When Chronic Health Issues
Haven’t Responded to
Conventional Treatment
I’m Victoria Ratmanova, an Integrative Health Practitioner working with women who have chronic health conditions, often after conventional medicine hasn’t provided the answers they were looking for.
I combine Traditional Chinese and Western herbalism with psychosomatics to address root causes rather than just managing symptoms.
Most of my clients come to me after trying multiple approaches without lasting results. They’re usually dealing with conditions that have persisted for months, or years, and they’re looking for a different perspective on what’s happening in their bodies.
My areas of focus include female health, hormonal imbalances, digestive and metabolic issues, skin conditions, and a broad range of other chronic health problems.
I work primarily online via Zoom, with clients globally, and also see a small number of local clients in person at my practice in Amstelveen, Netherlands.
About Me
My Personal Journey to Healing
My path into this work started with my own health challenges. I struggled with infertility for 13 years. Western medicine couldn’t identify what was causing it, which meant there wasn’t much they could offer in terms of treatment.
That’s when I started looking into alternative approaches and herbal medicine. I studied extensively and began testing different protocols on myself. The results were significant. I completely resolved severe menstrual pain I’d been living with. I conceived naturally not long after and gave birth to my daughter at home.
That experience changed the direction of my life. I’ve now been practicing for 17 years, working primarily with women who are dealing with chronic conditions that haven’t responded to conventional treatment, or looking for approaches that address underlying causes.

My Approach
How I Look at Health
The conventional medical model tends to treat the body as separate systems. You see one specialist for digestive issues, another for skin problems, another for hormonal concerns. The focus is usually on managing what you’re experiencing rather than understanding why it’s happening in the first place. Emotional well-being and lifestyle factors are often left out of the picture entirely.
This approach works well for many acute conditions and emergencies. But with chronic health issues, there are often underlying patterns that this model isn’t designed to address.
I work differently.
I combine Traditional Chinese and Western herbalism with an understanding of how emotional and psychological patterns affect physical health. Everything in the body is connected. One organ doesn’t function in isolation from the others, and physical symptoms don’t exist separately from our emotional state.
When I treat one condition, other seemingly unrelated issues often improve as well. That’s not coincidence. It’s because we’re addressing underlying imbalances rather than just the surface level.
My core belief is straightforward. Your body has an innate ability to heal when it’s given the right support.
What Consultations Look Like
I ask detailed questions to understand your full health picture. Not just your main complaint, but your medical history, lifestyle, diet, sleep, stress levels, emotional patterns, and anything else that might be relevant.
I also use TCM diagnostic methods, which include looking at your tongue, checking your pulse, and observing other physical signs that give information about what’s happening internally.
Then I explain what I’m seeing. What might be causing your symptoms from a TCM and a psychosomatic perspective, and why your body might be responding the way it is.
Based on the gathered information, I will create a personalized treatment plan for you that includes herbal remedies as well as diet and lifestyle recommendations.
Everything in the body is connected. We cannot separate the physical symptom from the emotional experience.

This is for you if you want a personalized, guided detox program to give all your body’s systems a comprehensive health upgrade. This includes: a microbiome reset, liver detox, parasite elimination, and hormonal rebalancing. This can also be very helpful when you’re preparing for a pregnancy.
Some Practicalities
What Your Protocol Might Include
Depending on your situation, your treatment plan may include the following.
- Custom herbal formulas specific to your condition
- Dietary recommendations based on TCM principles
- Guidelines for addressing psycho-emotional patterns that may be contributing to physical symptoms
What’s Required from Your Side
This approach works best when you’re willing to do the following.
- Make changes to diet and lifestyle as recommended
- Follow the protocol consistently for several weeks or months (healing takes time)
- Look at emotional and psychological patterns alongside physical symptoms
Who This Is Not For
I don’t work with acute medical emergencies that need immediate hospital care or severe psychiatric conditions that require specialized mental health treatment.
All online consultations are conducted via Zoom. In-person sessions are available at my practice in Amstelveen for local clients.
Sustainable health is not a quick fix. It is a profound commitment to yourself, unraveling years of imbalances step by step.
Client Results
A Few Examples
Gallbladder Polyp Dissolved
A 30-year-old client came to me after being diagnosed with a gallbladder polyp. After four months on a protocol, she had a follow-up ultrasound. The polyp was gone.
Early Menopause
A 39-year-old client had been diagnosed as menopausal by her doctor and wanted to avoid synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Within six weeks on an individualized herbal protocol, her hormones were rebalanced and her menstrual cycle resumed.
Perimenopause Symptoms
A client experiencing daily hot flashes and chronic insomnia started a Chinese herbal medicine protocol. Both issues resolved completely within one month.
Resolving Eczema
A client with recurring eczema had been prescribed conventional medications to manage and suppress her symptoms. The Chinese herbal protocol alongside dietary adjustments led to continual improvements. Within three weeks, the eczema was resolved.
Endometriosis Reversal
A client had been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for four years to manage endometriosis and intermenstrual bleeding. While the HRT stopped the bleeding, it did not resolve the endometriosis. After following a tailored herbal protocol for just two months, her gynecologist performed a follow-up ultrasound and found no remaining signs of endometriosis.
We’re addressing underlying imbalances rather than just the surface level of what you’re experiencing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this safe to combine with medications I’m already taking?
Yes. I review your current medications during the consultation to make sure there are no interactions with the herbs I recommend.
Where do I get the herbs?
I provide a list of trusted online dispensaries where you can order them.
Are there any contraindications?
Generally no, but I review your full medical history, existing conditions, and any allergies during our initial consultation to make sure everything is safe for your specific situation.
Will there be side effects?
Sometimes people experience mild detox symptoms as the body clears toxins. These are usually short-lived and actually a sign that the protocol is working.
How long does it take to see results?
It varies. Some people notice changes within a week. Others take several months, especially with more complex internal conditions. Skin issues and sleep problems tend to respond relatively quickly. Structural issues like polyps or cysts take longer.
What payment options are available?
I accept payments via bank transfer and PayPal.
Sometimes the only thing to do is take the next simple step.
