Esther Martínez García
I am a pediatrician trained at the Hospital Vall d’Hebron, I hold a master's degree in acupuncture awarded by the University of Barcelona and I am a specialist in Japanese acupuncture awarded by Harvard Medical School. I was a pioneer in Spain in the development of pediatric acupuncture as a safe and painless complementary medical procedure. I am passionate about teaching my specialisation, pediatric acupuncture, and I lecture on two master's courses at the University of Barcelona. I also hold courses and conferences around the world. In recent years I have trained as an expert in oncological nutrition and am head of the Integrative Pediatric Oncology Unit (UOPI) of SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital, which is the project of my life.
My passions, pediatrics and integrative oncology, have given me the opportunity to offer my patients treatment from different approaches, which is serious, rigorous and in step with their conventional treatment plan, with the aim of improving their physical-emotional wellbeing and their quality of life. I am thankful to life, to the great teachers that have helped me along the way, my patients and my five children.
