Hi, my name is Marcin Dominiak and I am the new ThinkTree Ambassador for Poland. I am a massage therapist and bio energy healer, based in London and originally from Łódź
and I thought I would share with you a little of my background.
I have been suffering from various health issues since my early childhood – in truth, even before I was born – with problems with my kidneys and immune system as well as a kind of hip dysplasia that made it difficult to walk. So, for my first 20 odd years I was ill!
Not that that stopped me having a normal life as I went through education, studied International Relations and ended up running a real estate business.
I had been recommended to have an operation to deal with what had been diagnosed as a severe disc hernia, but there was a 50% probability of having to use a wheelchair after it, so of course we were looking for alternative solutions to the operation. This was a big step for us as we have lots of conventional medical influence in the family as my grandmother was a nurse. Fortunately, we managed to find a massage therapist who treated it thoroughly with no side effects in 2002 using a very specific type of Chinese/Tibetan massage.
In the meantime, my mum, who was suffering from cancer, found holistic medicine very helpful. That was the moment in my life which showed me that complementary therapies
and conventional medicine, are very effective and safe to use at the same time. According to conventional medicine, her cancer was incurable so she was looking for other options to survive and came across Bio-Energy healing. Bio Energy Therapy was very popular across Poland and Eastern Europe around 15 years ago. And, yes, she is still alive.
She also recommended Bio-Energy to me and I found it helpful and learnt it, like her too at the same time as studying and working. I just took the course for myself, but people would ask me to give them treatments after work. I have always been very sensitive. I was also being asked to give massage to people having gone to several schools in Poland, once I finished work for the day.
The good thing about all this is that I have had that perspective of being ill as a client and I can treat people because I know they feel.
Eventually, having run several businesses in two different countries, I finally turned myself entirely to holistic therapies. I came to London in 2014 for better opportunities and studied at the London School of Massage. I had friends here, I knew the language and originally it was just going to be a short stay!
So, I became a massage practitioner and Bio-Energy healer based in Acton working primarily with Polish clients and English speakers. I noticed that the most effective treatment is offered when we can support our clients on both the physical and energetic planes. I love spending time with people and sharing my passion with them. Gradually people started to ask me to teach them. That is why, together with my partner Natalia, we decided to establish Holistic Way Academy, where I can realize myself as a teacher.
