She began her training in one of Porto's most important and fondly remembered spaces, the D'Ouro Clinic and Spa, receiving training from two of the most specialized professionals in the field, Nurse Eugénio Esteves and Nurse Sandrine Morais. Here, over six months, she received training in Endermotherapy – Velasmooth, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Pressotherapy, Electro-stimulation, Electroporation, Mesotherapy, Anti-cellulite Massage, and Swedish Relaxation Massage.

Between 2009 and 2012, she specialized in different methods – obtaining certification in Mesotherapy, Chemical Peeling, Velasmooth, Swedish Massage, Thai Massage, and Shiatsu.

However, her passion has always been Aesthetic Medicine, and in 2011 she decided to embrace a new project. She created an Aesthetic Medicine department at Medimar Clinica in Matosinhos, where she remained until 2017. These were years of great experience, significant personal and professional growth, and which greatly contributed to solidifying her knowledge both theoretically and practically.

During this period she specialized in other body and facial techniques, including Microneedling with Dermaroller, Focused Ultrasound, Radiofrequency, Pulsed Light and Mesotherapy.

In 2013, she accepted an invitation to teach at AFN – Academia Formação Norte, one of the most prestigious schools in the North of Portugal for certification in Aesthetics and Aesthetic Medicine, teaching courses in Mesotherapy, Microneedling-Dermaroller, and Chemical Peeling.

All of her progress would not have been possible without the guidance of some of the most important doctors in the country, such as Professor Dr. Marisa Marques (Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon), with whom she has been working for 14 years.

At the end of 2017, she was invited by the esteemed Hospital da Luz group to create a Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Department to provide post-surgical care to patients, whether in the context of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery or in the context of General Surgery or Vascular Surgery.

In 2018, she decided to take another step in her evolution and created a company specializing in the provision of medical-aesthetic services, operating in the greater Porto area. She is therefore associated with Hospital da Luz Clinica do Porto, Hospital da Luz Arrábida, Clinica Saudarte in Aviz, and Studio Wellness of Prof. Sara Garrido in Matosinhos.

But during 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, she decided to bring together in the same space the entire multidisciplinary team with whom she has worked for years and in whom she trusts all her patients, and that is how she decided to create the Uffizi Clinic.

It was also in 2020 that she decided to further specialize in the mesotherapy technique, completing a Master's degree in Mesotherapy from the Portuguese Academy of Aesthetics.

But her journey isn't limited to Aesthetic Medicine; she has another great passion – Travel and Gastronomy. She is the co-author of the Flavors & Senses blog, which annually organizes the Gastronomy Awards of Porto and Northern Portugal, where she has already published around 150 articles about travel and hotels.
