Burnout

Toen ik voor het eerst bij Bassam kwam was ik net getroffen door een flinke burn-out. Ik was er emotioneel en lichamelijk niet al te best aan toe. Een gesprekstherapeut suggereerde om o.a. acupunctuur te proberen. Ik had daar geen ervaring mee en was er wat huiverig voor. Maar de behandeling sloeg bijzonder goed aan en ik heb er veel baat bij gehad. De combinatie van acupunctuur met de traditionele Chinese kruiden die Bassam voorschreef, zorgde ervoor dat ik na enige tijd de spanning uit lichaam en hoofd weg voelde vloeien en weer tot rust kwam. Een aanrader voor iedereen die onverhoopt in dezelfde situatie belandt. Bassam is een kundig acupuncturist en weet je volledig op je gemak te stellen.
