About Me

- behind every success and achievement there is a story few know -

My name is Oksana Kotomova, in the office - Oksana Mykolaivna, and over time, simply Oksana, because we are already close with you, since you have entrusted me with what is most precious - your feelings and sensations, and I touch your body. Looking back, I am grateful to life that it chose me and patiently waited until I returned to my path again.

As a teenager, I had no thought that I would treat people, all my dreams were in sports, until I entered the Dnipro Institute of Physical Education. There I studied together with Svitlana Tryfonova, my classmate, Paralympic champion, who introduced me to the world of people with special needs. And then, in my 18-year-old heart, a dream appeared - to open a rehabilitation center for such people. At that time I had no idea how to rehabilitate them.

I started working as a massage therapist in a private clinic and later was entrusted with working with children, very young children, but with big problems. My first little patient was a girl named Zlata, who was about 6 months old, she had already been given a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Birth trauma, torticollis, reduced muscle tone, no support on legs, regurgitated almost all food. She had already completed a massage course at the hospital, but without results. Until that day, I had never held a child in my arms, let alone had to do something with her. I had neither the necessary knowledge nor experience working with such diagnoses, I only had the desire to help. And perhaps this desire gave me the strength to feel not the fear of responsibility and my uncertainty, but love, which showed through my smile when I worked with her. And I am so grateful to her that she never cried, because I was not ready for that. My hands did something and often stopped at her neck, after which that place turned red and warmed up, like electrophoresis. Since I lacked knowledge, I trusted this process and did not interfere with it with my thoughts. After 10 sessions, Zlata walked on her own legs, holding my hands and smiling all the time, because she was absolutely healthy. When I said goodbye to her mother, she said: "you did a miracle with my child, thank you", - and I still don't understand how it happened.

But I received my first invaluable experience

Touch with intention, in a state of love, heals.

Later, I learned that the consequences of most birth injuries can be removed in the first 9 months of life.

My career was just beginning, I was 21 and somehow one day I lost everything - my boyfriend, housing, job, training .... myself ... and I had to return to Kryvbas. I was lost for almost 7 years, almost 7 years I circled around my life and could not get back into it again.

And I thank you, Petrovych, for giving me an unlimited pool membership. I started training again, but now I trained myself. I found a method that allows you to constantly improve the result without losing health. My result was better than ever, I swam and rejoiced. I understood that this is an endless process and I stopped being interested in medals and new achievements. I achieved what I wanted, I knew myself in sports. I also led a group of children with special needs and I wanted them not only to become champions, but also to be able to move more freely and independently.

I returned to massage and later began to study Applied Kinesiology, which turned my life upside down. This is the medicine worth studying. I was lucky because I had the opportunity to practice new knowledge every day, because I worked in the same building with Yemchenko Natalia Serhiivna, who with childish curiosity provided her body for studying algorithms.

My life consisted of learning and practice. This passion, unquenchable interest and incredible excitement from gaining new knowledge - this was and is my life. All my money went to education and it was not enough to rent housing, so I lived at work, slept on the couch, sometimes ate only what was left after the women's club, but I studied with the best doctors in the world, who gave the most incredible knowledge in the field of physiology, pathobiomechanics, biochemistry ..., and the interaction of all this with each other.

Years passed - experience appeared, and great depth of knowledge of the body and the person as a whole. All this was accompanied by the study of psychology, methods of working with emotional trauma, self-knowledge practices, qigong, etc. I am a happy person because I love what I do. I enjoy what happens in my office, because each case, each interaction is not like another.

My path was with circles, but these circles gave me incredible people, gave me a lot of knowledge and skills. I strive to live feeling integrity and harmony, so besides learning, I have many activities that give me satisfaction - travel, freediving, yoga, qigong, mushroom picking, gardening, leisure with family and friends, crafting and working with wood.

And I hope that I will have time to fulfill my dreams in the field of health.
