Frequently asked questions
Here are the most common questions. If yours isn't on the list, get in touch.

Where does Dr. Katia see patients?
In person at offices in São Paulo and Santos, Brazil, and via telehealth for patients anywhere in Brazil and around the world.
Do you accept health insurance?
No. Appointments are private pay. On request, a receipt is issued so you can request reimbursement from your health plan, according to its rules.
How much does an appointment cost?
The fee is shown on the How the appointment works page and is also confirmed when you book.
How does telehealth work?
After booking, you receive a link to the appointment platform. All you need is a phone or computer with a camera and a good connection, in a private place.
Does Ayurveda replace medical treatment?
No. Ayurveda is used as a complementary approach that adds to medical care. Diagnoses, tests and recommended treatments continue to follow the standards of conventional medicine.
Should I bring test results to the first appointment?
If you have recent test results, prescriptions or reports, they are very helpful. If not, that's fine: the need for new tests is assessed during the appointment.
Can I send health information through the website form?
Please don't. The form is only for contact and booking. Health information is discussed during the appointment, with the confidentiality that medical care requires.
Shall we talk about your care?
Book an in-person appointment in São Paulo or Santos, or a telehealth appointment from wherever you are.
