About Ana Freitas

Ana is a highly skilled Registered Osteopath and therapeutic specialist known for her compassionate, evidence-based approach. Her journey into healthcare was deeply personal; at 16, she underwent surgery for functional scoliosis. It was the osteopathic care and rehabilitation she received during her recovery that transformed her life, sparking a passion for helping others navigate their own paths to physical resilience.

As an Endo-Informed Practitioner, Ana has completed specialized educational programming to better support patients managing endometriosis. She holds a Master of Osteopathy (M.Ost) and has treated over 700 patients, blending her UK medical training with a background in Occupational Therapy studies from Brazil to deliver inclusive, expert care.
