London's best alternative therapy experts

Which holistic doctor does Kate Moss favour? And which healer does Madonna turn to? London now has more complementary therapists than GPs. We name the best.

The new holistic gurus: Alla Svirinskaya
Extraordinary, gifted and beautiful, too, Alla comes from five generations of Russian healers, acts as consultant on holistic treatments to all the top spas and is highly regarded by everyone from medical consultants to sports stars. Her private practice is bulging with the A-list; you can find her at The Life Centre on Wednesdays.
