Hip and back problems

After having gone from physio to physio, I finally found Irmgard.
I hoped she could help me.
During our first conversation, Irmgard explained very clearly what she was going to do.
I immediately felt at home with Irmgard.
After 2 treatments I could already feel improvement.
And thanks to her, after 8 treatments, I finally got rid of that STUBBORN pain.
My insomnia problem has also been improved by acupuncture in the ear.
I sleep much better and all through the night.
My quality of life has improved… I’m extremely grateful for this.
Irmgard is a knowledgeable, friendly woman who really listens to you.
I’m glad I went to Irmgard and recommend her to everyone.
THANKS Irmgard for all the good care.
Best regards

Caesarean section, painful scar

I called Irmgard to ask if she also treats caesarean section scars.
I experienced abdominal pain and pain from the scar itself. She can treat this well! I’ve been four times. During the sessions, she asks questions and explains what she is going to do and why. I really like that. After the first time I noticed more ease and after four treatments my belly felt supple and better in balance again.
We have completed the treatment though I continue to use the moxa stick at home and if discomfort occurs, I raise the alarm.
So, she doesn’t continue treatment for an unnecessarily long time, but really looks at what is needed at that moment. I like that.
Kind regards

Anxiety, stress, sleep problems

I came across Irmgard by surfing the web.
Irmgard is a fantastic professional with whom I immediately felt at ease.
She takes her time and gives good explanations during the treatment.
Irmgard also put me in touch with an intestinal flora therapist.
I am so grateful to her for that!
After several treatments with Irmgard and under treatment with a gut flora therapist, I am now on an upward trend.
I’m not there yet, but I’m on the right track.
That’s how beautiful collaboration can be.
Thank you Irmgard!

Concussion and whiplash

More than a year ago, the ladder slipped out from under me. A year later I was still suffering from the concussion and whiplash.
The physiotherapist said: it’s neurological, there’s nothing more I can do for you. The neurologist said: the MRI is good, I can’t help you.
Fortunately, I found Irmgard through another acupuncturist.
I had a wonderful experience on Irmgard’s acupuncturist table: for pain in the neck, back and shoulders and concentration problems. I was given acupuncture on my feet, legs and arms. Sometimes there was such a clear difference that I had a ‘wow, this feels so good’ feeling and a few hours later I was very tired due to the release of negative and excess energy.
Irmgard is highly recommended if you suffer from whiplash.
Good luck with your work, I hope you make many more people better.
Kind regards, J.S..

Arthrosis

For me, acupuncture was an entirely new experience, I had never done before. I came with arthrosis in my hand and had been wearing a handbrace for almost a year. In my profession, as a medical nurse, this caused a lot of discomfort. Irmgard went to work with it and it was miraculous. After two treatments and some good tips I can state that I’ve had no pain or discomfort for almost two weeks and the most important thing: I don’t wear my brace anymore. Irmgard is very competent, takes a good time for the intake and is seriously invested in treating your complaint. Her practice is highly recommend.

Lack of energy, restlessness, nutrition

The treatments that Irmgard gave me were my first acupuncture experiences. I felt directly at ease and the treatments were satisfying. Amongst other things, Irmgard helped me to reach a state of calm and my energy level has improved. Besides the treatment, she gave me practical advice about food. I incorporated this advice into my routine and it made me feel much better.

Sleep problems 1

After going through an emotional and very difficult time in my life, I kept suffering from insomnia. I woke up almost every night between 3 and 4 o’clock and usually remained awake for a long time. I visited Irmgard’s practice for acupuncture three times and can finally sleep through the night! Because of this, I’ve noticed that I have made progress in dealing with the issues which caused the insomnia and I feel much more at ease. Thank you Irmgard, for your expertise and personal approach.

Sleep problems 2

I contacted Irmgard because of sleeplessness. I reacted well to acupuncture, but after a few times the treatment didn’t quite take affect. We were both disappointed, but Irmgard kept on looking for ways to help me. Then she tried aural acupuncture and eureka! The periods that I am able to sleep are increasingly longer. In other words: I sleep much better.

Inflammation of the tendons, fatigue, back complaints, mood swings

I came to Irmgard hoping she could help me with the inflammation of the tendon in my right upper arm. I wasn’t able to use it due to the pain. After a preliminary consult, some more complaints were uncovered where acupuncture could also be helpful. I felt a good connection with Irmgard so I decided to be treated. At first she treated my arm, the treatments of the other complaints would follow. After a few days the pain was, to my surprise and joy, substantially less and I was painfree after a second treatment. Then I got treatment for my other complaints like; lack of energie, lower back complaints and mood swings. Irmgard is a professional, gives a clear explanation and is passionate about her profession. Furthermore, she is a nice person that radiates faith. After 6 treatments I barely had any complaints. I had more energy, I wasn’t so tired anymore, I slept better and my mood swings and back complaints were gone. I will certainly occasionally come back to Irmgard for a “maintenance-treatment”. Irmgard, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your good care.

Abdomen complaints

I came to Irmgard with complaints of a bloated and painful abdomen. Irmgard explained in a very clear, calm and competent way what she would do. I had no previous experience with acupuncture and was very surprised by the feeling of complete relaxation I experienced immediately after the very first treatment. Furthermore, my bloated and painful abdomen improved after each session. And after adapting my diet (with help from a nutritionist) and taking probiotics, my complaints disappeared.

Shortness of breath, trigeminal neuralgia

I went to Irmgard because I was suffering from shortness of breath and for trigeminal neuralgia due to trauma. The consultations at Irmgard’s pratice were my first experience with acupuncture. After having tried many things in the past, to gain insight into my (painful) complaints (and of course, to get rid of them), I really didn’t know what to do next. The acupuncture method Irmgard chose for me (I didn’t know, there were different methods …) gave me huge relief. Another fine aspect is that Irmgard was able to give me good advice about how to move on from here… Besides this, I enjoyed the contact with Irmgard. She is serious about her work, does everything while communicating with me, is open about her decisions, is focused on me as an individual, is empathic, social and this gives you a feeling of security and trust.

