“YOU CAN’T BE WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE.”

That’s the theme of this year’s .nl Role Model Campaign for International Women’s Rights Day and I’m so honored to be part of this year’s selection.

The mission of this organisation is to create visibility for inspiring women - by showing successful women publicly, the campaign aims to inspire more girls and women to pursue careers in tech and leadership. There are 100+ posters of women in Amsterdam this week, join me in celebrating all of us ❤️🫰

I’m honored to be recognized for my work especially since I left tech & corporate to pursue a completely different path. In more ways than you know, I’m so grateful I took the leap and found my life calling - I can feel my impact on my local community first hand, even if that means I’m not scalable, that’s okay. The kind of work I do and human healing (in its truest form) has no timeline and is immeasurable.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Fertility Support at Sun for Soul

Sun for Soul offers fertility acupuncture and Chinese medicine in Amsterdam, supporting clients from the Netherlands and Belgium who are seeking a natural, integrative approach to reproductive health.

Every fertility journey is different. Treatment plans are built around:
- Detailed menstrual cycle tracking
- Medical history and fertility testing (when available)
- Stress levels, sleep, digestion, and energy
- Current phase: natural conception, IVF, egg freezing, or recovery

In my practice: couples Are Encouraged to Come Together - why? Because fertility is rarely just a women’s health issue - yet women take it upon themselves to throw all of their energy at this process.

Supporting both partners often leads to better outcomes and less emotional strain.

When couples engage in fertility care together, we can:
- Address male fertility health proactively
- Align timing, lifestyle, and expectations
- Reduce pressure placed on one partner

Even when only one partner receives acupuncture, involving both partners helps create shared responsibility and emotional support.

What's your journey?

FERTILITY & HORMONES / LET'S TALK.

Just over the last three years of building my practice here in Amsterdam, I can’t tell you how many clients have shared unsettling stories about their fertility journey.

For many, hormone health only becomes a focus at the moment of conception. Yet hormonal regulation matters long before trying to conceive - and continues to matter well beyond the childbearing years. By the time fertility enters the picture, many women are already depleted, stressed, or disconnected from their body.

(One of the reasons why I created the Menstrual Method btw!)

In Western fertility care, the focus is often on numbers—hormone levels, follicle counts, timelines. While useful, this approach can leave people feeling disconnected from the process, especially when tests are “normal” but progress stalls. And that disconnect is deeply emotional.

This is where clients arrive in my practice.

Some have been trying to conceive for months or years. Others come earlier, seeking cycle regulation or fertility support before medical intervention. What they share is a desire to understand their body—rather than feel managed by protocols.

This is where I bridge Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
TCM looks at patterns that develop over time—how stress, inflammation, hormonal disruption, digestion, sleep, circulation, and the nervous system are interacting. Instead of forcing outcomes, we focus on regulation, nourishment, and restoring communication within the body.

Fertility care doesn’t need to feel disempowering.
My role is to help you understand what your body is communicating and support it with clarity, steadiness, and care.

LOCAL MEDICINE /
FORAGED. HEALING. WILD.

When it comes to medicine and routines, you know I like to keep things simple and straight forward - if it works, why change it? I continue with these super popular tinctures in the shop that have been flying off shelves for the past 2 years since their debut at my TCM medicinal dinners (yes I miss them too!)

WHAT IS A TINCTURE:
Herbal tinctures like my Wild Rishi Mushroom and Elderberry tinctures are liquid herbal extracts that provide a more effective herbal solution than capsules or powders. This form best preserves the active elements, assures potency and allows the herbs to enter the bloodstream faster.

🍄The Wild Rishi Mushroom Tincture
> Promotes emotional well-being and reduces restlessness
> Perfect for when you're feeling unbalanced
> Use 2-3 drops in tea each day for 1-2 months for the best results

🫐The Wild Elderberry Tincture
> Wards off common illnesses
> Elderberry's natural anti-inflammatory properties contribute to respiratory health, making it a valuable ally in combating colds and flu
> Perfect for seasonal shifts
> Use 2-3 drops in tea each day for 1-2 months for the best results

The Sun for Soul tinctures are sustainably foraged with wild-crafted ingredients.
All of our raw ingredients are carefully handpicked, processed, and formulated here in the Netherlands.

This is one of my favourite moments of the year. Lunar New Year marks the beginning of spring 春节, the Spring Festival. A time to clear what’s been lingering, nourish what’s been depleted, and gently set the tone for what’s next.

We’re stepping into the Fire Horse year—dynamic, forward-moving, and unmistakably alive.
Fire Horse energy carries momentum and courage, but in Chinese medicine, the real work is direction, not speed.

Three gentle reminders for the Fire Horse year:
🔥Pace the fire. Momentum is powerful, but rest is what makes it sustainable.
🐴Lead with clarity. Fire needs intention — let your choices come from purpose, not pressure.
🧧Support the Heart. Prioritise sleep, blood nourishment, and nervous system care as life picks up pace.

