Meet the woman who brought holistic healing to the UAE

Dubai: Dr. Ludmilla Vassiliev, a former cardiologist, is pioneering holistic healing in the UAE, a field she actively helped establish and regulate over three decades ago. Vassiliev, who was recently featured at the Connect Generations event at the Toda Theatre in Madinat Jumeirah, sparked a discussion on holistic medicine during her talk.
Raised in a family of doctors, Vassiliev's fascination with the human body started early in her life. Growing up, she was sent to a physics school, but she was more interested in the body's energy flow. This led her to holistic practices, which have been practiced in the UAE for approximately 34 years. Vassiliev believes the future of medicine lies in maintaining energy, not just treating illnesses.
According to her, when energy flow is blocked in the body's meridians, it leads to pain, inflammation and various health issues such as diabetes, blood pressure problems, fatigue, depression and anaemia. She criticizes the tendency of people to treat these imbalances with peptides and supplements rather than addressing energy flow.
Vassiliev's primary focus now is on promoting a system of "universal health income," a concept she advocates for in her own Dubai clinic where staff are rewarded for maintaining their health. She emphasizes that health is a human responsibility and nobody teaches people how to care for it.
