Come out and feel good about yourself with an Ayurvedic massage.

Ayurveda is a health doctrine from India. According to Ayurveda, being healthy is more than just the absence of being sick. Ayurvedic massage is an important part of this doctrine. According to Western medicine, you must first be sick before you can be treated. That is why we see massage as a luxury or only get a massage when "something" is wrong. Ayurveda is used to stay healthy. Preventatively, Ayurvedic oil massage strengthens the immune system and gives a feeling of well-being.

Ayurvedic massage contributes to:

* Activating the lymphatic system and blood circulation
* Combating stress, fatigue and insomnia
* The awareness of your body
* Relief of muscle tension
* Restore vitality of body and mind

The massage is relaxing and focused on the energy channels and energy nodes. Your entire body, including your belly, chest, head and face are treated with special oils.

During the massage, the marma points are stimulated. Many body tissues and energy channels (nadis) come together at these points. They are close to the surface, which makes them well-stimulated. Blockages, emotions or tension can get stuck in a marma point, these are resolved by stimulation.

Who is Ayurvedic relaxation massage for?

.. is suitable for everyone, from the elderly to babies, from adults to children. Actually, it would be good for everyone to have a massage once a week or at least regularly to relax your body and mind. This way, your energy remains better balanced and you prevent exhaustion during our busy lives with many stimuli.

Ayurvedic relaxation massage is an anti-stress treatment, a relaxation and wellness treatment. Among other things, rheumatism and RSI can be relieved with Ayurvedic (marma) massage and with a (near) burn-out or tension the massage brings peace. It is a massage that balances both body and mind and brings you back to yourself.

The oils I use during the massage are special Indian taila's of the brand Holisan. During the massage, oil is used abundantly, this is absorbed deep into your skin and your skin feels soft and healthy for a long time after the massage.

A look into my collection of Ayurvedic oils (taila's):

* Maha Narayan: Supports healthy muscles and joints, has a Vata calming effect due to its restorative effect on body and mind. The oil has an uplifting effect on the state of mind and provides mental resilience in gloomy times.
* Pancha Guna: fresh-spicy scented and activating oil for stiff muscles. Works refreshing and gets prana moving. For kapha types or people with too much kapha.
* Sahacharadi: purifies the blood, has a cleansing and rejuvenating effect on the body, has a relieving effect on rheumatism due to its deacidifying effect.
* Brahmi: soothing oil, also for head massage
* Vranapal: restorative for deep skin layers and connective tissue.

What can you expect:

The massage room is on the first floor of my house in Monties. It is quiet and light. In good weather I will massage you outside in consultation, we have no neighbours. You undress yourself down to your panties. Put on an old panty because the oil is difficult to wash out. The massage room is warm, it smells soft and nice and it is quiet. During the massage I play soft mantra music or it is quiet according to your preference.

We will briefly discuss how you are doing. I will ask you a few questions so that I can tailor the intensity, oil and focus of the massage to your body and this moment in your life. Most massages start with you lying on your stomach.

I invite you to lie down on a soft heated massage table. The massage table is extra large so that you can turn around safely. I use the extra space of the massage table to not only use muscle power during the massage, but also to "lean in" with my own body.

I massage first by tapping and then kneading to loosen your connective tissue and to bring the blood circulation to the surface. Per body part I massage the energy channels and marma points with heated oil.

During the full body massage I also massage the front of your body with your belly, chest and breasts. Energy channels run along your breasts and the glands around your breasts are important guardians of your general health and immune system. I always ask you in advance if I can massage your chest and breasts. During the massage you turn around a few times so that I can massage your entire body in a special order. The last part of the massage is the scalp and facial massage. Your hair also gets an oil bath and the subtle facial massage is very relaxing. Finally I cover you and leave you alone in complete relaxation to let the massage work deeply.

After the massage you can freshen up and get dressed again. Bring a brush and something for your hair or on your head because the oil is still in your hair. To give the oil time to soak into your skin, it is advisable to wait at least an hour before showering after the massage. After the massage we drink a cup of tea together.
