What Qualifications do I have?

🔅100 Hours Immersion Program 🔅

Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork

The Hague

Small Group: 2 to 3 Students

Private Lessons are available and are described further down on this page.

The 100 hour immersion program will focus on the following and cover all the Modalities you wish to learn from the list above.

How can you create change in the body without understanding it? This course explores body reading, muscle function, origins and insertions, agonist and antagonist relationships, fascia, trigger points, referred pain, and common soft-tissue pathologies. You’ll learn how these concepts relate to pain, restricted movement, weakness, and contraindications, as well as how to engage the parasympathetic nervous system, relieve pain safely, bolster different body types, use cushioning systems, practice effective self-care, and prevent burnout. Most importantly, you’ll learn how technique, presence, and intention communicate safety to the client’s mind, body, and spirit.
Through the study of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and soft-tissue pathology—alongside trauma-informed conversations—you’ll learn through multiple approaches designed to support different learning styles. You will give and receive professional therapeutic massages, observe integrated Eastern and Western techniques, and progressively build skill through hands-on practice. Emphasis on body mechanics, awareness, and calm presence transforms massage into a moving meditation. You will learn purposeful techniques that support healing, flow, comfort, trust, and connection, building a strong foundation for ethical, confident practice. Ultimately, your informed touch and intention will redefine what therapeutic massage feels like—and illuminate its power to heal and connect

Small class size: Two to three students. You must together arrange this. Three is the maximum! I have two massage tables to practice on and I will supply you with all the practice materials that are needed. Study materials are also included. All of my books stay in the studio so I encourage you to buy your own if the paper handouts and digital resourses I provide are not enough. I supply you with: 100% Jojoba Oil, Hip holster for massage oil, sheets and towels and all materials and supplies needed. Simply show up with your curious mind, an open heart, your desire to learn, and the kindness of your spirit.
