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, slept poorly. Since I had just turned 50, I thought it had to do with menopause.
With guidance, I started to recover and in the fall of 2015, I contacted a psychologist for additional support in adjusting my behavior, to move forward. I also wanted to do something about those hot flashes, but not with medication. Googling, 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 from a chiropractor when I was being treated for whiplash. My neck was very stiff and he advised me to do something with needles. I am terrified of needles, but I went ahead with it and it helped a lot.
Under the guise of "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 really different right after. The hot flashes weren't gone, but much less severe. 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 could then work on it specifically, which was very nice.

Lost 18 kilos
Acupuncture helps me maintain my energy balance and keep the restlessness in my mind under control. But even when I come to Kirsten with another complaint, she treats that as well. She also treats my hay fever symptoms in the spring and knee problems that sometimes arise due to wear and tear. During one of the consultations, it came up that I wanted to lose some weight and Kirsten asked more about it, including my sweet cravings. I confirmed that I had a very strong sweet tooth and then she told me about the possibility 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 those needles help because I didn't have that sweet craving.

Pinpricks
In the end, you have to want to change yourself, but acupuncture helps a lot with that. The great thing about Kirsten is that I can just 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 it brings me is so much more valuable than that prick in my skin. Because that's all it is. They are pinpricks and you don't even see them because you're lying on a table. It's so worth trying and it helps with a lot of different complaints. I'm very happy to have met Kirsten.

I often advise people to try acupuncture if they have complaints they can't get rid of. 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.
