I was born and raised in Brazil and spent over a decade in Australia, where I completed my degree in Chinese Medicine. Living and working across different countries refined my clinical observation skills and strengthened my ability to assess each patient individually. This international experience allows me to adapt treatment strategies based on functional presentation rather than symptoms alone, while working comfortably with people from all backgrounds in a structured, outcome-oriented way.
After graduating, I worked in a Sydney clinic specializing in pregnancy, fertility, and IVF support. This provided extensive hands-on experience and strengthened my skills in pattern differentiation, reproductive health assessment, and patient-centered treatment planning. My approach combines traditional Chinese medical diagnostics with contemporary biomedical understanding particularly in pain modulation, autonomic nervous system regulation, stress response, and circulation aiming to restore physiological balance through measurable functional change.
My acupuncture practice is primarily based on the Master Tung system developed by Master Tung Ching-Chang, together with principles from Dr. Richard Tan s Balance Method. These methods use precise distal point selection and meridian relationships to produce rapid neurological and musculoskeletal responses, influencing central pain processing, endogenous opioid release, connective tissue signaling, and autonomic regulation.
Rather than fixed protocols, each session is guided by real-time clinical feedback, movement testing, and symptom changes, allowing immediate adjustment of point selection and objective tracking of progress. Today, these approaches are practiced internationally especially in the USA and Australia and are valued for treating complex or chronic conditions through a systematic, reproducible, and results-focused clinical framework.
