About Dimitris:Dimitris Vaziourakis is a massage therapist, an acupuncturist, and a Tuina practitioner. He is the owner of Qi Clinic, a Chinese Medicine practice devoted to improving people’s health in a natural and sustainable way.
After going through many seasons of runny noses, panting, tearing, and isolation himself, he came across acupuncture and herbal medicine, which totally transformed his life. After
receiving his symptoms were tremendously relieved and he has since been free of a great
amount of suffering during springtime. That is how the fascination with Chinese medicine
started.After getting the opportunity to work as a massage therapist in a Chinese medicine clinic and seeing the amount of good that this medicine can do for other people, he was inspired to pursue a life path in Chinese Medicine. Ever since, his mission is to promote an integrative, personalized, and prevention-based approach for our healthcare system, and inform people about Chinese Medicine as a path to wellbeing.
