I have been a professional massage therapist for more than 15 years. In June 2002, I graduated from America’s leading healing arts school, the Heartwood Institute. I then trained as a certified Zen Shiatsu masseur in Amsterdam. Since 2008 I have worked regularly for the Dutch Royal Ballet and the International Dance Theatre. I have continued to expand my range of massage therapies, adding disciplines such as PPT training (Patterns of Physical Transformation) and cranio-sacral therapy.

I offer both a unique combination of traditional Swedish massage, Polarity therapy and Zen Shiatsu and a classic shiatsu massage.

Swedish massage is a classic relaxation massage which reduces stress and stimulates blood circulation, leaving you both relaxed and invigorated. Polarity therapy is based on the Ayurvedic tradition which sees the human body as an energy system. Through the application of pressure, balance is restored as negative energy is released. This stimulates physical and emotional well-being and personal growth. Zen Shiatsu massage involves the use of acupressure. Based on the ancient Japanese and Chinese medical tradition, shiatsu restores the balance in and between the meridians, to improve and maintain a healthy mind-body balance. 

My practice is in my home in central Amsterdam. The rates are € 77,-  for 1 hour and € 105,-  for 1,5 hour.

Appointments may be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. After that, the full amount is payable.
