What people ask most often.
Answers to what people ask before they come. If you cannot find yours, write to me.
- How long is a session and what does it cost?
- A session lasts 50 minutes and costs 80 Euros/400 RON.
- Where does the session take place?
- Online, or in person in the Sfânta Vineri area of Bucharest. The exact address follows once the appointment is set.
- Do I need a referral from another doctor?
- No. You can come directly. If you have recent imaging or lab work, bring it, as it shortens the assessment.
- What should I wear?
- Something comfortable you can move in. The assessment involves movement, not only palpation.
- Is the first session only a consultation?
- No. Assessment and treatment happen in the same process, not in separate visits.
- How do I book?
- Fill in the form on the booking page. For anything else, write to doctorameliavoinea@gmail.com.
- Is this physiotherapy?
- In part. Manual therapy and movement are part of the treatment, and there they overlap with what a physiotherapist does. What differs is the frame: I am a doctor, specialised in physical medicine and rehabilitation, so the hands-on work sits inside a medical assessment rather than standing on its own, and it is one of several things a session can draw on.
- Is this psychotherapy?
- No. I am a medical doctor, not a psychotherapist. I have trained in Somatic Experiencing and Integral Somatic Psychology, and I use that training inside a medical consultation. It does not replace psychotherapy, and it is not what I offer.
- I have already done a lot of body and therapy work. What is different here?
- The training I use comes from three directions that usually sit in separate rooms: medical assessment, fascial and visceral manual work, and work with the nervous system and with how the body processes emotion. A session can move between them, in one process, rather than sending you to three people who each see one part.
- Do you work with practitioners, therapists, coaches, bodyworkers?
- Yes. A good part of the people who come to me work with others professionally, and come for their own process.
