About Me
Your Path to Better Health Begins Here
Who I Am
My name is Nicolas and I was born in Brazil in 1986, grew up in Luxembourg and have returned here after 12 years to practice Chinese medicine in my home city.
I have been a certified yoga teacher since 2014 and a dedicated practitioner, having gone on many month-long retreats and experienced positive changes in my own body and mind.
In 2015 I got my first bodywork certification for Thai massage and during that training, as well as countless other health and yoga workshops Chinese Medicine kept being mentioned.
With its status as the oldest continuous tradition and most coherent system, it quickly appeared to me as the best approach to making predictable and lasting changes to health.
I started working in wellness and relaxation bodywork in 2015 but developed an increased interest in therapeutic and clinical possibilities. It was also clear at that time, that I was meeting patients that I could not help predictably and reliably. Seeking answers and ways to bring the promises of ancient texts into the modern clinic proved to be more challenging than getting excited about the magical feats of a distant past.
From 2020 to 2023, I attended the three-year acupuncture training program at ABZ Mitte in Offenbach am Main, Germany. During this program, 200 hours were dedicated to treating patients under the supervision of experienced practitioners.
I have been a member of the not-for-profit Association for Traditional Studies since 2017. Through a combination of online training content, face-to-face training, personal practice, and interactions with other practitioners, I have deepened my understanding of Chinese medicine and increased the effectiveness of the treatments you receive.
Today I can say that I would not be in practice without the consistent and excellent work of ATS and their head teachers JulieAnn and Andrew Nugent-Ĥead who not only seek to preserve traditional methods, but to help many people to get to a level, where they can make a positive difference in their patient’s lives.
