Understanding the Roots:
My Journey in TCM and Holistic Care
It is lovely to connect with you! I’m Ivanna, and my journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is deeply rooted in a lifelong fascination with the innate power of the body to heal itself—both physically and emotionally.
Life often presents us with challenges that feel insurmountable. We have all walked through seasons that felt too difficult to overcome, yet somehow, with the right support, we find our way back to balance. I believe that our emotional landscape plays a major factor in our unique healing journeys. I have spent the best part of 35 years exploring the depths of my own healing and growth, an exploration that allows me to meet my clients with true empathy and insight on their own paths.
A Journey Rooted in Compassion
Experiencing a major loss at a young age significantly influenced my desire to help others heal from trauma and loss. Then facing health challenges later in life further fueled my desire to seek alternative methods with a more natural approach. This is where I discovered the power of TCM.
I have always been fascinated by the human mind and the relationship between our internal world and how we cope with everyday life. This curiosity eventually led me to the profound wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
To provide the highest standard of care, I completed my professional training at the Acupuncture Foundation in the Irish Institute of Chinese Medicine in Marino, Dublin. There, I had the privilege of studying under the highly respected Dr. Meng Fanyi, Dr. Therese Parsons, and Dr. Bernadette Ward, whose guidance helped shape my holistic approach to health.
