzhou (China) and later in Singapore, gaining experience in healthcare systems where Chinese and Western medicine coexist.
In 2023, I got a postgraduate diploma in Chinese herbal medicine (UK).
In 2023-2024, I was a lecturer in the acupuncture training programme at the University of Klaipeda. I continue to develop my expertise through international seminars, courses and professional networks.
Holístico was created to help people better understand their bodies, recognise their signals, and discover how personalised, simple tools can lead to meaningful and sustainable results in wellbeing.
Sincerely,
Ieva
