Fatigue, stress, digestive or hormonal complaints that don’t show up on a scan — yet never quite settle. Haruki is one of the few certified Japanese-style acupuncturists in the Netherlands, trained to read what lies beneath.

Japanese needles are finer than those used in most Western acupuncture. The insertion is gentle, almost imperceptible — even for those who are needle-sensitive.
Traditional moxibustion uses carefully refined mugwort, shaped by hand. The warmth penetrates deeply, stimulating circulation and supporting the body’s natural recovery.
Diagnosis goes beyond symptoms. Pulse quality, posture, breathing, and emotional patterns all inform each treatment — an art of reading what lies beneath the surface.
Born in a Buddhist temple in Japan, I grew up with a deep respect for the body’s natural rhythms. I trained intensively in Tokyo, learning to read the body not only through symptoms but through pulse, posture, and emotional patterns.
For over 20 years I have also studied the Japanese tea ceremony, holding the rank of shihan (master). The values of stillness, attentiveness, and precision from that practice shape every treatment I give.

It uses ultra-fine needles and a very gentle insertion — most people feel little to nothing. It suits those who are sensitive to needles.
He focuses on internal and stress-related complaints — sleep, fatigue, digestive and hormonal balance, and tension that doesn’t respond to structural treatment alone. It supports the body; it is not a substitute for medical care when that is needed.
It depends on the complaint and how long it has been there. Haruki will give you a realistic sense of this after your first appointment.
