Rebalance massage
Makes you feel at ease
Our signature Rebalance massage is aimed to make you as relaxed as possible and released from pain or trauma. A refined set of massage techniques helps your body experience a calm state and bring a deep level of relaxation. The Rebalance massage has the gentle power of recharging and reconnecting between the heart and head. During this treatment, there will also be a focus on identifying and reducing any pain points so you will feel more in balance.
The massage is good for blood flow, eliminating any waste product that doesn’t belong in the body which also helps to improve the digestive process. Finally, it helps you soothe the mind.
Deep tissue massage
Long and deep massage movements to break down muscle adhesions
Deep tissue massage is practiced with long stroking movements and deep pressure points is directed towards deeper layers of muscle and fascia. This technique requires skillfully executed examination of all the muscles in search of unevenness in the tissue.
The development of connective tissue in the body is a continuous process which sometimes needs extra attention. By massaging it regularly, space is created between the tissue and the muscle, which allows the muscles to maneuver more smoothly. This treatment is ideal for those dealing with ongoing muscle tightness, post-injury rehabilitation, or stress-related pain.
Lomi lomi massage
Restores the flow of your own energy
Lomi Lomi is a Hawaiian healing full body massage which was passed on from generation to generation. The technique reflects the rhythmic movement of the waves of the ocean, trying to restore the flow of your own unique energy. With this massage you can dive deep into the process of letting go to help release blockages and give your energy a new direction.
Lomi Lomi has beautiful, long, fluent, flowing movements over the full length of your body with soft, but effective massage strokes. We use high-quality, organic jojoba oil to nourish the skin. If you feel stressed, have trouble connecting with yourself, feel sad or the need to take some you time, Lomi Lomi is the ‘embrace’ your body just might need.
Sports massage
Reviving the muscles by releasing tension
Our sports massage in Amsterdam is a reviving and firm massage targeted to improve blood circulation of the muscles and aid in dissolving bodily waste products more easily. It also improves the recovery of the muscles and prevents injuries from happening.
This type of massage is well suited for active people, especially if the muscles experience a lot of stress and have been overburdened.
Myofascial Release massage
Restoring structural integrity and movement
Myofascial Release is a specialized, hands-on technique that involves applying gentle yet firm sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions. Unlike traditional massage, this treatment focuses on the fascia, the web-like system that surrounds every muscle and organ. By identifying areas of tightness or “knots,” our therapists work to release these restrictions, allowing the body to return to its natural, fluid state.
This treatment is particularly effective for those suffering from chronic pain, restricted range of motion, or postural imbalances. By addressing the root cause of physical tension within the connective tissue, Myofascial Release helps to reorganize the body’s structure, providing long-term relief from discomfort and a renewed sense of physical freedom.
Lymphatic Drainage massage
Supporting your body’s natural rhythm and recovery
Our Lymphatic Drainage massage is a gentle and rhythmic treatment designed to support the flow of lymph, which is the fluid responsible for carrying waste products away from the body’s tissues. Using light and precise skin-stretching strokes, this specialized bodywork encourages the natural drainage of the lymph system. This system can often become sluggish due to stress, a sedentary lifestyle, or the recovery process after surgery.
This treatment is deeply restorative and non-invasive, making it ideal for those looking to reduce swelling (edema) or support the body’s natural recovery processes. Beyond the physical benefits of reducing water retention, Lymphatic Drainage has a soothing effect on the nervous system. This leaves you feeling lighter, refreshed, and more internally balanced.
Pregnancy massage
Restoring full-body comfort and relieving pregnancy pressure
Pregnancy creates distinct physical shifts as your body continuously adapts to a changing center of gravity. Our Pregnancy Massage focuses on targeted relief for these changes, reducing tension in the lower back, hips, and shoulders while improving circulation to help manage swelling. This approach is designed to downshift the nervous system and bring a deep sense of comfort back to your body.
We use a specialized pregnancy massage table with a built-in hammock support for the belly. This unique cradle allows you to lie face-down safely, a position that immediately decompresses the spine and relieves pressure on the pelvis. We combine this with precise side-lying protocols or an inclined setup where the table folds up halfway to maintain optimal blood flow and avoid compression on major vessels. This fully adjustable system ensures complete safety and comfort through every stage of pregnancy.

Questions about our treatments?
If you’re wondering what to expect, how we work, or which therapy is right for you, we’ve got you covered. If you need more details, check out our full FAQ page.
Which type of massage is right for me?
The right massage depends on your needs. If you’re looking for relaxation and stress relief, a Rebalance massage might be best. For muscle tension or pain relief, deep tissue or sports massage may be more suitable. If you have deeper issues, injuries, or chronic pain, we recommend booking with an Elite or Master therapist for specialized care. If you’re unsure, our therapists can recommend the right treatment based on your goals.
What is a Rebalance massage?
A Rebalance massage is our signature treatment, designed to restore harmony between body and mind. It combines deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, and intuitive touch to relieve tension, improve mobility, and support emotional well-being.
What is a deep tissue massage?
A deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and fascia to release chronic tension, break down adhesions, and improve mobility. It’s ideal for those with persistent pain, muscle tightness, or recovery from injuries. While it can be intense, our therapists adjust pressure to your comfort level.
When should I get a sports massage?
A sports massage is beneficial before or after physical activity, helping to prevent injuries, improve performance, and speed up recovery. It’s also useful for treating existing sports-related injuries or chronic muscular imbalances.
What does 'holistic' mean in massage therapy?
Holistic massage focuses on treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just physical symptoms. It combines technical massage techniques with mindfulness, breathwork, and energy balancing to support overall well-being.
Should I talk about past trauma or emotional stress with my therapist?
If you feel comfortable, sharing past trauma, stress, or emotional challenges with your therapist can help deepen your healing experience. Our bodies store emotions in physical tension, and releasing that tension can sometimes bring emotions to the surface.
While massage therapists are not psychotherapists, we hold space for your healing and can adjust our approach to support your process. If you prefer privacy, you can always ask to speak with your therapist directly in the treatment room before your session begins. There’s no pressure to share, but openness can enhance the benefits of your massage.
Can I exercise after a massage?
We generally recommend waiting 24 hours before intense exercise, especially after deep tissue or sports massage, as your muscles need time to recover. Light movement, like walking or stretching, is fine and can help maintain the benefits.
How often should I book a massage?
The frequency of massage depends on your goals. For general wellness, once a month is ideal. If you’re dealing with chronic pain, stress, or recovery from an injury, weekly or biweekly sessions may be more beneficial. Your therapist can create a personalized plan for you.
What should I expect during my first massage?
Your therapist will discuss your needs, concerns, and any medical conditions before beginning the session. You’ll be guided on how to lie on the massage table and draped for privacy. The treatment will be adjusted to your comfort level, and you’re encouraged to communicate any preferences.
