About me

OSTEOPATHIC AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
I am a diagnostician, osteopath and functional medicine specialist, with a double medical degree: in osteopathic medicine and masters in physiotherapy, with post diploma in functional medicine. I have 11+ years of clinical experience, treated thousands of patients in Europe, South-East Asia and Middle East. Currently I am also a student for international diploma in animal osteopathy.â
â
CURRENT CLINIC PRACTICE
I practice in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where in 2023 I received a medical license from Dubai Health Authority and joined the team in the oldest osteopathy clinic in the Gulf, Osteopathic Health Centre. I continue on giving online functional medicine consultations for patients around the world. I am certified as functional medicine specialist by the biggest and only board certified Institute for Functional Medicine, U.S. among only 19 other functional medicine specialist in UAE: https://www.ifm.org/practitioners/karolina-domaranczyk/
â
I work integratively, including all the three branches of osteopathy - parietal, cranial and visceral. I base my diagnostic process and treatment on: functional and mitochondrial medicine, microbiology, breathing and stress management methods, longevity research and integrative medicine approach.
I specialise in metabolic conditions, GI dysfunctions, autoimmune conditions, sleep deprivations, anxiety, depression and headaches.
REINVENTING CLINIC WORK
Apart from treating, in 2019 I envisioned, developed and launched as a medical director, an innovative clinic for integrative medicine in Warsaw, Poland. In 2014 I collaborated on envisioning and opening the first clinic for lifestyle medicine in Warsaw, Poland.
â
In years 2020 - 2023 I was practicing osteopathy in pop-up clinic formula, as a nomad osteopath - I opened pop-ups in Sri Lanka, Bali, Spain and Poland. As for the functional medicine practice, I've been actively giving online consultations for patients around the world.âââ

ACADEMIC WORK
I had been honoured to become an academic assistant for Valeria’s Ferreira student’s visceral courses for Osteopathie Schule Deutschland. Before that I became the youngest academic assistant for cranial osteopathy courses for Osteopathie Schule Deutschland. I also used to provide consecutive translations for anatomy classes.
â
HUMANITARIAN WORK
In 2020 I envisioned and brought to life a Humanitarian Project for American NGO ElephantsNow.org, a project that provides osteopathic healthcare services for people in rural areas of Sri Lanka struggling with human-elephant conflict.
â
HOW IT BEGAN? MY MASSIVE TRANSFORMATIVE PURPOSE
I discovered my osteopathy calling back in 2011 after spending six months in a Japanese school in the middle of the forest in Denmark where I practised zen and budo with my Master Ko. After coming back from Denmark I began my studies at Masovian Medical School. Coming from a family of medical doctors, anatomy and diagnostics has always been an interest of mine. I've been cultivating on following my purpose to help people access their best health, believing that health is available to everyone if we know how to approach our anatomy.
