The studio
More than a treatment room
The studio on the Kazernelaan in Ede is designed as a place where relaxation begins the moment you walk in. Natural light pours in from every angle and the windows look out onto the forest. It's quiet here, tucked away and far from the busyness of daily life.
The massage table has a heated underlay so your body feels warmth straight away. Surround sound speakers fill the room with calming music that carries you through the treatment. A private bathroom is available so you can change in complete comfort.
Every detail is considered. From the premium equipment to the scent in the air. This is not a conveyor belt of quick treatments, but a place to genuinely unwind.

On holiday?
On the Veluwe? Treat yourself to a massage
The Veluwe draws millions of visitors each year. Whether you're staying in a holiday cottage, on a campsite or at one of the larger holiday parks like Center Parcs, Landal or EuroParcs: a massage with Michalis is the perfect way to complete your stay.
The studio is a stone's throw from the forests and heathlands. Combine your treatment with a walk through the Sysselt, a cycle across the heath or lunch at one of the local gems.
And for those looking for something deeper: at Landgoed Quadenoord, Michalis runs day retreats combining massage and sound healing in a fully off-grid glamping setting, deep in the forest.
Michalis's picks
Make a day of it
The area around the studio has more than enough to fill half a day or a full one. These are the places Michalis recommends himself.
Food & Drink
Jorisbrood
Verbindelaarsweg 90, Mauritskazerne
An artisan bakery where bread is still made by hand. Slow-fermented sourdough from simple ingredients, from Pain Gris to spelt-emmer loaves. A neighbourhood favourite on the same Kazerne grounds as the studio.

GEIJT
Verbindelaarsweg 138
A plant-rich cafe with carefully brewed coffee and seasonal dishes. Think deep sofas, plenty of greenery and the kind of quiet that makes you want to open a book or pick up a board game. Ideal for after your treatment. Also on the Kazerne grounds.

Boerderij Mossel
Planken Wambuis
A tucked-away tea room in the nature reserve, reachable only on foot, by bike or on horseback. Coffee and apple cake with a panoramic view over the heath. Stay the night in a gypsy caravan among the meadows and farm animals.

De Wever Lodge
Onderlangs 35, Otterlo
A lodge and bistro on the edge of De Hoge Veluwe. Open fireplace, a seasonal menu and walking trails that lead straight into the forest. Take the car, order a glass of wine and let the afternoon stretch out.

An organic farm with an egg vending machine available 24/7 and a small shop selling vegetables and produce from local farmers.

De Sysselt & Het Paradijs
2 minutes' walk from the studio
Step outside and you're in the forest. Follow the paths for 10 minutes to Het Paradijs: an open sandy clearing ringed by towering Scots pines, flooded with sunlight, with picnic tables to sit and stay a while.
Ginkelse & Edese Heide
10 minutes by bike
The famous Veluwe heathlands stretching to the horizon. From late August to mid-September the landscape turns entirely purple. Home to the annual Airborne commemoration and the Heideweek festival.
Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe
Otterlo / Hoenderloo
One of the largest unbroken nature reserves in the Netherlands. Endless walking and cycling trails through forests, sand drifts and heathland. Free white bikes once you're inside. At the heart of the park sits the Kröller-Müller Museum, with a world-famous Van Gogh collection and an open-air sculpture garden.
