Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates to soul open.

about me
Hello!
My name is Ewa (pronounce it like Eva).
In June 2016, I decided to drop my perfectly planned life in Poland, risked everything, and came to London to study Chinese Medicine.
Thinking back, it was a very reckless idea yet somehow I don’t regret anything.
My adventure with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began a year earlier when desperately looking for a cure for my dad’s Multiple Sclerosis. In his worsening condition, Western Medicine wasn’t able to help much. While researching some alternative methods of coping with MS symptoms, we encountered an acupuncturist who managed to reduce some of them. It was
a huge breakout that improved the quality of my dad’s life. This experience made me curious about Traditional Chinese Medicine. Despite studying Biomedical Engineering at that time, I decided to go against Science and enrolled for a Basic Principles of TCM Course in Kraków, Poland.
While participating in that course, I fell in love with Chinese Medicine. I was especially impressed by its individual approach towards every patient.
Naturally, I wanted something more than just a single certificate.
I was suggested by a course provider to find a proper university degree in TCM abroad (as it is not possible to gain one in Poland).
As soon as I’ve learned about universities in the UK offering TCM courses,
I was on my way to London.
For the next 3 years, I’ve studied at London South Bank University which runs its TCM course in collaboration with the Confucius Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
As a part of the programme, I’ve spent over 400 hours working as a student practitioner in the teaching acupuncture clinic in Elephant & Castle. Most of my teachers and supervisors came from Heilongjiang University in North-East China as a part of student/teacher exchange.
And here I am now – graduated with a BSc (Hons) degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a full member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC).
Apart from my practice, you can also find me on the Cardiology wards of Hammersmith Hospital, where I work as a Healthcare Assistant.
