Magic of Ki
Herstel begint bij de energie die in jou stroomt. Wanneer die stroom vastloopt, merk je dat in fysieke of mentale klachten, spanning of vermoeidheid. Door zachte, gerichte behandelingen, zoals acupunctuur, Toyohari, Shonishin, cupping of moxa, kan je Ki weer vrij bewegen, en krijgt lichaam en geest de kans om te ontspannen, herstellen en opladen.
I look at you as a whole — body, mind, and heart — and tailor my approach to what you need in the moment. Healing feels gentle, personal, and sometimes even magical: small interventions can have big effects, helping you feel lighter, clearer, and more in balance.
This approach not only eases discomfort but also strengthens your vitality, expands your awareness, and creates space for your natural inner power. Each treatment is an invitation to reconnect with yourself and your own healing energy.
Ki & Care
Here you’ll find the ways I support you — from acupuncture to retreats.
Each session is tailored to what you need in the moment. Sometimes it invites deep relaxation and letting go, sometimes it awakens and strengthens your energy. Step by step, this helps you build resilience, balance, and inner strength.

Acupuncture
Acupunctuur brengt lichaam en geest terug naar rust en balans. Met zachte, verfijnde naaldjes ondersteun ik de doorstroming van je energie (Ki), zodat spanning kan loslaten en je natuurlijke herstelkracht weer ruimte krijgt.
Waar passend combineer ik dit met moxa, cupping of gua sha.
cosmetic acupuncture
Zachte behandelingen voor gezicht én lichaam, die je huid op een natuurlijke manier verjongen en je uitstraling een boost geven.
Met fijne naaldjes stimuleer ik doorbloeding, collageen en energie (Ki), dit in combinatie met gua sha ~ face cupping en een massage, voor een frisse glow én diepe ontspanning.
“Where the art of healing meets the wisdom of your Ki, a journey of balance, renewal and integrated connection awaits”

retreats
Gun jezelf een diepe reset tijdens een retreat waarin rust, beweging en herstel samenkomen.
Met acupunctuur, zachte yoga, meditatie, mindful movement en plant-based voeding nodig ik je uit om te ontladen, op te laden en weer te landen in je eigen ritme licht, helder en verbonden.
Children & Ki
At Children & Ki, I support babies, children, and teens with Japanese pediatric acupuncture (Shonishin). This gentle method often works without needles, using subtle touch and point stimulation. It creates more calm, relaxation, and space for growth.
Let Me Introduce Myself
Ik ben Doreen McCurdy.
The Journey of Ki is ontstaan vanuit mijn liefde voor de oosterse geneeswijzen & yin yoga en mijn wens om een plek te creëren waar rust, herstel en energie weer kunnen stromen. Met acupunctuur, yoga & ademwerk en mijn zachte, holistische benadering begeleid ik je terug naar balans.
Grounding & Presence
My practice is located at Het Fort bij Nigtevecht, a beautiful historic site set in lush nature just outside Abcoude and Amsterdam. I chose this place with my heart: its serene atmosphere and surrounding greenery create a special environment for restoration and balance. Here, there is space to simply be, to breathe, and to follow your own rhythm.
I tried acupuncture for the first time, and I can truly recommend Doreen. She communicates clearly and guides you through the entire process. It feels safe, and my body really feels the difference.

How many treatments will I need?
Voor acute klachten zijn meestal 3–5 sessies voldoende. Bij chronische klachten is vaak een traject van 5–10 behandelingen nodig. Voor preventief onderhoud kiezen veel mensen voor 1 sessie per 3–4 weken, afhankelijk van hun behoeften.
What does it feel like during the treatment?
During the treatment, people often experience deep relaxation of body and mind. They may feel tingling or warmth, notice their energy flowing, become tired, or even fall asleep. Emotions can surface, while they feel lighter, freer, and more in touch with themselves, like a gentle reset for body and mind.
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture and How Does It Work?
Cosmetic acupuncture is a gentle, natural way to rejuvenate your skin and enhance your radiance. Fine needles stimulate circulation and the flow of energy (Qi) in your face and body. Where appropriate, I combine this with gua sha, cupping, a light massage, a mask, and nourishing oils. The result is skin that feels radiant, relaxed, and resilient, while your body finds calm and balance.
How Many Treatments Until You Feel and See the Difference?
Cosmetische acupunctuur werkt subtiel en zacht, en de effecten bouwen zich geleidelijk op. Meestal merk je verschil na een paar sessies, en voor een langdurig en duurzaam resultaat wordt een reeks van 10–12 behandelingen aanbevolen. Daarna kun je af en toe een onderhoudsbehandeling plannen om je glow te behouden. Iedere stap is afgestemd op jouw energie en het ritme van je lichaam.
How Can I Support Your Child?
At Children & Ki, I support babies, children, and teens with gentle, safe acupuncture treatments. We nurture the body and energy so they can relax, restore, and grow.
Children can come for physical, emotional, or hormonal concerns, sleep difficulties, anxiety, pain, or other tension. Each treatment is tailored to the child and their unique needs.
Who Are the Retreats For?
My retreats are for anyone longing for a deep reset of body and mind. With Yin Acupuncture and Yoga Nidra as a foundation, I create a safe, gentle space where tension can dissolve, energy can flow, and the body’s self-healing capacity can activate.
During the retreats, I incorporate gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, tailored to what your body and mind need. This is not an escape from reality, but an invitation to feel your inner rhythm, deepen your energy, and restore your natural balance. je interne ritme te voelen, je energie te verdiepen en je natuurlijke balans te herstellen.
Whether you are struggling with stress, physical tension, mental exhaustion, or simply seeking depth and inner calm, the retreat offers a personal experience that supports relaxation, restoration, and renewed vitality.
