Women's Health
Gentle Support Through Every Stage
Traditional Japanese acupuncture and shiatsu, carefully tailored to support your body through hormonal changes, fertility, and menopause in Amsterdam and Amstelveen.
Women’s health is deeply connected to the body’s natural rhythms. Stress, sleep, circulation, abdominal tension, and the nervous system all influence how you feel.
At Japan Acupuncture & Shiatsu Clinic, we use a gentle Japanese approach to support your body through every stage—from menstrual discomfort and PMS to fertility support, pregnancy-related discomfort, postpartum recovery, and menopause.
We do not look at one symptom in isolation. We listen to the whole body how it is responding to pressure, tension, and hormonal change and tailor each treatment to what you need at that moment.
Our Japanese Approach to Women’s Health
Our approach to women’s health is rooted in traditional Japanese acupuncture and shiatsu. Using precise touch, pulse assessment, abdominal palpation, ultra-fine needling, and gentle bodywork, we listen to how your body is responding how hormonal changes, stress, abdominal tension, sleep, and circulation may be influencing one another.

How Japanese Acupuncture Supports Women’s Health
In Japanese acupuncture, we do not treat a symptom in isolation. Through touch, pulse assessment, abdominal palpation, breathing, muscle tension, and temperature, we build a detailed picture of how your whole body is responding.
Women’s health rarely involves only one system. Hormonal changes, stress, sleep, digestion, circulation, and emotional strain can all influence how you feel in your body.
Through ultra-fine Japanese acupuncture, shiatsu, and gentle bodywork, we aim to help the nervous system settle, ease abdominal and muscular tension, support circulation, and guide your body towards a steadier, more balanced state.
A Gentle First Step
Many people seeking support for women’s health are new to acupuncture. Our Japanese approach is gentle, quiet, and deeply attentive. We use ultra-fine needles and careful touch, adapting every part of the treatment to how your body responds.
If you feel sensitive or anxious, are pregnant, or are undergoing fertility treatment, you are in careful hands. We adapt the session to your needs and never rush or overwhelm the body.

Common Questions About Acupuncture for Women’s Health
Can acupuncture help with women’s health concerns in Amsterdam and Amstelveen?
Japanese acupuncture may support women through menstrual discomfort, PMS, fertility care, pregnancy-related discomfort, postpartum recovery, and menopause. At our clinics in Amsterdam and Amstelveen, we combine ultra-fine Japanese acupuncture, shiatsu, and careful palpation in a treatment tailored to your body and stage of life.
Can acupuncture support fertility or IVF preparation?
In our clinical experience, Japanese acupuncture can make a meaningful difference during fertility preparation and alongside IVF or IUI. Each treatment is carefully tailored to support circulation, ease abdominal and pelvic tension, calm the nervous system, and help create more favourable conditions for conception. While individual results naturally vary, our purpose is clear: to give your body the strongest possible support for natural conception and every stage of fertility treatment.
Is Japanese acupuncture painful?
Usually, no. Japanese acupuncture is known for its exceptionally gentle and refined approach. We use ultra-fine needles, careful palpation, and subtle techniques tailored to your sensitivity and condition. Most first-time clients are surprised by how gentle the treatment feels—and by how deeply they can relax during the session.
Can Japanese acupuncture support PMS and menstrual discomfort?
Yes. In our experience, Japanese acupuncture can provide meaningful support for PMS, painful periods, irregular cycles, lower abdominal tension, mood changes, and cycle-related fatigue. Rather than treating each symptom in isolation, we look at the whole body—particularly stress, circulation, abdominal tension, sleep, and the nervous system—and tailor each treatment to your individual cycle and needs.
Can acupuncture support menopause-related symptoms?
Yes. Many women come to us for hot flushes, night sweats, disturbed sleep, anxiety, fatigue, mood changes, and changes in temperature regulation. Our gentle Japanese approach is tailored to help the nervous system settle, release accumulated tension, and support a steadier physical and emotional rhythm through menopause.
How many sessions do I need?
Our aim is for you to feel a clear change from the very first treatment. After the first one or two sessions, we carefully assess how your symptoms, sleep, energy, tension, and overall balance have changed, then refine the treatment accordingly. For hormonal or fertility-related concerns, our goal goes beyond short-term relief. We work steadily towards deeper, longer-lasting change in the body. The number and frequency of sessions are based on your response, so every next step has a clear purpose.
Support for Your Body Through Every Stage
Whether you are living with menstrual discomfort, preparing for pregnancy, undergoing fertility treatment, experiencing pregnancy-related discomfort, recovering after childbirth, or navigating menopause, your body deserves care tailored to what it needs now.
Our Japanese acupuncture and shiatsu treatments are designed to restore balance, ease tension, and create meaningful, lasting change.
