CLINICAL DIRECTOR

Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine at ESMTC in Lisbon, graduating with academic distinction across all five years of study. Alongside supervised clinical training, served as an assistant instructor in Acupuncture and Dietetics, as well as clinical internship coordinator for Tui Na.

Further clinical experience was gained through an internship at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the People’s Republic of China, a nationally recognised reference hospital, where practice was developed in a high-level clinical environment.

The clinical approach focuses primarily on internal medicine conditions, with the main use of acupuncture, moxibustion, and Chinese herbal medicine. All treatments are based on thorough differential diagnosis and a fully individualised therapeutic plan.

In 2025, Meraki Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic was founded with the aim of creating a specialised, multidisciplinary, and well-coordinated team capable of providing the highest standard of patient care.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE THERAPIST

Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and certified as a Therapeutic Qi Gong Instructor at ESMTC (Escola de Medicina Tradicional Chinesa) in Lisbon, this practitioner’s background is strongly rooted in extensive clinical practice developed through several years of supervised internships throughout the training.

Clinical experience was further expanded internationally through an internship at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the People’s Republic of China, where treatment was experienced in a high-level clinical environment.

Movement is considered a fundamental pillar of health, and this dynamic and active approach is integrated into patient wellbeing. Clinical focus is primarily on musculoskeletal conditions, electroacupuncture, and aesthetic acupuncture.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE THERAPIST

Came to Traditional Chinese Medicine after an academic background in other fields — a journey that brought a broader perspective on health and the human being.

Trained at ESMTC, completing five years of study across the main branches of classical Chinese medicine.

The approach is strongly holistic: rather than treating symptoms alone, the focus is on understanding the underlying imbalances and helping patients develop the tools to manage their own health.

Patient autonomy is considered an essential part of the therapeutic process — therefore, care extends beyond the consultation into education, daily habits, and practical tools that support long-term wellbeing.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE THERAPIST

Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine at ESMTC, completing a five-year academic program with in-depth training across the five core branches of TCM: Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tui Na Massage, Dietetics, and Qi Gong.

During training, four years of clinical internship were completed, working with a wide range of cases and developing strong technical and clinical skills.

The approach to consultation is centred on providing a space of listening, care, and personalised follow-up, with each treatment adapted to the unique needs of the patient.

Clinical interests include Obstetrics and Paediatrics, with a therapeutic focus on Tui Na massage, acupuncture, and Western herbal medicine.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE THERAPIST

Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Instituto Português de Naturologia, guided from the beginning by a core belief that continues to shape clinical practice today: that helping others often means giving them the tools to care for themselves.

This philosophy is reflected both in clinical work and teaching. A significant part of practice is dedicated to the body-based disciplines of Traditional Chinese Medicine, namely Tai Ji Quan and Qi Gong, which are taught as methods of self-care and balance.

In clinical practice, the main focus is on acupuncture and therapeutic massage, with particular emphasis on the treatment of pain and sports-related injuries.
