My story – How I found my calling in osteopathy

After graduating from the French Language Highschool in Sofia, I continued my studies in the UK and in 2018 received a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Coventry University. At this point my interest in osteopathy was already awakened – I had a clear vision that was the professional path I needed to pursue.

In the same year, I began my master’s studies at the European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone, England – one of the most prestigious osteopathy schools on the continent. I graduated after four years of intensive training and practice. It was in the last year that I discovered my strongest passion for working with children and babies, which is why I specialized in techniques for treating the youngest.

Qualification—Certified and trained to the highest standards

I completed a Master's degree (Level 7) at the European School of Osteopathy in England — a program recognized by Buckinghamshire New University and the Ministry of Education and Science of Bulgaria. The training consists of 3000 academic hours, including 1200 hours of supervised clinical practice in a real clinic. During these two years of work with patients, I mastered not only a variety of therapeutic techniques, but also my critical approach to diagnosis and treatment, essential in providing personalized care for each patient.

Specializations and trainings

During my studies, I took courses in the treatment of sports injuries and worked with patients suffering from chronic headaches. The practice in craniosacral osteopathy and functional therapy gave me the opportunity to work delicately with patients of all ages.

Osteopathy Safety and Regulation - Your Health in Safe Hands

Unfortunately, in Bulgaria the osteopathic profession is not yet regulated, which means there are no mandatory standards for completed training and certification. However, I am one of the few fully certified osteopaths in the country, having obtained a postgraduate degree following a comprehensive four-year programme.

By comparison, osteopaths in England are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), an official body that requires a minimum of 4-5 years of training and 1000 hours of clinical practice for a professional to legally work. Practitioners there must complete at least 32 hours of additional continuing professional development (CPD) training annually.

Why is this relevant? Because for me, maintaining high professional standards is not just a requirement but a fundamental commitment to patients. It ensures that every person who trusts me receives safe, quality and effective care - with care and responsibility for their health.

Why I returned to Bulgaria — My vision for the future of osteopathy

After completing my studies, I chose to return to Bulgaria with a mission: to introduce more people to the transformative power of osteopathy. I believe in its immense potential to improve lives, even though it remains relatively unknown in our country. My goal is not only to provide effective care but also to educate and inspire others to embrace this holistic approach to health. Together, we can build a future where osteopathy plays a central role in well-being.
