Being aware of the devastating statistics and increase in the number of chronic illnesses, degenerative diseases and cancer in the recent years, she has intensively specialised in the mentioned field - finding the best therapies outside the boundaries of western medicine, acquiring education in principles of holistic treatment, which encourages the one’s own organism in fighting illnesses. She completed many professional courses, among others the course in the United Kingdom on the basics of holistic and integrative health, and in Germany on therapeutic and practical training for ozone treatment. Her goal was very simple and clear - to offer patients a place where they will be able to acquire quality medical information and complementary information on the possibilities of holistic treatment, adjusted to their individual needs and without harmful adverse effects. Integrated with all the advantages of western medicine - improving the medical condition of the organism and in that way improving the chances for the patients to help heal themselves and lead a quality life.
