The support was much more than clinical; it was human

"For years I had heard that I would never get pregnant. When they told me about the Essence Method, I confess I was skeptical (...) After 7 months of support, I became pregnant for the first time and they took me in their arms until my baby was born. The support was much more than clinical; it was human and like family. Thank you for giving me back my hope and helping us to become a family."

The pain has decreased dramatically

"I had surgery to remove the endometriosis foci, but the symptoms persisted. When I started at Essence, I finally felt a personalized approach. The pain has decreased dramatically and I feel energized like never before. Eternally grateful!"

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!"

2 months later everything has improved 100%!!!

"Our baby had colic that made him cry for hours at a time. We were desperate, he wouldn't sleep and neither would we. The care of Filipa and the team reassured us and started treating him with simple methods such as massage on acupuncture points, which we also did at home. Every night he was treated and the following days he was a saint! 2 months later everything had improved 100%!!!"

There was science and care behind every decision

"I had very irregular cycles and persistent acne. I'd been told about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome but it had never been explained to me clearly. At Essence I not only found a therapeutic plan, they explained the tests, the hormonal markers, referred me to the medical team and I did everything at the same time as acupuncture and herbal medicine. After four months my cycles began to regularize and my skin also improved with the clays and products they recommended. What struck me most was realizing that there was science and care behind every decision and that this was nothing esoteric."

I've improved so much that I haven't had any crises this year

"For us at home, sinusitis and allergies mean taking regular medication, but I've changed my diet, taken herbal medicine and I've improved so much that this year I haven't had crises like I used to. Thank 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."

They explained every step to us and the team was always available

"My daughter lived with migraines and anxiety. She even missed school because she couldn't stand the pain. Every step was explained to us and the team was always available to answer any questions. Even the reception staff, who were always so kind, helped to relieve the most difficult days and arrange places even at the last minute. Today my daughter is different and the last headache was more than 4 months ago... thank you for taking care of my little girl!"

It should be a compulsory postnatal service for women and babies.

"Our baby cried for hours because of colic. After the sessions we immediately saw a difference. He sleeps better and so do we... bless acupuncture and massage! It should be a compulsory postnatal service for women and babies."
