Chinese Medicine and Integrative Health Clinic

The diagnostic consultation was the key

"I went through five pregnancy losses and my heart was in pieces (...) I found much more than treatments; I found understanding and support. The diagnostic appointment was the key to understanding what was happening to me, after so many medical appointments I thought it would be a waste of time, but no! (...) a year of treatments later I have my miracle in my arms. I had given up a long time ago and it turned out that my son was still waiting for me (...) thank you forever Dr. Filipa!"

I went from a totally traumatic first birth to a wonderful birth

"Not only would my pregnancy have been different without Essence, but even the birth itself. From all the support during pregnancy, to the aromatherapy preparation that worked wonders between contractions, to the essential birth course, where I must especially highlight Dr. Caterina's incredible classes... I went from a totally traumatic first birth to a wonderful birth that was a very happy experience. Eternally grateful to have come across you. 💖"

She wasn't just a patient but a person they cared about

"I arrived at Essence in a state of total exhaustion with no energy for the daily routine and I had already requested sick leave many times. With time I recovered everything, but the thing that struck me most was feeling that I wasn't just a patient but a person they cared about, they remembered the conversations we had in the consulting room... they're amazing."

I felt like myself again, but younger.

"I felt tired, I had no energy and even less motivation to spend time with my family and people said I was depressed, but I knew I wasn't, I just needed to change my life. The team was clear from the start: we were entering a new phase. The counseling brought me balance, my sleep improved and my mood even changed (and with it my desire, which hadn't been the same for years). I feel like myself again, but younger."

I was surprised to stop having period pains.

"Pain was so much a part of my routine that I organized my life around my cycle. After I started at Essence, not only did I manage to reduce the intensity of the crises in the first two sessions, but I was surprised to stop having menstrual pain. I felt that I wasn't alone in this struggle that my mother has also lived with all her life."

In 8 months my baby arrived...

"At Essence I learned to know my body and to trust myself again. Filipa guided me and was very patient, and the team was great with all the treatments. In 8 months my baby arrived... thank you forever."
