Emma Martinot
principle osteopath 
Emma Martinot is a Dutch national who grew up in Devon, England. After finishing her schooling in the UK she travelled and worked around Western Europe and New Zealand for eight years. Her interest in osteopathy arose after she had impressive results from the osteopathic treatment of one of her many sports injuries. Because of this, Emma decided to return to education and found her vocation as an osteopath.
Emma’s experience and interest lies in all areas of osteopathy. Due to her sporting background and long history of injuries, she has a particular interest in sports therapy and rehabilitation, with a functional approach to any musculoskeletal problem. She also has a keen interest in treating babies and pre-natal mums. Hand in hand with Osteopathy she implements lifestyle changes and self-management advice necessary to help your problem.
Emma’s hobbies are particularly snowboarding and downhill mountain biking, and she spends most of her free time in the mountains and/or travelling.
Prior to coming to Bulgaria Emma was a self-employed osteopath, and also worked at Osteo & Physio, in Cullompton, UK.

Hristian Drosev
associate osteopath
Hristian Drosev graduated from the English Language School in Burgas, before his love for sports took him to Africa and Western Europe where he worked as a bike guide. His interest in physiotherapy and osteopathy was sparked after one of his many sports injuries endured during this time.
Hristian decided to complete his higher education in Physiotherapy at Vasil Levski National Sports Academy of Sciences in Sofia, passing with an honorary degree. He decided to pursue a professional path in Frankfurt, Germany, where he worked with the women’s soccer team – FСC Frankfurt.
Hristian developed his interest in osteopathy and completed a two-year course in Manual Therapy Osteopathic Concept, and training in Jaw Therapy (TMJ Dysfunctions). From there, he continued on to his ultimate goal – he graduated a four- year Osteopathy course with the international department of the European School of Osteopathy, England.
Hristian decided to slowly return to Bulgaria, where he feels he can benefit people greatly with his knowledge of musculoskeletal and functional health.
He continues to do sports, focusing on mountain and road biking, and travels often with his family.
