A body that can finally relax again

For women with tension in the neck, shoulders or back, and a mind that won’t quiet down. In my practice in Hoofddorp I feel exactly where tension has settled, and help you release it, step by step.

Does this sound familiar?

Your shoulders are up all day. Your neck feels tight, and by the end of the day you’re worn out, but truly relaxing just doesn’t happen. You take care of everyone, you’re always “on,” and your body always comes last. Maybe you’ve noticed it more since the menopause: sleeping worse, getting overstimulated faster, tension that settles in and doesn’t let go.

That’s because your body automatically switches into action mode whenever something is asked of you, and over time finds it harder to switch back to rest. This isn’t you making a fuss, and it usually doesn’t resolve itself.

With massage, calm touch and suitable warmth, I help your body find it easier to let go. You don’t have to perform anything here. You’re welcome to simply experience what it feels like when everything softens and slows down a little.

How I help you

In my practice I work with a combination of targeted massage and warmth, fully tailored to your body. Firm where tension sits, calm where your body asks for it. Clients often tell me I find exactly the right spots, spots they didn’t even know held so much tension.

You don’t have to do anything here. No story to prepare, nothing to perform. Just experience what it’s like when your body is finally allowed to let go.

Why women choose my practice

Exclusively for women.

My practice is a place where you feel safe and at ease. No waiting room, no rush, no unfamiliar eyes.

Hands that feel exactly where it sits.

With 15+ years of experience, I feel during the treatment where tension has settled, including in places you didn’t expect.

Focused on lasting results.

A single massage helps, but lasting relaxation needs repetition. That’s why there’s the Learning to Relax Programme.

How a treatment unfolds

We always start with a short conversation: where you feel tension or pain, what’s going on, what you need. Then comes the treatment: targeted massage on the spots where tension sits, complemented with warmth (hot stones or herbal compresses) if that suits your body. I close the treatment calmly, so the relaxation can keep working. Afterwards, I share what I noticed and what might help you at home.
