Acupuncturist & Founder of Embodhi
Nuno Azevedo
Acupuncture works. Not as a last resort, not as a wellness trend but as a practical, grounded tool for how the body actually functions. Embodhi exists to make that case, one step at a time.
ABOUT NUNO
Nuno Azevedo is a licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specialising in Balance Method acupuncture — a structured, results-focused approach that adapts to how each body responds over time.
His understanding of the body began through movement. Years of dance, performance, and yoga — which he has taught since 2011 with over 1000 hours of training — built a precise, attentive way of reading posture, tension, and pattern. That foundation carries directly into the treatment room.
Clinical work at Embodhi focuses on chronic pain, physical discomfort, and stress-related conditions. The approach combines the diagnostic clarity of Western medicine with the functional thinking of Chinese medicine — not as opposites, but as complements. Alongside acupuncture, Nuno is currently completing training in Chinese herbal medicine, extending the range of support available to patients.
Nuno is a member of the NWP (Beroepsvereniging voor Natuurgeneeskundig Werkende Professionals). The complaints procedure (Wkkgz) can be found here. He is affiliated with the NAP umbrella organisation, recognised by health insurer VGZ, which safeguards professional standards within complementary and psychosocial healthcare.
