In 2009, she moved to Peru to continue her education in herbal and alternative medicine, traveling throughout Colombia, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina.

Her primary goal is an alternative, health education for patients and to create a bridge between the current, Western medical paradigm and the Eastern and Indigenous medical traditions. Dr. Bilyk believes education within the field of Oriental Medicine will instill a better future for the field, dedicating part of her time to burgeoning future physicians at multiple institutions including Lotus Professional College.
