Mariana Marques – Aveiro, Portugal

My name is Mariana Marques, I am a physiotherapist and I live in Aveiro. I work with postural reprogramming, especially in children and young people and, therefore, I believe in muscle work and the benefits of good posture. As wrong breathing is one of the main causes of postural changes, in patients with oral breathing, most of the time, the posture is not corrected because the wrong habits remain after the sessions. With the Buteyko method I learned to diagnose and intervene globally in these patients, thus ensuring success.

-Work on posture re-education through active exercise, body awareness, correct breathing pattern and changes in habits

– Degree in Osteopathy by the School of Osteopathy in Madrid

Eric Gonçalves – São Pedro do Estoril & Portimão, Portugal

I discovered the world of therapies in 2004, with a Tui Na chinese massage course, and quickly realized that I had found my purpose in life – to help people improve their health and quality of life.

Since that moment of clarity, my focus on the mission has been absolute – I have been travelling the world, in an avid quest for a deeper understanding of the fascinating human body. I studied for a long time in the United States, Thailand, Nepal, India, and throughout Western and Eastern Europe. I have had the privilege to study with great masters, and to drink directly from their source of wisdom.

I work with massage therapy, postural therapy, functional rehabilitation and breathwork. The main focus of my practice is to educate clients with self-care tools that empower them to heal their bodies.

In my 15 years of practice, I´ve found that most people have dysfunctional breathing patterns, which are hindering their journey towards good health.

I´m dedicated to sharing the wisdom of Buteyko Breathing with anyone suffering from chronic pain, asthma, anxiety, sinusitis, rhinitis, chronic fatigue, insomnia, snoring, sleep apnea, and all kinds of feelings of breathlessness.

My main studio is in São Pedro do Estoril, a beautiful and quiet town by the ocean, just 30 min from Lisbon. I have a second studio in Portimão, Algarve. I also offer online sessions and mentoring.

Rita Lourenço – Setúbal

I am Rita Lourenço and a Dentist with an interest and practice in Holistic Dentistry.

I live in Portugal, in the city of Setúbal between the mountain and the river.

• Master of Dental Medicine
• Expert Title in Orthodontics – Salamanca University (Spain)
• Member of IAOMT (International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology)
• Certified in Safe Removal of Amalgam according to the SMART Protocol
• Post graduate in Medical Ozone Therapy – Lusófona University (Lisbon)

I believe that breathing is the basis for correct facial and dental development. We can have straighter teeth if we work on our breathing. By combining orthodontics with the breathing exercises of the Buteyko Method, a faster correction and better results are possible.

Natural Smile is my Integrative Clinic in Setúbal. I believe that we have to see the human being in an individualized way. Each person who visits us is unique and deserves our best care and attention. We treat children and adults who are interested in improving their health and quality of life.
