I have not always been an acupuncturist and energy worker. I used to be a Cultural Social Worker,
also known as a Bachelor of Social Work or Cultural Social Entrepreneur. There, I supervised and
connected volunteers and organizations, set up neighborhood rooms to promote social cohesion and
independence. And thus fulfilled a pivotal role between society and legislation and regulations.
Before I ended up in the world of Social Work, I worked with Reiki, psychometrics and passed on
messages from the deceased, the so-called energetic or esoteric work. Something that is even more
incomprehensible to most people than the Qi (energy) that Chinese medicine is talking about. At one
point I wanted more hands in the earth and feet on the ground, something that was scientifically
substantiated and still connected close to me. Open and honest, sensitive and subtle, practical and
decisive, technical and in-depth, unbiased and leading.
Admittedly, I also found Kung Fu in my youth with what those old men with long gray goatees,
needles and weird looking posions did to patch up fighters after a match (such as my hero Bruce Lee),
very interesting.
In 2009, in addition to my Social Work job, I went to study integration medicine at the
Hwa To International University of TCM. An evidence-based study combination of Western and
Chinese medicine.
A study where people as a whole are seen and approached, where not only the complaint but also
the person is treated with substantiated theory and a lot of internship taught by teachers who have
been in the profession for more than 30 years. And that was just the beginning of my passion for
the profession that I practice fulltime to this day.
No acupuncture needles in your pocket is like a heart without a heartbeat. For deepening and
in-service training, I regularly travel to Taiwan, among other places, after which I implement the
acquired knowledge in my practice in Leiden.
Because I am an acupuncturist affiliated with the professional association Zhong and my treatments
are (partly) reimbursed by most health insurers, I am obliged to have qualitative and substantive (CPION)
refresher courses for both Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Personally, I find that absolutely
no punishment 🙂
With all my acquired knowledge, life experience and thorough training, I can act as a pivotal
function between body and mind for you and balance it with acupuncture and energy work.
Body and mind with all its facets are in my opinion one. Being one is the new well-being.
Below is an overview of education and further training that I have done.
