About
Laura Pavon: Acupuncturist and massage therapist based in Amsterdam
Originally from Spain, I began my journey helping people to feel better in 2011 in Barcelona, by studying massage, myofascial massage and trigger point therapy. Aditionally, I worked as a yoga teacher for eight years, teaching yoga and meditation to people with physical disabilities, COPD and recovering addicts. From 2013 to 2019, I studied traditional Chinese acupuncture at CENAC, Li Ping and Acupuntura Wu Wei, in Barcelona. Besides traditional Chinese acupuncture, I also learned SAAM, YNSA, ear and abdominal acupuncture during those years. Â
I have been editing Apuntes de Acupuntura, one of the most popular acupuncture websites in Spanish, since 2015. Joined the Catalan and Spanish acupuncture association SAC-AAE in 2016. In 2021, I moved to Amsterdam to study Toyohari acupuncture and became a member of the European Branch of Toyohari Association.
My approach to therapy can be described as compassionate and intuitive. With slow strokes and accurate pressure points, I use a massage technique that is adapted to the level of sensitivity of each client. As a result, it invites the nervous system to calm down and the mind to be in touch with the body. I use gentle and effective acupuncture techniques, and I monitor how the treatment is progressing and how the body is responding by feeling the pulse and observing the changes on the skin.
