Dates to be announced
Bringing authentic Traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge to Portugal and the UK — for curious minds, healthcare professionals and students alike.
Nuno Pestana — who trained at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China and has practised TCM across the UK for over a decade — is planning a series of seminars and workshops in Portugal and the UK.
His goal is to make authentic Chinese medical knowledge accessible to Portuguese and UK audiences: from curious members of the public wanting to understand how TCM can support their health, to healthcare professionals seeking to integrate eastern perspectives into their practice, and students pursuing formal study of Chinese medicine.
Formats will range from introductory half-day workshops to full-day professional development sessions, conducted in both English and Portuguese.
Whether you're new to TCM or a seasoned practitioner, there is a format designed for you.
Curious about what Traditional Chinese Medicine is, how acupuncture works, or how Eastern health principles might benefit your daily wellbeing? These introductory workshops are for you — no prior knowledge required.
Physiotherapists, nurses, doctors and other healthcare practitioners seeking to understand TCM principles, integrate complementary approaches or better advise patients who are interested in Chinese medicine.
Students of Chinese medicine or acupuncture at any stage of their training, looking to deepen their clinical understanding, hear from a practitioner with direct experience of study and internship in China.
Topics are indicative and will be confirmed as dates are announced. Specific sessions may be adapted to the audience.
The philosophy, history and fundamental concepts of TCM — Qi, Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, meridians and organ systems. Ideal for beginners.
How acupuncture works from both a Chinese medicine and a biomedical perspective. Live demonstration of needle technique and key acupoints.
An introduction to the Chinese pharmacopoeia — how formulas are built, how they differ from Western herbalism, and how to prescribe safely.
A clinical deep-dive into the treatment of menstrual disorders, PCOS, IVF support and menopausal conditions using acupuncture and herbs.
The therapeutic properties of food in Chinese medicine — how to use diet to support treatment, prevent disease and build long-term vitality.
Real clinical cases from Nuno's practice — differential diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcomes in chronic pain, fertility and digestive conditions.
