Someone once said that if you want to master any art, you always need  to go back to its foundation. Chinese Medicine, a healing art of thousands of years, the support and foundation for all current Eastern and Western medicine, which treats patients in their physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects. Hence, in order to achieve the aforementioned goal, I believe that a good Chinese Medicine practitioner should be more than a healer, but as in the Yellow Emperor Classic of Internal Medicine once said, he should be an educator - helping their patients to be in charge of their own health. Thus, my practice involves not only treating symptoms of diseases after they have arisen, but mainly walking together with my patients with a more preventive and educative approach, helping them to understand the laws of nature to assume responsibility for their own health and happiness.  

While looking to pursue a deeper understanding of TCM and Women’s Health, I completed an Advanced Acupuncture Course in Gynecology at Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center located in Beijing, China, in October 2024.
