Transform your touch, transform lives
With more than ten years of experience, I've built a vibrant community of bodyworkers through events, retreats, and gatherings around the world. My approach puts the emphasis on learning by doing — something no book or video can teach you. It's about presence, flow, and intuitive touch.
I believe that by teaching others we create a ripple effect — equipping more people with the skills to heal, support, and care for those around them. The more skilled hands there are, the more people can be helped.
Every year I grow alongside my students, grateful to share what I've learned and to keep making a meaningful impact through touch.
Immersive experiences
I believe in creating immersive experiences. You learn best by both giving and receiving techniques — that way you feel for yourself how the movements work. My classes are designed not only to offer relaxation, but to foster connection and knowledge-sharing between participants.
I teach at events, festivals, yoga studios, and retreats, as well as smaller classes and private sessions in my own studio in Ede — and in summer, even out in nature.
On request, I can teach individuals through mentoring, or small groups of friends, family, or couples. The possibilities are endless.

What makes my workshops special
Easy to get started
You don't need to commit to a long programme. One weekend course or intro workshop is enough to get started, and it's fun!
Learning by feeling
Hands-on practice helps you understand pressure, flow, and body mechanics far better than videos or theory alone. You build real skill by doing.
Help the people you love
You'll get the tools to help your partner, children, family, or friends feel better. A simple massage can mean the world.
Useful anywhere, anytime
Massage is a portable skill. Your hands are always with you. At home, travelling, or at a friend's place, you can offer support anywhere.
Deepen your bond with your partner
Learning together creates closeness and connection. You'll pick up skills you can keep practising on each other. Perfect for date nights.
Become part of a community
Workshops are often full of warm, open-hearted people. You'll meet others who value wellness, connection, and learning.

What participants say
I attended an Intro to Thai Massage workshop at The Gardens of Babylon's Monastery festival and was so impressed that I booked a session with Michalis right after — it was amazing! My partner and I later visited his studio, where he taught us great techniques we now use to massage each other. Highly recommended!
I finally decided to visit him with a friend for an afternoon of teachings — and I'm so glad I did. What Michalis teaches can't be found in books or videos. It's not just about techniques or routines, but about truly feeling and listening — to the body, the breath, the energy. He helped me move in a way that felt natural and organic, like a conversation without words.
There's something magical about learning from someone who's so in tune with their craft. Michalis makes bodywork feel playful, alive, and deeply intuitive. You leave feeling like you've remembered something ancient.
In a one-on-one session with Michalis, you're not just taught — you're invited. Into a space of stillness, attention, and embodied presence. He shows you how to listen with your hands and let your intuition lead the way.
There are things you can only learn through being shown — through presence, breath, timing. Michalis passes on wisdom that lives in the body, not the page. And that wisdom has forever changed how I work.
What I gained from Michalis wasn't just technique — it was essence. He's one of the few teachers who helps you feel the flow in your own body, so that massage becomes less of a sequence and more of a sacred dance.
