INTEGRATIVE CHINESE MEDICINE
Integrative Chinese Medicine combines the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture, herbal therapy and massage, with advances in modern biomedicine. It uses laboratory tests and monitoring technologies to better understand health status and create personalised treatments, uniting tradition and science. The goal is holistic and preventive care that promotes balance, well-being and quality of life.
DR. CATARINA RODRIGUES
A Chinese medicine specialist, Dr Catarina Rodrigues has always been intrigued by psychosomatic illnesses, the reasons why we fall ill, why some people suffer more than others, and whether this is inevitable.
Motivated by personal health issues and those of her loved ones, she found many answers in Chinese medicine. She completed the five-year course in Chinese medicine at the University of Chinese Medicine (UMC), founded by Dr Pedro Choy, and continues her training through various courses, with the aim of constantly expanding her knowledge and enhancing her clinical effectiveness.
In 2019, after training at Yo San University in Los Angeles, she embarked on the adventure of working with acupuncture in cruise ship environments.
She continues to develop her therapeutic work across various areas of Chinese medicine, primarily in the treatment of chronic health conditions, including neurological and musculoskeletal problems, pain, emotional disorders, dermatological issues and fertility support.
MISSION
emerges from the fusion of the words "holos" and "lotus. " "Holos," from Greek, means "whole" or "the whole," reflecting the idea that health is multifaceted, encompassing the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental dimensions.
This approach considers the interplay of these factors in both treatment planning and overall health management. On the other hand, the lotus flower stands out for being the only one capable of blooming in muddy environments, thus symbolizing the ability to blossom with health and beauty even under adverse conditions, facing the challenges posed by internal and external stressors.
This is the mission of the Holotus Clinic:
Help all your patients to “Bloom Health, Cultivate Harmony” in their bodies.
