Nuno Azevedo is a licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, completing a Bachelor-level training in TCM and acupuncture. He specialises 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 1,000 hours of training — built a precise, attentive way of reading posture, tension, and pattern. That foundation carries directly into the treatment room.

What drew him to Chinese medicine was the way it maps the body. Where Western medicine offers clarity on structure and mechanism, TCM adds another layer — a framework that makes visible what is otherwise difficult to see: how systems connect, where flow is disrupted and why a complaint in one place often has its roots somewhere else entirely. It is a way of reading the body that, once understood, changes how everything looks.

That lens is what makes Balance Method acupuncture so effective in practice. By working through the meridian network rather than directly at the site of complaint, it is possible to influence the affected area precisely — often without placing a single needle near where the pain is. Most patients notice this immediately. Results tend to come quickly and the approach builds trust in the medicine itself.

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.
