<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Graduated in Physiotherapy from the Escola Superior de Saúde do Alcoitão in 2010, she has focused her practice early on in the field of maternal and child health. Over her 16-year professional journey, she has continued to deepen her clinical expertise. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In women’s pelvic health, supporting women throughout motherhood—from pregnancy to postpartum—with a preventive and functional approach, promoting an informed, safe, and conscious experience during this period, as well as a calm and confident recovery and return to physical exercise.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In pediatrics, in the respiratory and pelvic areas. She works with acute respiratory conditions such as bronchiolitis or pulmonary infections, upper airway obstructions, pneumonia, among others, promoting mobilization and expectoration, reducing breathing difficulties, assisting in symptom management, and restoring the child’s ability to perform basic needs such as sleep and feeding. In the pelvic area, she supports processes such as toilet training, urinary issues (urgency and incontinence), and bowel issues (constipation, fecal incontinence), providing close and individualized support to both the child and the family.  </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She chose to join Essence because she wanted to be part of a structured, dedicated, and transparent team. This connection began as a client experience, through close and effective support, and naturally evolved into the desire to become part of the team. After experiencing Essence’s approach firsthand, being part of this project became a true professional and personal motivation!  </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She graduated in Physiotherapy and it was during her last internship that she found her first passion, neurology, at the Centro de Medicina de Reabilitação de Alcoitão, where she spent 16 years working with adults, with a brief stint in pediatrics.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During this period, her constant search for clinical tools and knowledge led her to also graduate in Osteopathy. It was here that she fell in love with the world of babies and decided to specialize in Children's Osteopathy. She felt that this would be her new path to happiness and personal fulfillment.  </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She has furthered her knowledge, specializing in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy, breastfeeding, cranial asymmetries and posture, among others, in order to respond to the specific needs of each baby and their families.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was at one of the ASA events, a volunteer project to support breastfeeding, where she works as a physiotherapist and pediatric osteopath, that she met Essence. There are energies that can't be explained and she felt an immediate connection, in a welcoming, humanized space, with a holistic and integrative vision. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">"At the pace of each baby, helping families is what drives me!"</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Specialist in Osteopathy and Physiotherapy, holder of professional licenses C-0032330 and 1539</p>
