Japanese acupuncture is known for its gentle and refined approach. We use very fine needles and shallow insertion, so treatment is usually not painful. Most clients experience it as calm, subtle, and comfortable, even if they were nervous about acupuncture before.

Yes. We use sterile, single-use disposable needles for every treatment. Each needle is individually packaged, used only once, and safely disposed of after the session. We use high-quality Japanese needles from trusted medical suppliers, and all needles are manufactured and sterilized as medical devices.

Yes. You can book Japanese acupuncture and shiatsu treatments online at Japan Acupuncture & Shiatsu Clinic in Amsterdam and Amstelveen. You can choose a 60-minute or 90-minute session depending on your condition, preference, and availability.

We begin by listening to your symptoms and carefully assessing the body through touch. For first-time clients, treatment often starts with gentle touch and shiatsu to help the body relax. Very fine needles are then applied slowly, one by one, and adjusted carefully throughout the session.

Yes. We offer gentle Japanese acupuncture and shiatsu treatments in Amsterdam and Amstelveen. Our treatments support stress, sleep problems, pain, women’s health, fertility support, and general wellbeing.

Many clients come to us for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and physical tension. Japanese acupuncture and shiatsu can help the body settle, release tension, and support a calmer nervous system. Treatment is gentle and adjusted to each person’s condition.

Yes. We support women’s health concerns such as menstrual discomfort, PMS, menopause-related symptoms, fertility support, and stress-related hormonal imbalance. If you prefer a female practitioner, you can choose Hiroyo when booking, depending on availability.

Please try to arrive about 10 minutes early, so you have time to settle in and relax before your session. We prepare warm organic tea at the clinic, which you are welcome to enjoy before treatment. It is also best to eat a light meal beforehand, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol before your appointment.

This depends on your condition and how long you have had the symptoms. Some people notice clear improvement after the first session, while long-standing issues usually require more time and consistent treatment. In many cases, we recommend starting with one session per week for about four weeks, then adjusting the treatment plan based on your progress.

You can come in your normal everyday clothes. For treatment, we usually ask clients to change into their underwear, and we use fresh clean towels for every session to cover all areas that are not being treated, so your privacy is always respected. If you would prefer not to change into your underwear, you are welcome to bring a T-shirt and shorts or other loose, comfortable clothing.

After treatment, we recommend taking it easy, staying warm, and drinking plenty of water. If possible, avoid intense exercise, alcohol, or a very heavy meal for the rest of the day. Some people feel deeply relaxed or slightly tired after treatment, so giving your body a little time to settle can help you get the most from the session.

We accept iDEAL, credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, JCB), as well as cash.
