About Us
For over fifteen years, the Fundacja IZP has bridged the gap between traditional medicine and psychotherapy, delivering evidence-based psychosomatic treatment to patients across Poland.
The Fundacja IZP (Fundacja Instytut Zdrowia Psychosomatycznego) was established with a single, powerful belief: human health cannot be divided into separate physical and mental categories. True wellbeing emerges when we treat the whole person – body, mind, and emotions – as one integrated system.
For over 15 years, we have been pioneers in psychosomatic medicine across Poland and Europe. Our foundation brings together leading therapists, psychologists, physicians, and researchers who share a common mission: to make holistic healthcare accessible, compassionate, and scientifically grounded.
Our Story
The idea for Fundacja IZP was born in clinical practice. Our founders repeatedly saw patients who bounced between specialists – a cardiologist for chest pain, a neurologist for headaches, a gastroenterologist for stomach issues – only to discover the root cause was emotional stress, trauma, or unresolved psychological conflict. No one was looking at the whole picture.
In 2009, we decided to change that. What started as a small therapy center in Rzeszów has grown into a recognized non-profit foundation serving hundreds of patients annually, training healthcare professionals, and conducting research that advances the field of psychosomatic medicine.

The somatic mapping approach
By operating as a non-profit foundation in Warsaw, we ensure that highly specialized, interdisciplinary mind-body healthcare remains accessible to low-income patients who are otherwise excluded from private clinical care.
Physical suffering is rarely isolated. We analyze the nervous system as a complex dialogue between personal history, neurological patterns, and physiology, validating unresolved physical symptoms through rigorous science.
We address root causes, not just symptoms, providing a clinical sanctuary for those dismissed by traditional diagnostics.
Scientific clinical standards
Our foundation conducts rigorous clinical research and publishes peer-reviewed studies in psychosomatic medicine, training the next generation of healthcare practitioners.
Peer-reviewed research
Professional education
Accessible healthcare
We host scientific conferences and specialized workshops for doctors, psychologists, and medical professionals across Poland.
We publish active studies on somatoform disorders, validating clinical methods through objective physiological data.
Our non-profit structure funds subsidized therapy programs, ensuring high-quality clinical care is available to everyone.
A clinical mind-body alliance
Whether you are a patient seeking specialized somatic therapy, a donor looking to fund accessible healthcare, or a medical professional pursuing training, your support drives clinical integration.
