Considers himself as a pragmatic clinician and practitioner with special interest in the personal and psychological development of his patients. “My Systemic thinking is for me a useful tool that helps my treatment on a more intellectual level in combination with the more emotional and energetic level that I can reach with my acupuncture. I strongly feel that personal development and growth has to happen on all these levels, and that we as acupuncturist tend to underestimate the intellectual level because we don´t have a lot of training in that field.”
