Davina Mercuri

Davina grew up with a Chinese mother and English father, and lived in parts of South East Asia in her early years. Her mother would often hand her small black pills to take if there were digestive ailments or cook her up a herbal soup to drink with any menstrual issues. These herbs and pills were just a part of her mothers medicine cabinet. In her late teen years Davina had first-hand experience of having acupuncture and herbal medicine to help with her own health issues, and this is when it sparked her own interest in natural medicine and the healing power of the body. After starting a degree in fine arts Davina switched over to study Chinese medicine and has never looked back.
