Acupuncture
What is needle-free acupuncture?
Acupuncture doesn’t have to involve needles.
I work completely needle-free, using gentle Japanese acupuncture tools to stimulate the skin and acupuncture points without inserting anything into the body.
The treatment is based on the principles and approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I use the same diagnostic and treatment principles as in traditional acupuncture, working with the body’s meridians and acupuncture points, simply using a different way of stimulating them.
This can be a beautiful option if you are sensitive to needles, prefer a non-invasive approach, or simply feel more comfortable with something gentle.
Rather than applying one fixed method, I adapt the treatment to your body and what you are experiencing.
What can we work with?
People come to acupuncture for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a physical symptom that needs attention. Sometimes life has become overwhelming, energy is low, or the body simply doesn't feel quite like itself.
Body
Pain and tension · digestion · sleep · hormonal health · energy
Mind & nervous system
Stress · overwhelm · anxiety · difficulty settling · feeling constantly “on”
Times of change
Fertility · pregnancy · recovery · transitions · feeling depleted or out of balance
Rather than looking at a symptom in isolation, I look at you as a whole and explore what may be contributing to what you are experiencing.
Acupuncture for children
For babies, children and teenagers, I use Shonishin, a gentle Japanese form of needle-free acupuncture specially adapted for young bodies.
Babies may come for support with sleep, colic, digestive difficulties, frequent colds or ear infections. Older children and teenagers may seek support around anxiety, ADHD, concentration, regulation, sleep and periods of change.
Every child is different, and treatment is always adapted to their age, temperament and needs.
How I work & what to expect
We begin by talking and taking a moment to arrive. I listen to what is happening in your body and in your life, and together we explore what kind of support you need.
The treatment is always gentle and completely needle-free, using Japanese acupuncture tools to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians. I adapt the treatment to you and what your body is showing me.
You don't need to know anything about acupuncture or do anything in particular. You can simply settle in, notice what you experience, and ask questions along the way.
Sessions take place in Amsterdam and are can be given in English, Dutch or German.
