View BioClose Bio

For 26 years, Beata Chwalek-Hruswicki has focused on helping people care for body, mind and spirit through natural approaches to wellness.

Her path began in Poland, where she trained as a pharmacist and a nurse. That foundation shaped her understanding of medicine and the care patients need. In the United States, she expanded her work as a naturopathy practitioner and longevity specialist.

Beata takes time to understand each patient’s story, their concerns and what they hope to improve. Her approach considers the whole person, including stress, past experiences, lifestyle and environment.

At Qi Wellness Clinic, she brings that personal attention together with traditional healing practices and modern wellness services. Her goal is to support healthy aging, vitality and lasting well-being, in a space where patients feel heard and understood.
