Meet Monica - Your Health & Wellbeing Therapist
I initially qualified as a homoeopath and wanted to continue my learning of how treating the body as a whole can make a real difference to health.
I take the health of my clients extremely seriously, which is why I have up-to-date professional accreditations to support everything I do. I’m a member of the British Acupuncture Council, which ensures that its members have appropriate training and follow a strict code of ethics. I’m also accredited to The Complementary Therapists Association.
I offer services from my private practice in Finchley, as well as from various locations in North London, and have the pleasure of working with clients of all ages and from all walks of life.
Highly Qualified Practioner
with more than 20 years of experience
I take the health of my clients extremely seriously, which is why I have up-to-date professional accreditations to support everything I do.
So in 2002 I studied Chinese Medicine and graduated as a qualified Acupuncturist from the London College of Traditional Acupuncture. That same year I achieved a diploma in Anatomy, Physiology, and Body Massage from ITEC.
Over the course of the following few years I continued to expand my knowledge and skills, and I achieved the following professional qualifications to support my practice:
- Tui Na (Chinese massage)
- Medical Qi Gong
- Diploma in Lymphatic Drainage Massage from ITEC
- Post-graduate Diploma in Nutrition
- Professional Diploma in Sports & Remedial Message Therapy from the Sports Massage Association
- Qualified Myofascial Release therapist
In my spare time, I volunteer with St. John’s Ambulance as a qualified first aider.

My Philosophy – What Drives Me to Help You
Your health and wellness are everything!
I look at maintaining and achieving mind and body balance through natural treatments, using Acupuncture, and massage, using foods as medicine, looking at your daily activity and exercise regime as part of your lifestyle.
My aim is to support, improve, educate, and incorporate ongoing health and well-being in my patients covering all aspects of their life. Health is balance. Detecting the imbalances in their daily life and highlighting them is the beginning of the journey toward health and well-being. Diet, exercise, their mental health to name a few areas are looked at and addressed.
I, therefore, use my experience and toolbox of various treatments to choose and apply what is needed.

Skin Education by dermaviduals uk2023-04-05Monica has treated me for neck pain and a frozen shoulder with acupuncture I am so happy to be pain free and not relying on pain killers. Thank you
Jennifer Fisher2023-04-03Monica is brilliant. She has treated me over the past 15 years for various issues from back pain, foot pain and illness. No matter what I present with, she treats my overall health and usually finds the root of the problem is not what I think it is. With her deep knowledge, she offers excellent advice to boost my health and mindset. I have sent my husband and children to her as well and it’s been very positive.
Shelley de Jong2023-03-09I went to see Monica with neck and back pain that kept returning no matter what I tried. After a few months I feel a massive improvement and it is no longer returning to how it used to be ! I believe it’s in part down to Monica’s unique combination of acupuncture and massage, but also due to her expert knowledge around what she does, her healing hands, and the kindness and wisdom she brings to all the above. Forever grateful :)
Katarina Rummelova2023-03-06I highly recommend Monica. She has really opened my eyes to holistic treatments. After a course of acupuncture by her I've seen big improvements in my cysts. Most of them have disappeared, the rest have considerably shrank in size. Since then I've used her as a go to practitioner for many other ailments.
Geetha Katuwawala2023-03-05Monica treated my swollen knee with Acupuncture last week. I know I am on the way to recovery. She is gentle, knowledgeable and informative about the treatment.
Ellie Zhekova2023-02-21Monica is absolutely amazing and the studio is bright and welcoming. After only 2 sessions of accupuncture, I feel my body has woken up and the stiffness in my neck and shoulders have been relieved. Highly recommend
Emma Foulger2020-01-07Highly recommend Monica Daswani from Holistic Health and Healing for acupuncture. I’ve been seeing Monica for a couple of years now for various ailments including “women’s health” with excellent success. Monica is not one of those practitioners who “over service” which is appreciated. She gives good sensible advice that is easy to follow. Lovely, professional, empathetic, experienced, honest lady who clearly knows her “stuff”. Her clinic is lovely in a separate private studio off a residential house. Easily found in North London
Alison H2020-01-06I first saw Monica in 2006. At that time, I was pending the outcome of a diagnosis. Her therapeutic support and interventions were and are what I hold largely responsible for my positive prognosis. I feel the same at present in 2020.
Leanne Barratt2019-11-17The clinic is modern in a relaxed and spotless environment .Monica has a calming and caring manner and the lady knows her stuff!! I have attended Monica's clinic for the past 5 years when my neck and shoulder pains flare up . Within 2 sessions of Tuina massage and acupuncture the pains have gone and i can stop taking pain killers and resume life. .To be able to remove physical pain and discomfort is an amazing and skilled ability. Thanks Monica.
Ashley Gambrill2019-08-29My family have been visiting Monica for over 10 years now for acupuncture and massage which has greatly helped our health and wellbeing. Monica is a very kind and friendly person who is also very skilled in her treatments. Her therapy room is also very modern and comfortable.
