HEART’S COMPASS

Matters of the heart rarely resolve through logic alone. Heart's Compass is a session where acupuncture meets attentive conversation. A space to find clarity around a relationship, a doubt, or a choice that calls for your own inner wisdom. Rooted in the TCM view that emotional and physical balance are inseparable, we work to calm the nervous system and open room for what you already know to surface. After the session you’ll receive a Chinese herbal formula to take home, composed to keep your heart and mind in balance.

What to expect?

• 1.The first appointment starts with a consultation followed up with acupuncture. We will adress your main health complaint, food habits and lifestyle. The consultation has a one-off cost. If you have the 'aanvullende verzekering voor alternatieve geneeswijze' you could get part of the invoice reimbursed.
• 2.Tongue and pulse diagnosis. This is a classic method in Traditional Chinese Medicine to measure imbalance. It's very different from the Western method. Could be interesting to hear from the Chinese point of view.
• 3.Selecting acupuncture points. Each point has multiple therapeutic or local effects that restore balance of body and mind.
• 4.Fine (sterile disposable) needles are inserted in the body. If needed, moxa-therapy will be applied in combination with acupuncture. Moxa is a traditional herbal application made of dried compressed mugwort. It is widely used in TCM and well known for its' healing purposes. In modern times usage of a moxa lamp is more common. Because the lamp radiates warmth it's a very relaxing experience.
• 5.Relax time.
