Hello,  I am Yosay

Yosay, Josay, Yosaj, Yosie, I was called all kinds of things. I worked a lot with international clients and colleagues and my name turned out to be quite confusing. To explain my name phonetically, I used Yo! and the English verb To Say and that's how my company name Yosay was born 25 years ago. Pleased to meet you!

How I became an acupuncturist

At a young age, I suffered a back injury in which a fractured vertebra pressed on my nerves. Because doctors refused to perform an MRI and I remained uncertain for years, I began searching for answers myself. Yoga led me to a deeper understanding of anatomy and holistic philosophies such as Taoism, Buddhism, and Tantra. This not only helped me manage my pain but also allowed me to cope with physical and emotional challenges.

After eventually receiving a diagnosis and undergoing surgery, I felt physically better, but there remained a deeper imbalance. Acupuncture changed this; one treatment provided immediate relief. This inspired me to leave my corporate career behind and start studying at the recognized naturopathic program at the Traditional Chinese Medical Academy (TCMA).

Acupuncture also helps me during menopause. Changes in my diet and lifestyle have significantly reduced my symptoms. Chinese dietary therapy teaches me how to support my body naturally, without strict diets. I am now also a teacher at TCMA, responsible for guiding students during their internships and providing hands-on lessons in pulse and tongue diagnosis, anamnesis, and Zang Fu system treatments. As a member of the Dutch Association for Acupuncture (NVA), I attend annual continuing education in both Western and Eastern medicine.


This journey has taught me how closely body and mind are connected and how every complaint requires a personal, holistic approach.

Specializations & Education
While I have personal interests in themes such as menstrual issues, insomnia, and stress, I treat each patient individually. Every complaint deserves attention, and I enjoy working with clients to restore their balance, regardless of the nature of their problems.
