2. Week van de Acupunctuur

In the spring of 2015, I experienced a burnout due to a combination of factors, including a difficult situation with one of my children. The light went out, I had a lot of hot flashes, and slept poorly. Since I had just turned 50, I thought it might be related to menopause.
With guidance, I started to recover and in the fall of 2015, I reached out to a psychologist for additional support in adjusting my behavior to move forward. I also wanted to address the hot flashes without medication. While searching online, I read that acupuncture could be helpful for menopausal symptoms, and further searching led me to Kirsten's website.

This Works Quickly!
I had a previous experience with acupuncture at a chiropractor's office while being treated for a whiplash. My neck was very stiff, and he suggested using needles. I am terrified of needles, but I decided to try it, and it worked very well.
Under the motto "nothing ventured, nothing gained," I went to Kirsten. After my first treatment, I thought, 'It's so strange that this is working so quickly.' I felt truly different right after. The hot flashes were not gone, but much less intense. So, that first experience was already very positive.
I felt very heard by Kirsten. She took all the time to listen to my story and then could work on it specifically, which was very comforting.

Lost 18 Kilos
Acupuncture helps me maintain my energy balance and keep the restlessness in my mind under control. Even if I come to Kirsten with a different complaint, she addresses it. She also treats my hay fever symptoms in the spring and knee pain that sometimes arises due to wear and tear. During one of the consultations, I mentioned that I wanted to lose weight, and Kirsten asked more about it, including my sweet cravings. I confirmed that I had a strong sweet tooth, and then she mentioned the option of reducing that craving with needles in my ears. Along with a diet and exercise plan, I lost 18 kilos in a year. You do the weight loss yourself by changing your eating habits, but the needles help because I didn't have those sweet cravings.

Pins and Needles
In the end, you have to want to make a change yourself, but acupuncture greatly assists with that. The great thing about Kirsten is that I can simply text her if things aren't going well. Usually, I can get an appointment quickly, even though she has a full practice. There's no pressure; you choose if and when you want an appointment.
What I gain from it is so much more valuable to me than that prick in my skin. Because that's all it is. They are pins and needles, and you don't even see them because you're lying on a table. It's so worth trying, and it helps with a wide range of complaints. I'm very grateful to have met Kirsten.

I often recommend acupuncture to people with persistent complaints. Just give it a try; Kirsten is honest if it doesn't work after a few treatments. Not taking the step is a missed opportunity. If it doesn't help you, at least you tried.
