Dynamic Thai Yoga Massage in Ede on the Veluwe

You can choose from treatments of 60, 90, 120 or 180 minutes. A standard treatment is 90 minutes to 2 hours; the more time we have, the deeper I can work on your specific areas of focus.

A 60-minute treatment is a partial treatment only, focused on one or two problem areas.

A full-body treatment starts from 90 minutes.

The 2 and 3-hour treatments give plenty of time to relax and work on problem areas — it's a true journey into your own body.

If you want a truly special experience, I recommend choosing a signature session, which is a combination of massage with sound healing.

It takes at least 45 minutes for your nervous system to fully relax, so I recommend booking longer if you really want to surrender to the maximum healing effect.

Traditional Thai massage, also known as 'Nuad Boran', is a therapeutic technique that originated in Thailand over 2,500 years ago, using rhythmic compression, acupressure and stretching. Thai Yoga Massage is a more modern style that integrates more yoga elements: more stretches, movement and yoga-like positions. Both styles share the same goal: relaxation, releasing tension and promoting overall wellbeing.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your massage, as you'll be moving and stretching throughout the treatment. Think joggers or leggings and a t-shirt. Bring a clean pair of socks too.

Thai Yoga Massage can sometimes feel intense, but it shouldn't be painful. Let me know if you experience any discomfort so I can adjust the pressure and technique. If you've ever had a traditional Thai massage that felt uncomfortable or too intense, know that I take a very different approach. I communicate clearly and tailor the treatment to your unique body and capacity.

Not at all! You just need to show up as you are, regardless of your shape or fitness level. Thai Yoga Massage is given to athletes and office workers alike, so it doesn't matter how flexible you are. Every treatment is different and adapted to the person receiving it.

Absolutely! I love creating a personalised treatment that fits your needs. Thai Yoga Massage combines particularly well with shiatsu and Wuo Tai. On the table I can even weave Thai massage stretches into an oil massage. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll put together a tailor-made fusion of different bodywork modalities.

Dynamic Thai yoga massage is done fully clothed on the mat, with stretches, pressure and positions I move your body into. What is possible depends on the level of contraindication. There are four, and the level decides whether I work as usual, adjust something, skip one area, or we pick another date.

1. No contra-indication: nothing stands in the way of a treatment.

Osteoarthritis · Pelvic floor complaints and diastasis · Work-related overuse · Breastfeeding · Burnout and chronic stress · Fibromyalgia · Heel spur · HSP, ADHD and autism · Jaw tension and teeth grinding · Lower back pain · ME/CFS and long covid · Stomach and bowel complaints · Miscarriage and pregnancy loss · Neck pain and a stiff neck · Overworked muscles from sport · Menopause symptoms · Postpartum · Rheumatoid arthritis in remission · RSI and CANS · Scoliosis · Sleep problems and restless legs · Tension headache · Muscle soreness after training · Work-stress shoulders

4. General contra-indication: I cannot work safely here and we move your appointment.

Acute injury, the first few days · Acute psychosis · An acute situation that needs a doctor first · Phlebitis · Shingles · Heart condition, untreated or unstable · Concussion · A skin complaint of unknown cause · Fever, flu or covid · Impetigo · Lice · A migraine or cluster attack · A mole that is changing, growing, itching or bleeding · Under the influence of alcohol or drugs · An infected tattoo or piercing · Recent surgery · Ringworm · High-risk pregnancy without approval · Scabies · Strong painkillers that leave you drowsy or dizzy · Thrombosis or suspected thrombosis · Whiplash, the first few days · Erysipelas and cellulitis · A torn calf muscle, the first two weeks

It remains your responsibility to tell me what is going on before the treatment. When in doubt, check with your doctor, and mention it when you book so I can adapt the treatment to it.

We start with a short intake about your body, your goals and any specific wishes. Then I bring you into relaxation slowly, with rhythmic compression and rocking movements, before going deeper with yoga-like stretches, twists and acupressure. I work not only with my hands but also with my forearms, elbows, knees, legs and feet. At the end you take your time to come back gently with a cup of tea.

This treatment is ideal if you have stiff muscles, chronic pain or limited mobility, or if you carry a lot of stress and need movement to release it. It's also a lovely choice if you want a massage given fully clothed, without oil, or if you want to improve your flexibility and freedom of movement. Not sure if it's right for you? Let me know and I'm happy to think it through with you.

No. Thai Yoga Massage is given fully clothed, without oil. You wear your own comfortable clothing that lets you move and stretch easily. That makes this a great choice if you feel more at ease with a clothed treatment.

This treatment takes place on a mat on the floor, not on a massage table. On the mat I have the space to guide you properly through the stretches, twists and body rocking, and to work with my whole body. It's more comfortable than you might think.

Most people feel revitalised and deeply relaxed at the same time. Thanks to the stretches and movement you often feel more space and freedom in your body, while your mind settles. Afterwards, drink some extra water and give yourself a quiet rest of the day, so the work can land.

That depends on you and your goals. If you're working on chronic tension or limited mobility, coming regularly often helps more than a single treatment, whether that's weekly, fortnightly or monthly. As a self-care ritual it's also lovely to give it a fixed place in your calendar. Let me know what you want to work on and I'll help you find a rhythm that suits you.
