Ania Szczepanik offers treatments in traditional acupuncture and holistic bodywork at Eau de Vie, Oxford’s leading natural health centre.

From 2004, Ania studied acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, where she gained a first class BSc(hons) degree. Her extensive training brought together the profound ideas of yin/yang theory (using Traditional Chinese Medicine) and the Five Elements (using constitutional diagnosis). Ania uses this ancient wisdom to treat a range of conditions and to naturally restore, promote and maintain good health and wellbeing.

Ania is also an experienced bodywork practitioner. She studied holistic massage at the Academy of Natural Health in London in 2002, gaining a diploma from the International Therapy Examination Council as well as the Massage Training Institute. She has since trained in myofascial release and clinical massage with JING, the UK’s foremost institute for advanced massage training. Ania is committed to ongoing professional development. She attends a regular supervision group and has completed various other post-graduate courses, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, holistic pulsing, ayurvedic massage, Indian head massage, reiki healing levels I & II and counselling skills.

Before pursuing her career in alternative medicine, Ania obtained a BA(hons) in nursing and has worked within specialist fields of children's surgery. Ania has also been a dedicated yoga practitioner for over ten years. Her daily yoga practice and her study with world-class teachers continue to inspire and inform her work with clients.
