My practice for acupuncture, haptotherapy and counselling is located at the Edisonstraat in The Hague.
After being trained and working for some time as a physiotherapist, I felt a need to approach one’s well-being from a broader, more holistic perspective. So I further studied haptotherapy, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, enhancing my knowledge, insight and capabilities.
In 2005, I received my master degree in Neuro Linguistic Progamming (N.L.P) and added counseling to the services my practice offers.

The goal of my practice is to help people solve physical or mental problems by focusing on gaining a better insight into the origin of their (health-) problems, self-reflection and how to use their own abilities to overcome obstacles to solve these problems. The counselling aspect is central to this goal.

My practice has been treating patients successfully for more than 20 years now. If you like to be helped in a small-scale practice which focuses on personal attention, you are very welcome!
Next to individual counseling, in recent years I have also given a number of workshops on this approach to health problems!
