My story

practice for acupuncture, shiatsu and chinese massage

In 1991 I suffered a whiplash. Various treatments did not succeed in curing it. The specialist said I would just have to learn to live with it.. That’s what I did. I completed my HEAO (higher economic and administrative studies), took a good job and had two children, but was in almost continuous pain. In 2000, I looked for help again and started treatment with an acupuncturist. After four months I was completely cured.

For nine years I suffered daily pain until I discovered that a method had existed for thousands of years that could relieve my pain. Acupuncture should be much better known, I thought. Many people could benefit from it. That’s how I started learning about Chinese medicine. The more I read, the more enthusiastic I became. What possibilities!

In 2002, I decided to follow a 4 year HBO (Higher Professional Training) course in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2003 I studied Chinese massage. In 2005 I followed a course in ear acupuncture and in 2006 an HBO course in Western Medicine. In 2009 I finished my shiatsu-massage study. I am also certified a cosmetic acupuncturist and followed the course Chi Nei Tsang - taoistic visceral massage. In 2009 and 2010 I studied science of nutrition according to Chinese Medicine and in 2010 the course TSEA electro acupuncture.
