Wendy Minderhout – Acupuncturist

Wendy Minderhout has been an acupuncturist in Maresme for many years and has practiced for more than 20 years. She studied Chinese acupuncture in the Netherlands and went on to earn a postgraduate degree, specializing in Japanese acupuncture. Wendy uses a variety of tools (inserted and non-inserted techniques) and moxibustion (Artemesia, also known as mugwort) to treat back pain, joint pain, headaches, anxiety, depression, heart palpitations, digestive issues, and chemotherapy-induced and postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting.

Wendy has been successful with treating symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS), insomnia, and hot flashes (especially relating to menopause). She also treats children and teens with very delicate non-inserted techniques. This specialized method, called “shonishin,” has been found helpful for a range of problems, including asthma, recurrent ear infections or colds, behavioral, psychological, skin, urinary, digestive and developmental problems.

Based out of Cabrils, she is a member of the Toyohari Medical Association, an international group of acupuncturists with its head office in Tokyo. The Toyohari system focuses on gentle non-insertion needling techniques.   She is also a member of the Spanish Branch of the Toyohari Association.

“Acupuncture is a method of maintaining health, decreasing pain and cultivating a balanced mind and body that’s been developed over two centuries. Currently there are more than 8000 scientific studies easily accessible online which describe in scientific terms that acupuncture is effective. It’s an honour helping each person get in touch with their natural healing power.”