A few Chinese New Year traditions I return to each year:
🧹 Clean the home on New Year’s Eve — make space for what’s arriving.
🍜 Share a home-cooked meal with someone you love (it’s a full moon, after all). Longevity noodles are always on the table.
📝 Set one clear intention — healing with intention

May this year bring: warmth without overwhelm, movement with meaning, and energy that truly lasts.

Thank you for being part of the Sun for Soul community 🤍
Wishing you health, steadiness, and a prosperous year ahead.

新年快乐，万事如意！

Jennifer.

ACUPUNCTURE 101 / WHAT IS FOR?

Whether you've had acupuncture done or not, it's always good to come back to basics and bust myths when it comes to this ancient practice.

Acupuncture is only one tool out of the Traditional Chinese Medicine toolbox, but probably the most known.

At Sun for Soul, acupuncture starts with your pulse, and a thorough intake, to understand what are your health goals and how can I help you best. Once that is established and we have a plan in place, together, we can start.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your vital force, called Qi, flows through you via pathways called Meridians. When stagnating, blocked or present in excessive amount, Qi can lead to illnesses. By inserting thin needles into various points on your body, the natural flow of Qi is re-established and balanced. your body heals naturally.

What is acupuncture good for, then?
- It relieves pain
- Helps with sleep and chronic fatigue
- Reduces stress
- Promotes digestive health
- Enhances immunity
- Restores hormonal balance
And more...

Are you curious?
Book a session with me and we'll tailor together an action plan that works for you and your body. See you soon at Sun for Soul.

THE MENSTRUAL METHOD / A new signature workshop at Sun for Soul.

Your hormones aren’t random; in fact, your cycle is patterned, intelligent, and deeply responsive. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the cycle is a monthly conversation between blood, energy, rest, and movement. When we learn how to listen, things begin to regulate naturally.

Fertility and hormonal health reflect the whole system at work:
hormones, nervous system, digestion, sleep, stress, and blood flow are deeply intertwined.

In this workshop, we’ll explore together how cycle health supports not only conception, but long-term vitality, recovery, and balance.

JOIN US: Whether you’re cycling naturally, coming off hormonal birth control, or simply wanting to feel more in tune with your body, this is a space to learn, reflect, and feel empowered.

➡️SAVE THE DATE: Sunday March 1st
Join me in this 90-minute workshop where we reconnect with the intelligence of your menstrual cycle.

We’ll explore how to:
🌀connect to your inner cycle
🌀understand each menstrual phase (using TCM expertise)
🌀develop simple monthly rituals that support hormonal balance, energy, and long-term menstrual health

What to expect:
🤍A thoughtfully curated educational session
🤍Open Q&A: a space for all the questions about what’s normal, what’s not, and what your body may be asking for
🤍Bespoke ear seed application for each participant
🤍A Chinese medicine herbal blend crafted for women’s health
🤍A Cycle Sync Journal to take home (including a full year of guided journaling to track patterns and deepen cycle awareness.)

Are you coming along? I'm so so excited to share all of this knowledge and I'm looking forward to meeting you.

❄️ KIDNEY HEALTH & WINTER WELLNESS

As we approach our last weeks before the start of a new lunar year (aka Spring), I'm here to remind us of the importance of TCM, Winter, and Kidneys health: the system that stores your core vitality (Jing 经) and influences libido, memory, concentration, bone and joint strength, teeth, hair growth, hearing, water retention, and more.

Kidney Qi shows up in how stable you feel in your body:
・Abundant Kidney Qi → clear, grounded, resilient
・Depleted Kidney Qi → scattered, fatigued, easily overwhelmed

What do I often see the practice?
Kidney Qi Deficiency → hair loss, pre-mature hair greying, burn out and adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue, brain fog, low libido, cold extremities, irregular and scanty periods, low fertility, weak digestion when stressed, lack of motivation, tinnitus and vertigo.

How to Support Your Kidney System this season: more slowness, less doing, and more being.
🦶Stimulate Kidney acupoint (avoid evenings): Use your thumbs, a tennis ball, or a wooden foot roller under the ball of your foot to simulate KID-1 Yongquan. This acupoint helps settle the mind and draw energy downward.
🧘‍♀️Avoid sweaty workouts: Avoid high-intensity workouts after sunset; choose movement that restores rather than drains.
🍽Eat black-colored foods: Especially right after menstruation: black sesame, black beans, seaweed, mushrooms; these deeply nourish Kidney Qi.
💆‍♀️Support hair + head health: Wash your hair less frequently and gently stimulate hairline acupuncture points in the morning to strengthen the Kidney–Hair connection.
🧣Wear layers: Sweat less and cover your neck, nose, and head when it’s windy, cold, or rainy. Kidney energy is easily depleted by cold exposure.

Share this with someone who might need it 🙌
