About YOUR PRACTITIONER

 

 

Angela, originally from Canada, now resides in the Netherlands for the past 10 years, where she is happily married to her Dutch husband.

 

She brings a wealth of clinical experience, beginning in 1997 as a Canadian registered massage therapist. Her  practice has encompassed treating a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, neck, back, and shoulder issues, pregnancy-related muscular complaints, post-partum massage, sports injuries, stress & occupational related conditions.

 

In addition, Angela offers holistic therapies into her practice, focusing on the mind-body-spirit connection to support stress management and overall well-being. With more than 17 years of experience in complementary and alternative health, her field of expertise includes Japanese subtle energy work known as Reiki and sound healing therapy.  She had the honor to receive advanced training from several highly respected sound healers in the world including Tom Kenyon (psychotherapist, shaman), Shanti Shivani (nada voice yoga) Fabien Maman & Chloe Goodchild enriching her ability to offer tailored, skilled & intuitive client focused care. Angela's special interest is in  providing individual sound therapy sessions & sacred healing ceremonies with a small group of people.

 

Angela's passion for travel has taken her across the globe on journeys & adventure, attending workshop trainings, spiritual quests, and service. Along the way, she has shared her skills in massage therapy, sound healing therapy, and Reiki—volunteering her time to support underprivileged communities to women in India & Guatemala, offering relief for neck and back pain as well as emotional trauma.  This is where she first discovered acupuncture and was amazed with the healing benefits. Her deep interest led her to further her studies in acupuncture.

 

Angela is a graduate of the Dutch Acupuncture Academy in Amsterdam, where she completed an intensive four-year program in Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture.

 

In addition, she has completed a one-year postgraduate training program in Toyohari Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion, and has deepened her expertise through intensive workshops in Japan under the guidance of leading Japanese masters. This gentle form of acupuncture emphasizes light touch, minimal needle insertion, the use of non-inserting tools of various types of metals (copper, silver, gold), and traditional Japanese moxibustion techniques. Its effective approach makes it particularly appealing to individuals who are highly sensitive, interested in an alternative style of acupuncture  or apprehensive about needles.

 

I work with many health issues in acupuncture and have special interest in stress/anxiety emotional related issues, low back pain, diverse pain conditions, chronic pain, chronic fatigue sleep problems, digestive issues,  immune boost, inner beauty & wellbeing, women's health including post-partum recovery,  PMS & menopause. 

 

I understand that every client is unique and will listen well to personalize each treatment to meet individual needs.

 

.I am looking forward in helping you feel your best!
