Simply Breathe - Schalk Burgerstraat 17

Massage is the one thing that has always helped me to relax and feel more connected to myself. Years of working in high pressure environments and being a worrier/thinker lead to personal struggles with stress and tension. While travelling, and in my home town of Amsterdam, I experienced a wide variety of massage techniques from around the world and I was able to observe the benefits to my health and wellbeing. 

As my passion for massage grew, I decided that I wanted to learn how to share it with others and I trained in Holistic Massage at the Akademie voor Massage en Beweging in Amsterdam. The day I first experienced Thai Yoga Massage, I felt so deeply energized and relaxed, that I knew that I had found the massage technique that I wanted to specialize in. I have since trained in the various forms and levels of this Ancient Healing Art, including “Wat Po” or traditional Thai Acupressure, “Chi Nei Tsang” or Abdominal Massage with hot compresses, and Foot Reflexology in Amsterdam and Chiang Mai, Thailand.

As well as working as a Thai Yoga Massage therapist, I am passionate about sharing the knowledge of these amazing healing techniques. I graduated from the Teacher Training at ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam and from the Advanced Practitioner and Teacher Training program (390 hours) at ITM Chiang Mai, and I offer private classes, workshops and certification programs.

I realize that this sounds like a cliché, but Thai Yoga Massage changed my life: my mental and physical health have greatly improved, I am less sick and have fewer headaches. Most importantly I have now realized that a “job” can be fun and bring me energy and joy. I love seeing the effects of the treatments and the classes on others and I hope to inspire you to take greater care of yourself and your happiness.
