Angela, originally from Canada, has been living in the Netherlands for the past 10 years, happily married to her Dutch husband.
She brings a wealth of clinical experience, beginning in 1997 in Canada as a Canadian registered massage therapist. Her practice has encompassed treating a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, scoliosis, sciatica, neck, back, and shoulder issues, pregnancy-related muscular complaints, post-partum massage, sports injuries, stress & occupational related conditions.
Angela's passion for travel has taken her across the globe throughout the years on journeys & adventure, attending special workshop trainings, spiritual quests, and service. Along the way, she discovered acupuncture and was amazed with the healing benefits. Her deep interest led her to further her studies in acupuncture.
Angela is a licensed acupuncturist where she completed an intensive four-year program in Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture at the Dutch Acupuncture Academy in Amsterdam.
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.

Angela's background also includes being a Reiki and meditation practitioner, originally trained over 30 years ago, and continues to integrate these practices into her daily self-care. She is also a certified sound therapist with over 18 years of experience working with individuals & groups tapping into the mind, body, emotional & spiritual levels for optimal wellbeing. She has had the pleasure of exploring sound as energy medicine in North America and has trained with several renowned world class sound healers including Tom Kenyon and Shanti Shivani. Their teachings have deeply inspired her and enhanced her ability to provide intuitive, skilled, and client-centered care. Angela's special interest is in offering individual signature sound sessions influenced by Shamanism, Taoism & Nada Yoga practices.
I understand that every client is unique and will listen well to personalize each treatment to meet individual needs.
