Acupuncture helps!
Often the reactions of clients say enough, they experience something happening immediately after the placement of the first needle(s). Some feel their pain decrease, experience more peace in their mind, stress disappears, and they feel the energy flowing. When a client indicates little to no sensation, I continue to search. Adding just one single 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, as people gladly 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 for chronic migraines
A good example is the case of a 44-year-old woman who has been suffering 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 that she had to take a nap almost every day. After just six treatments and by adjusting her diet, this woman is 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 through acupuncture, which she greatly benefited from. Fortunately, she is 'clean' again and no longer suffers from unpleasant side effects. Based on the experience with this client, I decided to enroll in the oncology course offered by the NVA. It gives a huge boost to be able to help someone with these kinds of complaints. This is what we all do in our profession.

One needle can make the difference
The most beautiful experience? How one needle can make a difference for a client. A good example is that of a 36-year-old woman who made an appointment with 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 complaints were mainly of a mental nature. She preferred acupuncture over talking to a psychologist, and we started the treatment very cautiously with just one needle. This one needle already elicited a strong response, both physically and mentally. The woman said it felt like her stomach was 'free' again, that the nausea disappeared, and that she no longer felt a lump in her stomach. So special!
In the end, after a few treatments, the symptoms stayed away, so she was able to eat and function normally again. The psoriasis and hay fever symptoms decreased, and mentally the woman also improved, allowing her to take new steps in her work and personal life.
