Traditional Chinese Medicine
A symptom is a manifestation of what is happening in the body.
The aim is to look beyond the symptom, understand what lies behind it and address the underlying imbalance.
The approach
No two people are alike, and care should not be either.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, I look beyond the symptom and consider the different dimensions that can influence your wellbeing, from sleep, stress and lifestyle to emotions, the menstrual cycle and your stage of life, among others.
From this global view, each consultation is individually designed, choosing the techniques that best suit each person's needs.
Attentive, complementary care, shaped around each person.

Do I need to know which technique I will receive?
No. The approach is defined after the assessment, according to your needs. A consultation may include different Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques.
