Monique Hermus has a special profession. She is an ear acupuncturist. As an ear acupuncturist, she helps people get rid of problems such as smoking and obesity in a short time. We went by to ask her questions.
Ear acupuncture may sound like a vague therapy that you don’t expect much from. But nothing is less true! Monica Hermus van Tren Counseling is the expert in the field of ear acupuncture. She has already helped many people to get rid of their complaints. Whether you want to lose weight, quit smoking or suffer from menopause complaints, Monique has the solution.
Quite a few positive effects
How exactly does ear acupuncture work? Monique explains: “There are nerves in your ear that correspond to your entire body. By placing very small needles at the ends of those nerves, a physical change is stimulated. And that has quite a few positive effects.”

Lose weight without dieting
For example, do you want to fall off? Then the needles ensure that you are full faster. You no longer need sweets and your fat burning goes faster.
“The chance of a yo-yo effect is very small,” says Monique. “Once your body gets used to those smaller portions and that reduction in sugars, it won’t ask for it anymore.”
Finally off that cigarette
Also if you want quit smoking the needles have an immediate effect. “They ensure that the nicotine leaves your body quickly and that you do not replace the cigarette with a lot of food. I even give my clients a guarantee certificate: if you start smoking again within six months, I will treat you again free of charge.”
Fly on with the transition!
Finally, Monique treats clients with severe menopausal complaints. Because of the needles you no longer suffer from hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings.
I want to help people
Before Monique became an auriculotherapist (the official name for ear acupuncturist), she worked in a diet clinic. After retraining as a therapist, she started working for a franchise organization. When she felt stuck there, she decided to take the plunge five years ago to start her own business.
That was the beginning of Tren Counseling, her own company. “I started doing this job because I want to help people. I found it very frustrating that the help stopped after a certain point. That is why I think it is fantastic to be my own boss now and to be able to do what I want.”

Step further
And it is precisely that step further that makes Monique enjoy going to her appointments. “People start to trust you and you can help them much further than with the specific complaints they initially come for.”
“For example, I help a lady with hip problems, who had actually already been treated. Thanks to the needles in her ear, she is pain-free again after years. When people get stuck, I look further into where it’s coming from. I never give up. Getting results is the best thing there is!”
New location
The ear acupuncturist travels all over the country to help people with their unhealthy habits and problems. “I get so many requests from the north and east of the Netherlands. That is why I will start treatments in the Utrecht region once every four weeks from April.”
If you make an appointment with Tren Counseling, you will first receive a good explanation – completely free of charge. Only then do you decide whether you want to get started right away with your goal. Monique comes to Centrum De Linde at Jachtlaan 15 in Bilthoven once every four weeks.
