Biography

I am a women’s health physiotherapist, researcher, and educator with international experience gained in Poland, the Czech Republic, Norway, Spain and Canada. Since the beginning of my career, I am dedicated to advancing perineal and pelvic health for women. For many years I worked at leading women’s health and sexology centres in Poland. Currently, I divide my professional and personal life between Poland and Canada, where I conduct my postdoctoral fellowship focused on pelvic pain at the Pelvic Health Research Laboratory at the Université de Sherbrooke. As an International Director of the International Pelvic Pain Society (IPPS), I am actively engaged in advancing and improving care for people living with pelvic pain worldwide through interdisciplinary collaboration, education, and global outreach. I am passionate about bridging the gap between research and practice to make science more engaging, accessible, and user-friendly.
