Carla Branco

How I work

I'm Carla Branco, Acupuncturist at Clínica da Vila. After training in Acupuncture at The Acupuncture Academy, in the UK, grounded in Five Element Theory, I specialised in Paediatric Acupuncture.

I'm qualified to integrate other complementary Chinese medicine techniques — Chinese massage (Tui Na), cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, auriculotherapy and Chinese dietetics — choosing, in each session, the combination of tools best suited to the person in front of me.

"Acupuncture doesn't treat isolated symptoms — it listens to the body as a whole, and gives it back the balance it needs to function again."

I'm a Member of the British Acupuncture Council. I work with particular care when treating children, using gentle, age-appropriate techniques, and with adults presenting with stress, anxiety, insomnia and chronic imbalances.
