Claudia Caldas
Claudia's practice involves not only treating symptoms of diseases after they have arisen, but mainly walking together with her patients with a more preventive and educative approach, helping them to understand the laws of nature to assume responsibility for their own health and happiness.
While looking to pursue a deeper understanding of TCM and Women’s Health, Claudia completed an Advanced Acupuncture Course in Gynecology at Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center located in Beijing, China, in October 2024
