our approach

Deep Bodywork with Lasting Results

At Rebalance Massage, we work deeply into the body’s layers, addressing muscles, connective tissue, fascia, and the nervous system. Each session is guided by careful observation and attentive touch, following the body’s tension patterns to release chronic holding safely and effectively.

We focus on creating space, restoring movement, and supporting the body’s natural balance, combining hands-on techniques with mindful presence. The result is lasting relief, improved mobility, and a deeper connection to your body, beyond the immediate effects of a single session.

A symbol of balance

Our logo represents balance and equilibrium, a reminder to check in with your body, listen to its needs, and nurture its well-being.

It reflects our belief that true health comes from balance, between movement and stillness, strength and softness, structure and flow. We recognize that emotions and trauma can be stored in the body, and our treatments work to release this tension, helping you heal on a deeper level.

Sander

I’m Sander Hoeksma, founder and master therapist at Rebalance Massage Amsterdam. Combining deep anatomical knowledge with a holistic approach, I draw inspiration from Māori healing traditions and my training in sports massage, trigger point therapy, and orthopedic rehabilitation. I’m passionate about Lomi Lomi massage, myofascial release, and helping clients release trauma and emotional blockages, guiding you back to balance and lasting well-being.

I specialize in deep tissue, therapeutic, and relaxation massage designed to restore physical alignment and release deep-seated tension.

"Georgian's treatment was on another level. He analyzed my body position and found restrictions I wasn't even aware of. I was very impressed with his bodywork skills, extensive knowledge, and how much impact he had after one treatment. I'm looking forward to my next session."

Margarita

•Lymphatic drainage to restore fluid balance.

"Margarita took a really good care of my pain spots. I really felt a huge improvement with mobility and pain in my shoulders. She also provided a valuable advice on the post care."

Elijah

I have been working for over five years as a physiotherapist in primary care. With my background in anatomy, physiology, and psychosomatics, I help people reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and support recovery.

My approach is attentive, effective, and tailored to what the body needs. After years in physiotherapy, I’m now delving deeper into holistic, body-oriented therapy exactly what draws me to the vision of Rebalance Massage Amsterdam.

Each session is unique to me: I combine knowledge of the body with presence and intuition to promote balance and awareness.

"It was the best massage I've ever had! Elijah really took the time to and understood my complaints, amazing experience!"

Winnie

I have been working as a massage therapist for over 17 years. I believe massage is a natural therapy that promotes health, well-being, and quality of life. In addition to relieving muscle tension, it helps reduce stress, improve circulation, promote deep relaxation, and restore balance between the body and mind.

Specialities:

Stephanie

Originally from Champaign, Illinois, Stephanie spent over a decade working in project and operations management in Chicago and Amsterdam.

Now co-owner of Rebalance, she creates the artwork seen throughout the space and supports the practice quietly from behind the scenes. She loves to create meditative and hypnotic artwork that helps you be more present. The sanctuary is designed with this same intention, inviting you to treat each massage as a meditative practice. As your nervous system relaxes, you are encouraged to take in the atmosphere and connect more deeply with the moment.
