Founder & Lead Practitioner of the Lifebreath® Method
For Vladislava Artemenko, Lifebreath® therapeutical method is not just a discipline — it is a way of life and an inner calling. Since 2011, she has devoted herself fully to the practice of osteopathy-based therapies, building upon her extensive background in medicine and surgery. With a degree in orthopedics and traumatology, and a Candidate of Medical Sciences title earned in 2007, she brought with her seven years of surgical experience before dedicating herself to osteopathy. Over the past 11 years, she has worked with thousands of patients, offering care that blends scientific precision with a deeply human and intuitive approach.
Vladislava sees Lifebreath® as more than technique — it is a philosophy and an internal position of the physician. For her, a true doctor is someone who questions, explores, and learns continually from life and nature. This outlook guides her teaching as well: since 2019, she has been leading training programs, sharing her knowledge not through rigid algorithms, but by helping students develop the sensitivity to listen, palpate, analyze, and truly engage in dialogue with the body.
Her teaching philosophy emphasizes real experience over paperwork. Rather than chasing diplomas and titles, she inspires future Lifebreath® practitioners to build competence through practice, perception, and reflection. Many of her students now practice successfully as Lifebreath® specialists themselves.
With over two decades in medicine, Vladislava combines rigorous medical training with a profound respect for the body’s innate wisdom. Her mission is to guide both patients and students on a journey of discovery, growth, and healing — always with curiosity, humility, and a dedication to lifelong learning.
“A doctor is not the one who knows everything, but the one who continues to seek, to question, and to learn from every patient.”
