RIAD Balans

My choice for the study of acupuncture.

My name is Claudia de Smit. Since 1993 I have worked as a pharmacist. I have sold many painkillers and creams over the years. Through the experiences I have gained in this field, I discovered that certain complaints that patients present to the Western medical world cannot be treated sufficiently or not at all. I wanted to achieve better results, I wanted it to be different. After five years of study at the Qing Bai training institute, and a year at Conamore, I obtained my diploma in acupuncture and Western basic medical knowledge in 2019. I chose this profession to truly make a difference.

In the absence of a clearly identifiable and treatable cause of illness, therapies in conventional care are mainly focused on combating symptoms but do not specifically address the foundations on which our health is based. This led me to Traditional Chinese Medicine, an integrative healing method that emphasizes the whole person. It is a holistic approach that seeks the origin of complaints in relation to the individual.
