Hidden Gems: Meet Aleksandra Dianova of Mulberry Leaf Integrative Health Center

Today we’d like to introduce you to Aleksandra Dianova.

Hello, Alexandra, I’m so glad you’re with us today. What can you tell us about your story?

Hello! I am a devoted practitioner in the field of integrative health. My journey began as a student at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (China), where I was gaining a degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Over three years, I visited many cities in China and fell in love with its culture, traditions, and philosophy. I am also grateful for the opportunity to learn from top doctors in major hospitals in Beijing, where Western and Eastern medicine specialists work together. Seeking to expand my knowledge and skills, I continued my education at Dongguk University in Los Angeles. Today, with over 11 years of experience, I feel joy and fulfillment every day, receiving gratitude from my patients.

Guided by my passion for learning and a genuine desire to help others, I am currently completing my doctoral studies, further deepening my knowledge and skills in this field.

In 2021, I took a significant step forward by expanding my clinic, incorporating additional services such as massage, skincare and infrared saunas. At Mulberry Leaf Integrative Health Center, my main goal is to provide an individualized approach to each person, taking into account their unique needs and goals. By combining the principles of traditional Chinese medicine with modern integrative practices, I strive to address the root causes of health issues and support the body’s innate ability to heal.

Mulberry Leaf Integrative Health Center has become a sanctuary for those seeking a balanced and harmonious approach to well-being. With extensive knowledge, ongoing education, and a diverse range of services, I aim to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients, guiding them towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Could you say it has been a smooth journey, and if not, what were the biggest challenges you faced along the way?

I started building my practice at the age of 24, and as a young female business owner, I faced numerous challenges including biases and gender-related barriers. Perhaps 2019 was the most challenging year. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic presented an entirely new set of challenges. Providing personal services during such a time required implementing strict safety protocols, adapting to constantly changing guidelines, and overcoming the financial strain caused by lockdowns and restrictions. However, thanks to resilience, innovation, and unwavering support from my loyal clients, I managed to endure these difficult times and survive the pandemic, emerging stronger and more determined than ever before.

I am still on this journey, and it requires daily persistence and determination to make my mark in the industry and provide exceptional services to my patients.

Thank you for sharing that. So, perhaps now you can tell us a bit more about your business?

At Mulberry Leaf Integrative Health Center, we strive to provide exceptional medical services in a serene spa-like environment, featuring cozy interiors, relaxing music, and soothing

aromatherapy. Our range of services includes acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy, cupping, therapeutic massages (such as Brazilian lymphatic drainage, prenatal, and sports massages), relaxing massages (such as herbal compress and hot stone massages), face-lifting massage, infrared sauna sessions, Guinot skincare treatments, and biomat therapy. While we offer comprehensive assistance for a wide range of conditions, our specialization lies in women’s health (menstrual pain and irregularities, fertility issues, prenatal care, and more) and musculoskeletal problems (sport injuries and athletic performance enhancement, traumatic injuries, chronic pain and neurological conditions).

Who else deserves praise in your story?

On my journey, there have been many people who taught, helped, and supported me. It’s hard to list them all, but I remember each of them with great gratitude. However, special thanks go to my parents, my husband and my little daughter. They support me with all my projects and make my life filled with love and joy that I get to share with my patients.
