Joanna is one of the more gentle osteopaths on our team at Ashgrove. She works with both adults and babies.
Joanna was born and raised in Poland, where she developed a lifelong interest in medicine and supporting others. In 2010, she completed a degree in Dental Engineering and began working as a dental technician.
In 2011, she moved to London after receiving an offer to work in a dental laboratory. It was in London that she first encountered osteopathy — an experience that instantly resonated with her. Osteopathy became the missing piece in her pursuit of optimal health and a holistic understanding of the body. After spending several years preparing for this new direction, she began her training and graduated with a BOst (Hons) from the London School of Osteopathy.
During her studies, Joanna developed a strong interest in the more gentle techniques - visceral osteopathy, cranio-sacral approaches, and functional techniques. This passion naturally led her to work weekly with infants, children and their families. She continues to expand her knowledge through postgraduate paediatric osteopathy courses.
Joanna treats people of all ages with equal passion and joy, from newborns and parents, to their grandparents. Her techniques are gentle and soothing when the body requires a subtle approach. She uses the clicking techniques when necessary.
Committed to continuous learning and the highest standards of care, Joanna is known for her perfectionism. She often jokes that life may be too short to learn everything she hopes to master.
Alongside science-based medicine, Joanna is also interested in Chinese medicine, homeopathy, and herbal therapy, appreciating complementary traditions that enrich her holistic approach to health.
