Anna Klimashevskaya – About me
"Working with my patients, I always wondered if I was treating them according to the principle proclaimed by Hippocrates, "It is not the disease that should be treated, but the patient"
My medical journey
My name is Anna Klimashevskaya.
I was born and grew up in Irkutsk city, where I graduated from high school and medical institute (pediatric department). After graduation, I worked as a consultant physician, combining practical and scientific activities (the latter resulted in defense of my doctoral dissertation in pathophysiology).

The question that stayed with me for many years
While working with patients, I kept asking myself the same question: am I truly treating the person, in accordance with the principle formulated by Hippocrates — “Treat the patient, not the disease”?
Or, while applying all the skills and knowledge I had acquired through conventional medical training, was I ultimately still treating diseases — sinusitis, otitis, colitis and others — by relying on familiar treatment protocols developed over many years and sometimes regarded as almost unquestionable, while the patient as an individual, the particular characteristics and specific nature of their condition moved into the background?
It took me years to find an answer.

My personal path to homeopathy
In the end, I found that answer — partly “thanks” to my persistence and the birth of my second child.
I made a clear decision for myself that I would treat my son differently — no more antibiotics, fever-reducing medication and similar treatments.
It was at that time that I met a wonderful homeopathic physician, Marina Mikhailovna Kondratyeva.
Her experience — already more than 25 years at that time — her knowledge, patience and kindness convinced me that this was the kind of medicine I wanted to make part of my own therapeutic practice: medicine that truly treats and heals not the disease, but the patient.
All of my son's health problems — whether purulent tonsillitis, acute otitis, laryngotracheitis or dermatitis — I treated exclusively using the homeopathic method.

Training in classical homeopathy
After gaining greater confidence and some initial practical experience, I decided that it was time to continue my education.
I began my studies at the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy, founded by the internationally renowned homeopath Professor George Vithoulkas of Greece.
Studying at the Siberian branch of the Academy in Novosibirsk under the guidance of an exceptional teacher and physician in the truest sense of the word, D. A. Chabanov, Candidate of Medical Sciences, gave me far more than I had expected.
It gave me the confidence that this entire long journey of 25 years — from the beginning of my medical studies to completing my education at the Academy of Homeopathy — had not been in vain.

My work today
I have been practicing as a homeopathic physician since 2013.
I continue to develop professionally by attending seminars and lectures and by participating in clinical case discussions, conferences and other forms of continuing education.
Every case is unique. It cannot be fitted into fixed standards or rigid frameworks. And it is precisely this kind of medicine that brings relief from suffering and ultimately gives health.
