Acupuncture Helps!
Often, the reactions of clients say enough; they experience something happening immediately after the first needle(s) are placed. Some feel their pain decrease, experience more peace in their mind, stress disappears, and they feel the energy flowing. When a client indicates feeling little, I continue to search. Adding just one needle can make a huge difference. I still find it remarkable that this has such a direct effect.
Of course, I also notice that acupuncture helps because people eagerly return for follow-up treatments or refer other people to me. With some clients, I now treat the entire family or circle of friends!

Also Effective for Chronic Migraine
A good example is the case of a 44-year-old woman who had suffered from chronic migraines since she was thirteen. She saw spots in front of her eyes daily and sometimes was completely incapacitated for 2 to 3 days a week. In addition, a huge energy deficiency meant she had to take a nap almost every day. After just six treatments and by adjusting her diet, this woman is now symptom-free! She has much more energy and has also lost a few kilos.
Unfortunately, several months after these treatments, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo surgery and chemotherapy. During that process, I supported her with acupuncture, which she benefited greatly from. Fortunately, she is now 'clean' and no longer suffers from unpleasant side effects. Based on my experience with this client, I decided to enroll in the oncology course offered by the NVA. It is a huge boost to be able to help someone with these kinds of issues. This is what we all do in our profession.

One Needle Can Make a Difference
The most beautiful experience? How one needle can make a difference for a client. A good example is a 36-year-old woman who came to see me because she had been suffering from chronic nausea and gagging for months. She had lost a lot of weight and was weakened because she could only eat small bites and drink very little. Her hay fever and psoriasis symptoms were also worse than usual. The doctor could not find a physical cause, and for the woman, it was clear that the symptoms were mainly mental. She preferred acupuncture over talking to a psychologist, and we started the treatment very cautiously with just one needle. This single needle elicited a strong response, both physically and mentally. The woman said it felt like her stomach was 'free' again, the nausea disappeared, and she no longer felt a stone in her stomach. So remarkable!
Eventually, after a few treatments, the symptoms stayed away, allowing her to eat and function normally again. The psoriasis and hay fever symptoms decreased, and mentally, the woman also improved, enabling her to take new steps in her work and personal life.
