Individual psychological support with integrated, evidence-based methods tailored to each person's needs.
"I believe our bodies are wisely designed and constantly work in our favor, even when they send unpleasant signals."
About me
In my work I use integrated, evidence-based methods that help restore physical and psychological balance. I believe a person's health and well-being are inseparable from the whole, and that each person is unique. That is why I approach each individual holistically, attending to the physical body alongside psychological processes, emotions, and inner being.
In consultations and therapy sessions, I care not only about easing symptoms but also about gaining a deeper understanding of their causes, supporting lasting change, and restoring inner balance and overall well-being.
I believe our bodies are wisely designed and constantly work in our favor, even when they send unpleasant signals or cause discomfort. In my practice I have found that the symptoms our body sends are messages worth hearing and understanding so we can recognize what we most need right now.
When working with people, I listen carefully to what matters to each person, help them understand their individual needs, and together we look for the most suitable solutions. It is especially important to me to create a safe, respectful, and supportive space where healing, growth, and change become possible.

Reviews
Rugilė's sincere attention and her very simple, clear way of communicating are remarkable qualities that I did not find in many other specialists' offices. The experience was wonderful and unique: I truly felt heard. I am incredibly grateful to have found you and to have reconfirmed an age-old truth for myself, that genius lies in simplicity. In my view, this kind of integrative therapy is exactly what people worn out by stress, tension, the weight of responsibility, and constant rushing need most today. One of the best integrative experiences I've had: the body rests, emotions are freed, and you finally understand what it means to have to look for strength within yourself!
Rugilė's touch is the greatest gift, a healing, a reconnection with your own body that you can give yourself, if only you dare. She is someone who gives a client so much because she constantly replenishes herself and has something to give. Hearing myself more clearly is what Rugilė teaches me, walking her own unique path, touching a person with great sensitivity, deep attention, and feeling. Through her work she helps me sense those same qualities within myself and learn to offer them to myself with her gentle support and encouragement, and the spaciousness she creates for my processes to simply be. I feel deep gratitude to Rugilė for letting me experience life in a new way.
