My name is Margarida Neves. I started my path as a therapist in 2016 when I joined the Traditional Chinese Medicine course at ESMTC in Lisbon. From that moment on, I discovered new therapeutic approaches.
Constant training and learning is important to complement and improve my therapeutic approach to my patients. It is important for me that you can consult all the necessary information to know my academic and professional path in the field of complementary therapies.
