About Marilia

I am passionate about my work and particularly I love studying all aspects of healing in all levels, physical, emotional and spiritual.

Since young age I have been interested in studying science but also ancient philosophies and spirituality. I was born in Brazil and I graduated at Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP S. Carlos) in Brazil as Bachelor and Master in Chemistry (Physical Chemistry).

By 1985 my search of spiritual values and understanding of life and self-knowledge had taken a major role in my life. This search led me to my first contact with Acupuncture and other aspects of the Chinese tradition. The findings brought about an important transformation in my life and I left behind a career in Chemistry and an ongoing PhD to dedicate myself to the study and practice of Acupuncture.

I started an in-depth study and qualified as Acupuncturist at the Associaçao Brasileira de Acupuntura (ABA) - Brazilian Acupuncture Society - and in 1991 I initiated my career practicing Acupuncture and Acupressure, a devoted and successful work that is still developing as I learn other therapies like Reflexology, Reiki and Kinesiology.

In 1993, continuing my search for knowledge of the complexity of our souls with the study of ancient traditions and theosophy, I entered an initiation school, Sociedade Brasileira de Eubiose (SBE), where I have got in contact with very important and transformative knowledge and understanding of Life.

But my life was about to go through another change. I decided to follow my heart and get married and, in 2001, I moved to live in Cheshire, England, the place where I am carrying on with my life journey.

I would be naive thinking that my search of spiritual and self-knowledge had come to an end yet, I really do not think that it is possible to reach this intent in one life only. But I am sure that I can offer my knowledge, work and dedicated practice to serve those who are trying to answer that ancient call... "Know thyself".

My work

The main purpose of my work is to help people to live a healthier life, free from stress symptoms and pain and with this objective in mind I am always in search of the best products and technology to support the well-being of my clients and my family.

I am always studying and whenever I can I like to share some of the information I have gathered over the years and I believe that when people understand how they can help themselves to live a healthier life they can only speed up the process of recovery from illnesses.

I am a registered member of The Acupuncture Society, bound by a strict Code of Ethics, Rules and Regulations and a Code of professional Conduct, and I am also a member of the professional practitioners' network Cosmetic Acupuncture UK, and of the Association of Community and Multibed Acupuncture Clinics, and of the North West Institute of Holistic Medicine.

Recently, during one of my searches for products to add to my practice and to support my work I found the magnets and water filter/purifier from a company called Nikken and I was really well impressed by their quality and effective results, so I decided to become an Independent Nikken Consultant, so I can help people to get to know these amazing products. Please phone me on 01260 289783 for more information but you can also visit my Nikken page.

This website

My intention with this website is not only to raise awareness about Acupuncture and other complementary therapies but also to inform you about developments in my clinic and to bring tips and contributions to your health and well-being through articles that I intend to upload regularly, so please, check the articles and news page from time to time.

I hope you enjoy this website. Thank you for your visit!
