About me
I have personally experienced the impact of blockages and liberation for many years. In 1998 I met my own bodywork teachers, and their lessons marked a turning point in my life. I delved deeply into the study and practice of various treatment methods, and for many years I immersed myself in the complex interaction of body, mind and breath. It was a true liberation to discover that words and thoughts do not always have to play the leading role. I learned to experience both relaxation and surrender as well as a powerful build-up of alert energy.
Based on pattern recognition as a trauma and integrative body therapist, I underwent traditional massage education in various styles, presented in a rational and investigative way. In doing so, I combined my knowledge of anatomy and body movement with modern insights and scientific research, and took into account other treatment methods.
This open and investigative attitude formed the basis for my long-term study, in which I meticulously analyzed and improved the different methods.
In addition to my training in traditional physiotherapy, I also followed the Vajrayan School and implemented a broader holistic vision.
I have always recognized the importance of the connection between massage and daily life. As a father of three daughters, I am all too aware of how we often run ourselves ragged and exhausted, ignoring the signals of our body and mind due to the many obligations that come our way. Much of the structural physical and mental stress that we experience on a daily basis is caused by the social and everyday stress that we find ourselves in. Therefore, it is of great importance to pay attention to the mutual relationship between physical and mental tension. At Metta Massage & Bodywork I do everything I can to break through this negative build-up. I want to build a bridge between consciousness and mindfulness in our body, and preventively strengthen the weak links in our musculoskeletal system.

Ik ben geen fan van bandwerk.
Iedere mens is uniek, en dus verdient ook elke behandeling een unieke benadering. Ik werk intuïtief, out of the box en met volle aandacht. Niet volgens vaste schema’s of standaardprocedures, maar vanuit verbinding en gevoel.
Ik luister naar wat je zegt, maar misschien nog meer naar wat je niet zegt. Naar wat je lichaam fluistert of stilzwijgend vasthoudt. Daar zit vaak de echte ingang naar ontspanning, herstel en heling.
Ik geloof in zachtheid, in empathie, in oprechte aandacht. Niet veel woorden, wel daden. Mijn handen doen vaak het werk waar taal tekortschiet. Geen oordeel, geen haast – alleen ruimte. Ruimte om te zijn wie je bent, in jouw puurste vorm.
In een wereld die steeds sneller draait, voel ik hoe groot de nood is aan verstilling. Aan tijd. Aan iemand die écht aanwezig is, zonder verwachtingen. Dat is wat ik bied: een veilige plek waar je even mag thuiskomen in jezelf.
Of het nu gaat om ontspanning, zorg, of het vinden van rust in een storm – ik stem me telkens opnieuw af op wat jij op dat moment nodig hebt. Warm, afgestemd, en altijd met het hart voorop.

Philosophy
Metta, a name imbued with meaning, is synonymous with loving attention and the promise of mental stability, happiness and peace. In the world of Metta Massage & Bodywork I unite the art of touch with bodywork, meditation and psychology. Here awakens the primal human need to be touched, a deep desire that is interwoven with our being, with the essence of our body and its energy system.
A sublime massage reaches to the core of liberating movement, in which the body, afterward, can move freely without any tension. But my focus is not limited to the calm body; I also break through negative preferred postures, thought patterns and stuck body structures, woven by one-sided movements.
This helps to resolve and prevent the many physical and psychological ailments that beset us, such as the tormenting burden of headaches, the suffocating prison of fear, and the shadows of stress. Through Metta Massage & Bodywork, I offer you a helping hand to embrace a posture that is light, mobile, and open—a posture that brings you the release you long for.
Filosofie
" When you touch one thing with deep attention, you touch everything "
- Lao Tzu-
I come to your home or a location of your choice, so you don't have to worry about the hustle and bustle of traffic or interrupt your precious time at home. There are countless reasons to choose a massage at home, because what could be nicer than being at home after such a relaxing moment, wrapped in your own comfortable cocoon? You can relax with a cup of tea in your familiar armchair or jump straight into the shower. Everything is arranged for you, so you can simply enjoy and experience. Let yourself be pampered and find peace in your own familiar environment.
