My five-element acupuncture practice is in Alkmaar and Schoorl in the northwestern part of Holland. I am originally from the U.S. but have lived in the Netherlands since 1997. My early experiences with acupuncture were in the martial arts in the 1980’s. I earned my classical five-element acupuncture qualification at the College of Five Element Acupuncture in Dublin. Practitioners in the Netherlands are now required to finish a year of Western medicine which I completed in 2018. Outside of work and family I enjoy surfing, motorcycle riding and Tai Chi Chuan.

Classical five-element acupuncture helps us to move, thrive and heal. People become a part of my practice for various reasons. Some have a serious condition and wish to supplement their regular treatment. Others are performers who need to be in tune with their body and their whole being for their work. Some come with chronic and/or vague conditions which have slipped through the regular system unresolved. Others simply want to feel better in themselves and realize their best potential in their life and relationships. All are welcome.
