"One of the best bee-venom therapists I have ever met. He blends methods to get the best results — cupping, micro-stings, live bee stings, reflexology. He is also an excellent teacher: he does not just talk, he practises and keeps a strong bond with the group."
Peter HeinrichMember of the Apitherapie-Bund DAB · Germany

"After the training with António I began combining micro-api-puncture with live stings — and I get faster, longer-lasting results. I recommend the session both to beginners and to those already working in the field."
