Burnout & Stress Management, for Adults

Acupuncture can gently reset an overtaxed nervous system. Using trauma-sensitive techniques, I support vagal tone, heart rate variability, and overall autonomic regulation, the foundation of physical and emotional health.

Key benefits:

• Reduce chronic stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

• Improve vagal tone for better emotional regulation

• Support healthy blood pressure and circulation

• Enhance sleep quality and recovery

• Prevent and reverse signs of burnout

Pediatric Acupuncture

Children respond quickly and beautifully to acupuncture, often with minimal or no needles. Pediatric acupuncture uses gentle stimulation to support healthy development, calm the nervous system, and improve immunity and digestion.

Treatments support:

• Sleep and behavioral issues

• Digestive discomfort and constipation

• Allergies, asthma, immune balance

• Anxiety or sensory sensitivity

• Pain or tension from growth and sports

Benefits:

• Natural symptom relief

• Enhanced emotional regulation

• Improved immune and digestive health

• Greater overall wellbeing

What ties this together: a trauma-sensitive approach

Whether you're an adult in survival mode or a parent bringing in a child, I work at your pace. Nothing happens without clear consent, I explain before I do, and treatment is adapted to what your (or your child's) nervous system needs that day rather than a fixed protocol. I don't replace mental health care or a pediatrician; I'm glad to coordinate alongside your other providers when that's useful to you.

How it works (adults)

We'll schedule an initial consult to discuss your current habits and concerns, and you'll get your first treatment at that visit. From there, we'll discuss which treatment modalities may best support your specific goals: extended sessions (75-85 minutes), regular sessions (45-55 minutes), or mini auricular sessions (20-25 minutes).

Treatment modalities may include:

• Auriculotherapy

• Body acupuncture

• Dolphin Neurostim MPT

• EmWave2 biofeedback

• Guided meditation

• HeartMath coaching

• Massage techniques

• Moxibustion

• Orthomolecular support

What to expect (children)

First, book a regular intake session. I'll discuss your child's health in detail with you (and with your child, if appropriate), and we'll come up with a treatment plan together.

Follow-up sessions will most likely be shorter Mini Sessions of 15-25 minutes. If more time is needed, we'll switch to Standard Sessions of 45-55 minutes.

Treatments may include non-needle techniques such as acupressure, moxa, cupping, shonishin (Japanese pediatric massage tools), or micro-current stimulation. Treatments are short, gentle, and often playful, and I never push past a child's comfort.

Where and how

Sessions take place at Puur Geboortecentrum in Hoofddorp. I also offer home visits in Hoofddorp and the immediate area. Appointments are in English, Spanish, or Dutch.
