SPECIALIST IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
NURSE
I graduated in Nursing in 2004 from the Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto, but as soon as I started nursing I began studying different non-conventional therapies, as a result of my desire to understand health and the world from different perspectives.
In 2011, I completed my specialization in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences, a course taught in partnership with the University of Heidelberg in Germany, where I was trained in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.
I found in Traditional Chinese Medicine a vision of the human being as a whole, as an ecosystem in constant change, adaptation and interaction with the environment.
My great passion for the subject of fertility has meant that in recent years my entire training and clinical practice has been directed towards the areas of Acupuncture in Infertility, Acupuncture in Pregnancy and Menstrual Health literacy, and I have had the opportunity to learn directly from several leading international authors.
My relationship with UTERUS began in 2018 after an invitation from Isabel to be a speaker at Nascer Positivo, sharing my experience of Acupuncture in Fertility.
The desire to be part of a multidisciplinary team, where everyone has their own contribution and know-how, led me to join the wonderful team at UTERUS. I believe that this is the only way to embrace the human being in all their complexity and achieve the best results.
You can find me in the Traditional Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture Consultation dedicated to women/couples who want to get pregnant, pregnant women and women’s health.
