Sybolt Hakman, Physician
Sybolt Hakman was trained for many years in the medical field and has a broad background in both Western and Eastern Medicine.
He graduated as a doctor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam- VU.
He worked briefly on a ship and an oil rig, 7 years as an repatriation doctor to fly patients from abroad back to the Netherlands.
Out of interest in Eastern philosophy and medicine, he studied acupuncture for 3 years at the Dutch Acupuncture Physicians Association (NAAV). He has had the NAAV-C registration since 1987. He started his practice as a doctor and acupuncturist in Amsterdam-Zuid.
Besides TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) he also studied Electro-acupuncture, Functional Medicine and Integrated Medicine. Phytotherapy and Orthomolecular Medicine soon followed.
Studying is his hobby – specially to understand the current scientifically proven working mechanisms and risk factors, as well as the cause behind chronic diseases.
Recently he studied 3 years the field of cPNI (“clinical Psycho-Neuro-Immunology”) at the PNI Europe.
Privately, as a student and as a repatriation doctor he travelled a lot. He is still internationally orientated.