Chronic pelvic complaints, scars, abdominal surgery

I came to see Irmgard with chronic pelvic complaints due to scar tissue caused by many abdominal surgeries.

The way Irmgard works appeals to me.She is quiet and decent, takes time to investigate your complaints. She is very professional. This approach helps you understand your complaints and gives insight to the way in which acupuncture works in the process.

I noticed that I could totally relax in the treatment. My experience was that when the needles were inserted everything flowed through, as if it had been blocked before. After treatment I often felt the effects in a good way. I decided not to make any appointments immediately after the treatment in order to give everything time to settle down.

My chronic complaint decreased after 6 sessions and I can handle it better because I’m more balancednow. Thank you, Irmgard!

Bursitis

I had a bursitis in my shoulder. Out of desperation, I went to an acupuncturist without any expectations, because other treatment methods hadn’t hadn’t helped in the 2,5 years that I had this complaint. Miraculously, de bursitis disappeared in 7 treatments. Irmgard, I thank you so much and sincerely recommend you.

Menopausal symptoms 1

I sought Irmgard out because of menopausal symptoms. After just a few treatments I felt much better: more energetic and lighter.
She takes the time to listen and then look for the right treatment. A lifesaver.
Irmgard is a knowledgeable and nice person!

The menopause 2 – hot flashes, sleep-related problems, general unease, tightness in the chest

I was suffering from hot flushes especially at night. Because of this I slept very badly and as a result I felt tired during the day, the consequences of which are predictable. After a few sessions I was able to sleep through the night. The hot flashes during the day and night have more or less disappeared. It has been a couple of months since my last treatment. Now I feel warm at around 5 a.m. and that lasts till around 8 a.m. These are not comparable to the hot flashes I suffered from before my treatment. I think that it’s time to return for one last treatment to overcome this last hurdle.

I also felt rushed and uneasy. This completely disappeared straight after the first treatment. At the moment I am very busy and feel very agitated. I will go back for another session to help me with this.

I felt pressure on my chest and which quickly became stifling. This feeling disappeared after a few sessions and has not returned since the last treatment a few months ago.

I am very satisfied with the results of the treatments and the way in which you approach people, the comprehensive consultation, the explanation of the treatment and how you take your time with people.

Lower back complaints, restlessness, lack of energy

Irmgard really knows her craft.
First, she asks very specific questions.
In doing so she is able to determine the correct diagnosis.
Irmgard alleviated my lower back complaints by using cupping amongst other methods.
The “ battery” should also be charged regularly.
Needles are used in this treatment. After that I feel calmer and more energized.
I wholeheartedly recommend Irmgard.

Chronic cystitis (inflammation of bladder

More than two and a half years ago I suffered a renal infection, followed a few months later by a cystitis. I checked the condition of my bladder weekly with urine sticks, which did not make me happy. Finding leukocyte or blood in my urine and healthy eating was demotivating. Hospital check-ups did not give me any answers and according to the doctors I completely emptied my bladder when I urinated. However, I still got the feeling that this was not the case. As though there was a kind of swan neck pipe fitted to end of my bladder. If I stayed on the toilet for a while longer, I was able to pass quite a lot more urine. After various antibiotic cures I found Irmgard and she told me that she would give me some “acupuncture braces”. To my great surprise, that night I didn’t have to urinate again after going to the toilet and this was so for the rest of the week but returned a little after two weeks. Irmgard gave me the “braces” again and I am happy to report that my urine has been clean for the last few months.

Pain around the midriff

I came to Irmgard because of a painful feeling around my midriff. What I particularly remember about the first consultation was how well Irmgard listens to you. Irmgard treated me based on the conclusions she had made. After the first treatment, the pain had lessened significantly. After 4 treatments the pain had more or less disappeared.

Stomach complaints, bowel complaints and nausea a year after surgery

I contacted Irmgard with regard to stomach and bowel complaints (due to a serious operation) and as a result of which I was also not mentally in balance.
I’ve had 5 treatments and my complaints are much better, nausea after eating is virtually nil, my bowels are calmer. Because of these improvements I also feel in balance again.
Irmgard is very much aware of where she is placing the needles and the effect she wants to have. All decisions are made together with Irmgard. You can tell her which problem is foremost and she also thinks with you not only with regard to the treatment but also other areas. In my case, for instance, she helped me with my diet. This, in itself, is wonderful that someone tries to think up solutions to your physical problems.
In short, it was a good decision to visit Irmgard.

Chronic nerve pain

After I could no longer be treated for severe nerve pain by regular medicine (in addition to pain relief) I ended up at Irmgard for acupuncture treatments. I had no experience with acupuncture and to be honest, I was a bit skeptical. Still, it turned out to be a very pleasant experience; I was immediately put at ease by Irmgard’s openness, calm appearance and genuine interest. It took a while to find what worked well, but she kept pushing to find a solution. Thanks to her treatments, I am almost rid of the pain, which feels almost unbelievable because the surgery gave me the prospect of a life with pain. We are now a few months further along and the pain remains for the most part gone, which has improved my quality of life enormously. I can’t thank Irmgard enough for her help!
Kind regards,

Morning sickness

Irmgard is a very knowledgeable acupuncturist, who takes the time for you, listens carefully and asks good questions and involves you in the decision-making regarding the treatment. She has a professional attitude and you notice that she also continues to immerse herself in her profession by reading professional literature. What I also like is that she radiates pleasure in her work.
