Massage therapy
Massage therapy treatment improves your body and breath awareness. Aimed to relief pain and tissue stiffness, helps regulate stress and tension complaints, provides calm from (psycho-)emotional complaints, trauma and bereavement. It helps you regain control over your own body. During the intake, the treatment plan, tailored to your specific needs will be discussed with you.
To activate your body awareness, during the treatment we pay attention to aspects such as:
- How is your body awareness, where can you feel your complaint?
- Where does blood circulation (energy) flow freely and where are there (pain/emotional) blockages?
- Can you breathe smoothly at your own rhythm?
- What can you easily let go of and where does your body hold tension?
Massage therapy has a deep healing effect and is often successfully used as support for psychotherapy.
The massage therapy techniques
The massage therapy techniques used are fully tailored to the complaint you present. I always translate this into the way of thinking according to Chinese Medicine. Where a complaint disturbance is resolved by restoring the balance in the correct meridians. Use is made of a combination of the following massage therapy techniques, for which I am professionally trained:
- Deep tissue massage and classic sport massage
- Reflexology
- Joint movement and respiratory stretching
- Breathing techniques to enhance finding a steady breathe rhythm
- If needed, emotional bodywork aimed at releasing traumatic tension
After the massage therapy treatment took place, it is important to drink a large glass of water. To clear any waste products from the blood. Leave some rest and space for yourself after the treatment took place, in order to digest what happened in the massage therapy treatment.

The effect
Thanks to the subtly combined techniques, you’ll notice that my therapy sessions will have a long-lasting effect on you. You better sense your limits and resilience. You recognize tension in your body and what you could do to relieve it. Your body posture and body mind awareness have grown.
It may happen that the complaint becomes more noticeable shortly after the treatment. After all, we have been intensively working on it. Please feel free to contact me if any doubt arises.
The personal touch
After the therapy treatment took place I will provide you with an “easy to do at home” exercise to follow-up the effect of the therapy treatment on your health complaint. A free extra. Could be anything from a breathing technique, to a specific reflexology point or a visualization It helps you increase your body & mind awareness.
