About me

Since 2011, I have been offering a combination of Chinese & Japanese acupuncture, diet & lifestyle advice, breathing exercises, herbs & moxa with great pleasure. Personal attention is very important in my clinic.

Chinese medicine is fascinating and still surprises me in its effectiveness. The gentle treatments offer a world of opportunities in health care.
I went to an acupuncturist for my hay fever complaints in 2002. Those treamtents were extremely helpfull and I was amazed by the effects. I decided then to start studying for this beautiful profession myself.

I have been specially trained in gynecological complaints by the best teachers in the Netherlands and Europe.
I continue to develop myself by studying literature and following several training courses every year.

I have been able to help over a 1000 women in their cycle- and fertility issues and during their pregnancy.
I also treat a lot of clients with hay fever and insomnia, and I love working with children & babies too.

Experience

I have been working with great pleasure for over 12 years supporting women and children in a recovery and healing process in my practice in Amsterdam East.
I find the relationship between body and mind and the balance between yin and yang an intriguing concept to work with.

I have followed dozens of courses to expand my knowledge of TCM. I have learned from world-renowned teachers as Giovanni Maciocia, Dr. Hamid Montekab, Dr. Stephen Birch, Marijke Pfeiffer, Martine Cornelissen and many others.

There are several sources on internet which provide information about scientific and clinical researches done about the effectiveness of acupuncture. I consult and study those resources regularly. Examples of summaries of research results can be found here.

I am a member of the Zhong professional association.

Education

My training started at the TCM Academy with a Western Medical year and I then completed my acupuncture training with honors. During my training I did an internship in Beijing, at the International Acupuncture Training Center.

In addition, I continue to train myself regularly with the best acupuncturists known at home and abroad (including Giovanni Maciocia, Julian Scott, Yair Maimon, Hamid Motakab, Dianne Sommers, Marijke Pfeiffer and Yan Schroen).

I am a member of the Zhong professional association.

Specializations

I specialize in the treatment of complaints surrounding fertility, menstruation and pregnancy.
I also work a lot with hay fever and other allergies and sleep disorders.
After my training, I also trained in Japanese pediatric acupuncture. No needles are needed to treat small children!
I have followed many further training courses for all these specializations and you have come to the right place for acupuncture, moxa and advice on nutrition, supplements and lifestyle.
