I grew up in Lisbon and throughout my adolescence I dreamed of being a professional dancer. It was Dance that led me to embark on the world of Internal and External Martial Arts, starting initially as a self-taught practitioner of Chinese Medicine.

In 2004 I graduated in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the School of Chinese Medicine and Nanjing University.

I practiced Martial Arts for 10 years and graduated in Yogatherapy from Swami Vivekananda University in Bangalore.

In 2009 I began my studies in Japanese Acupuncture by the Toyohari Association and since 2020 I have been dedicated to the study and prescription of Jing Fang, Classical Chinese Herbal Formulas.

Casa Sakra was born from a clear vision that success is based on the integration of knowledge and experiences in health and life.

"This is a medicine that has sparked a great passion and curiosity in me. It is, in a way, a medicine that becomes a way of being and living, approaching the human being as a whole and considering their environment and the importance of connection with Nature."

Graduated in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Specialized in Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion.

Training in Integrated Reflexology.

For many years I worked the land, planting trees and vegetable gardens, it is a connection that will always exist in me, how important contact with the land and nature is.

This connection also awakened curiosity about plant medicine and the promotion of health in a more natural way.

I discovered Chinese Medicine through friends and books and was captivated.

I then began studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, which over the years was complemented by various training within the therapeutic area.

I specialize in Japanese acupuncture in the Kiiko Matsumoto style, which uses diagnostic techniques based on palpation and the direct effect of the needle on the body's reflexes. Japanese acupuncture is also a softer and more delicate style, where a lot of work is done on the surface of the body with profound results.

I also specialized in advanced moxibustion, which is a very effective technique for treating pain and regulating the body's balance.

I have successfully treated cases of gynecological, respiratory, digestive and pain problems.

I also specialize in reflexology, a therapy in which the principle is to use specific points on the feet and hands that connect with the organs and systems of our body, promoting body balance and relaxation.

“This is a medicine that has the ability to view the body as a whole and understand the origin of the imbalance causing the disease. It improves both physical and mental health through techniques applied in the clinic by the therapist, but also by adjusting the patient’s lifestyle habits.”
