About Kasia

Kasia's exploration into healing began in the late 1980s.
At that time she was living with her parents in Poland.

As the physics teachers they worked closely with well know scientists, healers and traditional doctors who were investigating the power the human body had to self heal.

Greatly inspired by her parents work, Kasia decided to deepen her own studies into bodywork and food as medicine .

In the early 90s she went to the 'International Macrobiotic Institute' where she studied with world renowned macrobiotic teachers and counsellors such as Michio Kushi, Denny Waxman, Bill Tara and Jon Sandifer.

Here she learned the art of being able to read the human body, how to prepare healing foods, compresses and plasters, how to prepare natural medicinal teas and drinks. Kasia also mastered the technique of applying acupressure massage to help stimulate the flow of blood and energy throughout the body.

Since becoming a qualified counsellor she has given countless consultations and also accepted many invitations to give lectures in Poland, Belgium, England and Spain.

Always eager to learn more, Kasia's interest in bodywork led her to complete a 3 year course in Shiatsu Training at the' British School of Shiatsu Do'. She then went on to take a number of postgraduate courses in Pregnancy Shiatsu with Suzanne Yates, Barefoot Shiatsu with Shuizuko Yamamoto, Hara Shiatsu with Ohashi and Shintai with Saul Goodman.

Fascinated by oriental bodywork and the power of stretching and deep breathing, she went to northern Thailand to study traditional 'Thai Yoga Massage' and then to southern India to train in the ashrams and become a 'Yoga' teacher.

With her endless passion for bodywork and her natural desire to help heal others ... her work has led her from popular London yoga studios and massage clinics, to the world of entertainment and helping a whole host of celebrities including Matt Damon, Sting and John Cusack.

Together with her much loved husband Jamie, they have developed a unique 'Macrobiotic Yoga' health program which they have been teaching in 'Spas and Retreat Centres' across Europe.

Kasia is also a teacher of 'Seated Acupressure' and 'Thai Massage' and gives classes in Eastern Europe and Asia.
