Her approach is holistic and she treats the body as a whole by focusing on the root of the illness beyond the symptoms. She uses various treatment methods including acupuncture, herbal supplementation, dietary suggestions, cupping, lifestyle counselling and also networking with the Western medicine community when necessary. She recently began focusing and specializing in family practice, treating the whole family and addressing issues related to any ages. Dilyana is dedicated to working with her patients to help them develop lifestyle, diet and mind-body practices that will optimize their health to the fullest potential. Background: Dilyana was born and raised in Varna, Bulgaria, and experienced successful treatment with alternative medicine at a very young age when she herself was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease. Although there was no cure or effective treatment through western medicine, shortly after incorporating alternative medical treatment and lifestyle changes prescribed by her practitioner, Dilyana's symptoms were completely alleviated. To this day, her own experience greatly impacts her desire to help others achieve success in their own health. Aside from her practice, Dilyana has spent countless hours working with orphanages, seniors, new immigrants, and people with various disabilities - both through private organizations and the Red Cross.
