Since September 2018 I've been sharing the spot as massage exchange guide at the Odessa ship in Amsterdam. Massage Exchange is kind of like a workshop, but with more freedom of the participants to intuitively do what feels right. In these 2 hour long sessions, we focus on a new area of the body, or work with a different style, so that even is you come every week, you always learn something new, but it still stays accesible to participants on all levels of massage work. My job as a Guide is to ensure that everyone is able to work in tha most relaxed way possible, while at the same time maintaining a high level of efficacy. To show some new moves and pressure points, to inspire and reassure where it may be needed, Classes vary from between 6 to 14 students.

Shiatsu, Thai, and Chinese abdominal massage all have their roots in  Oriental medicine or TCM.  They use a network of energetical meridians embedded in the body that distribute lifeforce, and that, if blocked, generate discomfort or disease. In my sessions we will work with different forms of Accupressure delivered through the fingers, hands, feet, elbows and knees. Using the breath, deep stretches and joint mobilizations to create a highly effective, intergrated therapy that removes blockages and stagnations  in the body, as well as in the mind. Where the muscles will also be worked, the emphasis is on the meridians   and generating an over all balance throughout your system. After a massage, my clients often express feeling very relaxed, open and rejuvenated. The cleansing process may continue even days after the treatment,  and leave you with a over all holistic feeling of wellbeing. Shiatsu is always given clothes on. Abdominal massage is hands

From an early age, I was exposed to Foot Reflexology, Reiki and an holistic way of living through my parents. Than, at age 18, I started traveling to explore the many spiritual cultures of the world, visiting more than 60 countries.  Studying Yogic Kriyas with various masters, and developing a daily practice of Vipassana meditation since 2009, the healing Arts than chose me to help people from all walks of life find healing and come into their bodies. Studying Zen Shiatsu in the in Netherlands for several years, I than expanded my skill set with Thai Yoga and Chinese Abdominal massage, and am currently developing my practice with Tai Chi and Pranayama Breathwork.  I is also a passionate Permaculture gardener and musician, all elements that inspire my sessions.
