Holistic massage therapy invites you to connect with yourself just as you are right now. In massage therapy, your body is the gateway to what currently lives within you. This can be primarily a physical experience at times, emotional, or bring you in contact with memories. Whatever happens, I invite you to connect with the sensations in your body. By doing this together, you can experience your body in a different way than when alone. Massage therapy invites you to make contact with your body through touch. By listening in this way, change can arise in the 'problem' (the complaint), or your own attitude towards the problem can change. This creates space and can support your recovery. In 2018, I opened my practice as a holistic masseur, and in May 2022 I graduated as a holistic massage therapist from the Holos Academy. I now teach energetic massage in the first year of the program. As a child, I resisted the assumption that certain clothing, toys, or activities were 'for boys' or 'for girls'. And in my case, these were often considered 'boys' things'. This often led to confusion in 'the outside world'. As I increasingly connected with my own body, feelings, and history, I became aware of how that 'outside world' had also nested within me. The stories I had begun to tell myself, as if I had come up with them myself. The more I invited myself to truly feel within my body, the more conscious I became of that and could reconnect with my own core. In recent years, I have come to know the power and wisdom of the body more and more in myself and others. During my massages, I support you in also (learning to) listen to your own body. By taking the time and listening attentively, you often learn a lot. My massages help you take that time to listen to the language of your body. However you identify, know you are welcome.
