About Nuno
Nuno Azevedo is a licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), specializing in Balance Method acupuncture. His clinical work focuses on supporting recovery from chronic pain, physical discomfort, and stress-related conditions through individualized treatment tailored to each person and their condition.

In addition to his clinical practice, Nuno also hosts retreats that integrate acupuncture and movement, creating a supportive environment for recovery and long-term wellbeing.
