ABOUT ME
My name is Paz Lobo. I was born and raised in Spain. After a long career in the financial world, first in Barcelona and then in the Netherlands, I decided to follow my heart and started studying Chinese Medicine at Qing-Bai Academy in 2018. I then completed the professional training in Classical Acupuncture, Zhineng Qigong, and Western Medical Basic Knowledge (CPION/SHO).

My interest in maintaining health in a natural way and the energetic interaction between body and mind has always fascinated me. I have turned my interest into my profession with the aim of helping others improve their health and quality of life.

ABOUT ME
My name is Merel Jongejan. After completing my studies, I focused on horizontal and self-managing organizational structures that put people at the center. At the same time, my interest in the innate ability of the body and mind to heal itself grew, leading me to start an accredited higher education program in acupuncture. After obtaining my diploma, I wasn’t fully satisfied. In my search for an effective method, I discovered the Balance Method. With great enthusiasm, I deepened my knowledge of this method during my internship at Heng Ren Tang. Naturally, this is the place where I now join as a practitioner.
