A path through my own pain

From the age of 19 I lived with a bad back — I know first-hand what it means to search for answers for years. I tried almost everything, from conventional medicine to alternative practices.

But over time I realised: the body knows itself better than any doctor or pill — if you learn to listen to it and understand it.

I began my training through touch. Gradually, I restored my connection with my own body. When I added anatomy and muscle testing, the pieces fell into place. Step by step, my condition improved dramatically.

The positive feedback from people who trusted me early on motivated me to keep sharing my experience, knowledge and hands. That's what I keep doing today — with the same energy as at the start.

Three principles behind the work

  1. 01

    Root cause, not symptom

    Without understanding what, when and why I'm doing something, the work stays at the level of symptoms. So I rely on anatomy, muscle testing and the Anatomy Trains concept — so the results last.

  2. 02

    Evidence-based, not dogmatic

    I follow an evidence-based approach. But the body remains a mystery in many ways — and there is room for methods that work well in practice.

  3. 03

    Respect for boundaries

    I don't dig into other people's trauma or esoterics. My job is to create a safe space and help the body start its own internal processes.

What clients are saying

Vadim 12 years of struggling with skin on my back and face. Everything unexpectedly cleared up after the exercises and sessions. Surprising that the problem was linked to non-functioning neck and deltoid muscles.
Vladislav Lavrentev Never had posture like this before. Continuing the home exercises — tracking the progress.
Victoria Podleskikh Today many people noticed how relaxed I was — said they hadn't seen me like this in a long time. ❤️
