About me:
I have been an acupuncturist and energy medicine practitioner for the past thirty years, and a lifelong student of nature and awareness. I am passionate about helping people connect to the beauty that is all around and within us. I combine years of practice and my studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, nature connection, Andean philosophy, and energy medicine to treat the whole person.
I was born in Holland and my ancestors are Dutch. I have lived and practiced in Canada and the USA, and am currently living on Haida Gwaii, on the traditional territory of the Haida Nation. I love cooking, drawing, wildcrafting and spending time with birds.
Acupuncture
I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture with my teacher: Dr. David Chu in Calgary, Canada. I have been practicing acupuncture for thirty years in private practice, where I combine acupuncture with energy medicine. Through my teacher I gained a deep love and respect for Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially tongue diagnosis and five element theory. I love the puzzle of a person’s health and I combine the many tools that I have learned to achieve optimum results.
Eden Energy Medicine
A pioneer in Energy Medicine, Donna Eden has developed a comprehensive system to address the body’s energies: Eden Energy Medicine. I have studied with Donna Eden for the past eighteen years and have incorporated her system in my acupuncture practice with great success. She has taught me much about how the energy systems in the body interact and express themselves. Her practical daily energy exercises are a great tool for achieving and maintaining health and vibrancy.
Andean Philosophy
My quest for what it means to be in the right relationship with the earth led me to study with Elizabeth Jenkins and the Q’ero people of Peru, teachers of the Andean philosophy and Inka nature teachings. The wisdom of the Q’ero tells us how our bodies are designed to resonate with the forces of Nature and join together to perform powerful ceremonies of healing and harmonization. There are main forces of Nature that everyone on earth has equal access to: Mother Water, Mother Earth, Father Sun, Mother Wind, Moon, and Stars, and Father Cosmos. The Q’ero graciously share their powerful medicine for people to connect to the earth, especially good for those of us who have lost the knowledge of our ancestors’ wisdom and traditions of doing so.
Deep Nature Connection
Through the Kamana Naturalist study program that I completed after seven years, I learned much from my ‘sit spot’. This ordinary and incredible place was just outside my backyard, a place where I often went to observe and sit. The birds, animals, plants and trees, wind and land have taught me much over the years. I know that we all are part of a greater whole and that we truly belong here on earth.

“When I went to Saskia for the first time, I really was a mess. I had terrible menopause symptoms. She said my hormones were out of wack. Almost all of my symptoms were gone after one session. Saskia is nothing short of amazing.”
Sue Retan -
I am usually hurting from chronic pain in my lower back and hips. Saskia goes above and beyond with a holistic routine where she addresses my body as a whole, with not only acupuncture, but also with massage and cupping. After heating my back with a hot towel, she uses cupping and energy medicine techniques that always leave me in a better place as far as my pain, but also my mental state. She is truly a very gifted and talented therapist.

“...when we ‘lose our mind’ and ‘come to our senses’ in the fullest possible way, the chattering, texting, e-mailing, twittering mind will eventually quiet down and almost silence itself. This is a sacred and connected silence...It’s like a deep, still pond reflecting the stars of the night sky. I believe this is the baseline for human consciousness, and I’m convinced that the birds are the best mentors in the natural world for bringing us to it. ”
