Tatiana Ferapontova
Hirudotherapy & Naturopathy Practitioner
Tatiana's path to healing began with her own health journey. Born with a hereditary vascular condition, she was told she would never have children. After years of treatment, countless operations, and sheer determination, she defied expectations—becoming a mother to two daughters, though not without challenges, including a stroke following her second birth.
Faced with a lifetime of pharmaceutical drugs and their toll on her body, Tatiana sought alternative therapies. She discovered hirudotherapy (leech therapy) as part of her stroke rehabilitation—and it changed everything. When her therapist moved abroad, she encouraged Tatiana to train and continue treating herself. What began as personal necessity soon became a calling.
Now a qualified practitioner, Tatiana combines hirudotherapy with naturopathy and pharmacology training to offer holistic care tailored to each client's needs. She understands the complex drug regimens many clients manage and works alongside their existing treatments.
Tatiana's unique upbringing shaped her analytical approach to health. Born in Azerbaijan, raised in Germany and on Sakhalin Island near Japan by an engineer father, where studied advanced mathematics, physics, Japanese and Korean from a young age. At 15, she was studying organic living at Moscow's Agricultural Academy and later practice at Zurich's university - knowledge that still informs her practice today.

Philosophy
"It's like our body is sleeping, either because it is 'dirty' or for another reason. It needs unblocking."
Tatiana views her leeches as active collaborators in the healing process—tiny helpers she cares for with great fondness. She believes in treating the root cause, not just symptoms: "It's like a blocked sink. You don't take the sink apart - you find the causal blockage, clean it from there and only then return to the sink."
Her approach is thorough, gentle, and deeply personal. Many clients arrive apprehensive and leave calling the leeches "our friends."
