Healing People is the continuation of Massage Marin, which we started 11 years ago in Amsterdam's Jordaan district.

Anno 2012 in the heart of the bustling Jordaan neighbourhood, Marin who began a great adventure in the world of coaching & massage after six months with Marlies. What began as a modest venture quickly grew into a celebrated place for holistic wellness and personal attention. Marin's unique approach, infused with warmth, empathy and expertise, soon caught the attention of clients and massage therapists looking for a place where they could showcase and grow their expertise.

Using the name 'Massage Marin', they conquered the market and became a household name in Amsterdam and far beyond. Their success was recognised not only by satisfied clients, but also by renowned magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, who wanted to share their story. Within the Amsterdam community, they were soon seen as one of the top ten massage studios, as reported by the Parool.

Massage Marin's mission was clear from the start: helping people and healing are at the heart of the business. It was not about making a profit, but about providing real, genuine care. This philosophy permeated everything they did and continued to drive their growth. Customers and masseurs felt the sincerity and dedication, keeping them loyal even as prices rose with the market.

Massage Marin's success provided a natural expansion, and in late 2021 they opened a second location in bustling Amsterdam Noord. Growth continued, but the world was challenged by the unprecedented conditions of COVID-19. Despite the difficulties, both locations stayed afloat and customers remained loyal to the warm and healing environment Marin and Marlies had created.

Now, after a journey full of growth, recognition and challenges, it is time for a new phase in the story of this extraordinary company. Massage Marin continues as Healing People, a cooperative that continues the mission of healing and support, carried by a community of like-minded individuals.

The journey continues, but the core values of honesty, dedication and care remain unchanged, keeping Healing People a bright spot of healing and hope for those in need.
