My Story | Education & Training
My professional path has been guided by a holistic vision of health, centred on the person as a whole and within the context of their life.
My early experience in medical oncology at the Lisbon Oncology Institute (IPO Lisbon) made me deeply aware of the vulnerability of patients and their families, as well as the importance of a more humanised approach to care. This led me to develop a strong interest in palliative care.
In 2020, my personal experience with an oncological illness further reinforced this path and motivated me to deepen my knowledge in areas of medicine and healthcare focused on the whole person. Since then, I have pursued training in lifestyle medicine, integrative and functional medicine, nervous system regulation, the microbiome, health coaching, and yoga in oncology, integrating these tools into my clinical practice.
My PhD also enables me to critically analyse the latest scientific evidence and apply it thoughtfully and rigorously to each individual case.
