Ellen

Want more energy?
Feeling stuck, physically or emotionally (or both)?
Longing for change and need a little support in your back?

With an academic background in health promotion and health education and as professional procrastinator I know how hard it can be to change (behaviour). Massage supported me to better listen to my body and my intuition and make healthier choices. It's wonderful to support others in their change processes, in finding relaxation/vitality/clarity, or when dealing with grief.

As holistic masseur and massage therapist in training (I'm in the third year at the Academy for Massage and Movement), I like to explore the root cause(s) of your complaint: at mental, physical and emotional levels. Jointly, we'll look for the best ways to improve the connection with your body and intuition, and to strengthen your overall resilience and self healing capacity.

What I offer you

Based on your needs and preferences, I combine various breath, massage, and movement techniques, such as: thai yoga massage (Nuad BoRarn), movement techniques such as Trager, joint movement, relaxation techniques, and deep tissue massage.
(I speak Dutch, German, and English).

Testimonials

I highly recommend Ellen's massage. She has magical hands and a beautiful heart to listen to you. For me going to a massage with her, means forgetting everything, being connected with myself and just enjoying the present moment. - Adeline Salles

When I felt Ellen's energy after entering, I knew I was at the right place. The first touch on the table confirmed this. Ellen feels exactly which places of my body need extra attention. Due to the combination of her touch, healing energy and my breathing, I can let go of tensions. By asking questions, Ellen gives insights in the emotional causes of my physical tensions. Which made me communicate better with my body after the session. An hour is actually too short. I left the room with a smile and a tear, blissed-out. - Mariette Ruggenberg

With a soft and clear touch, Ellen can help me relax in such a way, that I can leave on my bike with a light and uncomplicated feeling. She relieves my neck and backpain, it makes me already look forward to the next session. I've been enjoying her massages on a monthly basis for the last two years. - Monica van Rijn
