“I spent part of my childhood in New Delhi. There we had a massage on a weekly basis which made quite an impression on me. In Indian health culture massage plays a prominent role. Looking back it strikes me that I discovered the positive effects of massage so pleasantly, so young and in a totally different world. Funny that, decades later, this piece of my life’s puzzle falls into its proper place.
Back in Holland, after having finished my studies at the social academy I had a number of fine jobs as a civil servant and in the development area. In between I served as a volunteer in Botswana. By now it has become clear to me that change is and will always be a constant factor in my life.
My love for the massage profession emerged again during a coaching period. I graduated as a sports masseur and acquired experience working as a masseur at various well known spa’s. I also learnt new massage techniques such as hot stone and Ayurvedan massage.
Each massage session is unique to me which makes massage a fascinating and varying profession. The direct contact with another person makes it special. As no human being feels the same, finding the right balance poses a new challenge in each session.
We bear more answers than we realize and massage can help surfacing these answers, thereby bringing us closer to ourselves. Apart from that a relaxing or stimulating massage can simply produce an immediate and profound feeling of wellbeing, physically as well as mentally.
