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 experience, beginning in 1997 in Canada as a Canadian registered massage therapist. Her practice has encompassed treating a wide range of clients & conditions, including chronic pain, scoliosis, sciatica, neck, upper & low back, shoulder issues, pregnancy-related muscular complaints, post-partum recovery, stress & occupational related conditions, sports injuries for professional athletes & runners, cyclists at all levels.
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 results and effectiveness. 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.
I work with many health issues in acupuncture and have special interest with stress, emotional/nervous system balancing, chronic pain & diverse body pain issues, arthritic joint pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue/burnout, sleep problems, digestive issues, immune boost & wellbeing, women's health including menopause.
Angela's background also includes being a Reiki & meditation practitioner (30 years), an experienced sound therapist (17 years), 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 the one who has inspired her the most, Tom Kenyon. His special talent & teaching enhanced her ability to provide intuitive, skilled, client centered & science informed care.
I understand that every client is unique and will listen well to personalize each treatment to meet individual needs.
I look forward in providing supportive treatments to help you feel your best.
