my practice is rooted in Swedish massage and western bodywork techniques, alongside Thai massage and kobido facial massage.
I hold professional certifications in working with PTSD using an integrative approach (IITS, Ukraine, 2024) and in psychosomatics. my training includes work with Bessel van der Kolk (psychiatrist, professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine and author of "The Body Keeps the Score"), whose research focuses on how trauma is held in the body.
in 2025 I completed a trauma-informed massage certification in Toronto, deepening my focus on safety, boundaries and nervous system regulation.
