Toyohari

Toyohari is an acupuncture style developed by blind acupuncturists in Japan. It is a subtle and painless way of working on the surface of the skin. Nevertheless, the effect is powerful and very suitable for sensitive people or people with a fear of needles.

Epiphora Method

The Epiphora Method is a method used for unexplained lack of recovery from conditions such as Post Concussion Syndrome, Aura-Migraine, Whiplash Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, long Covid, ME/CFS, restless legs, Psoriatic Arthritis, Sjögren’s Syndrome, and persistent physical symptoms (ALK, formerly MUS). This method helps people to regain more control over their own lives by means of movement and breathing exercises.

Find health in balance at Irmgard Acupunctuur

Find health in balance at Irmgard Acupunctuur

You would like to feel better about yourself – more comfortable in your own skin – and are looking for;

  • more energy
  • less pain
  • better sleep and more relaxation
  • a better hormonal balance
  • fewer physical complaints
  • faster healing and recovery after an injury or accident.

You want to feel healthier so that you have more energy in your daily life.

But sometimes it might feel as though your energy is at a low ebb and cannot flow whether they are due to a painful injury, cramp, surgery, or other stressful life events. Then at other times, you might be bursting with energy – so much so that it overflows making it almost impossible to relax. Quite often either one of these scenarios can result in a variety of physical complaints.

By using acupuncture and/or the Epiphora method effectively, I can work with you to get your energy flowing correctly again so that your body regains balance, and you feel that: ‘this is my natural state of being; this is relaxation’. In this way, many health complaints can be significantly reduced or might disappear altogether.

Because we both are aiming for a good and lasting outcome, I would like to work with you to find the root cause of the complaint. In this way I won’t waste treating recurring symptoms. Complaints can, for example, arise from incorrect posture, incorrect nutrition or trauma and this can be addressed during treatment. Or, if you require a more specific , specialised treatment, I can recommend people who I know to be excellent in their field.

If you would like to know what ailments people come to me with, please go to the  conditions treated page.
