I’m Cristina Soava, a licensed acupuncturist based in Amsterdam.

Although I studied Economics and spent several years working in a corporate environment, I’ve always been fascinated by people, their psychology, and what drives them.

For a long time, I dreamed of changing careers and doing something more meaningful. I investigated different options and, at some point, I discovered Acupuncture.

At first, I found it both confusing and intriguing. It took me some time to understand what drew me to this approach, but eventually, I discovered the connection between body and mind that I had been looking for.

In TCM, nothing happens in isolation. Everything is interconnected, and our emotional experiences can influence how we feel physically, just as our physical health can affect our emotional wellbeing.

I believe that our bodies can sometimes express what we haven’t yet been able to process emotionally. As acupuncturists, we have a unique opportunity to support both physical and emotional wellbeing by creating a space where people feel heard, understood, and supported in their healing journey.

I truly love what I do, and I feel fortunate to be able to help people feel better in their bodies. I approach this work with care, respect, and a deep sense of responsibility. I’m continually researching, learning, and exploring new ways to improve my practice. For me, this is a lifelong journey, and one I’m happy to embrace.

I work with a wide range of health concerns, with a particular interest in pain and women’s health, including menstrual complaints, fertility, and menopause.

Above all, I want you to feel that you’re in a safe and supportive space, where your concerns are taken seriously and you are treated as a whole person. I’ll always do my very best to understand your needs and help you find your way towards feeling better.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.
