About me - professional tantric massage in Amsterdam

My name is Hannah and I’m a professional body therapist and tantric massage practitioner based in Amsterdam.  Touch is my language. As a Dutchie I value honesty, clarity and a no-nonsense approach, because true connection starts with authenticity.

I established my first practice, Mindful Touch, in 2006, specializing in pain relief and dysfunctional breathing. For more than 20 years, I have been training continuously  in body-oriented therapies, including triggerpoint therapy, dry needling, fascia therapy, breathing therapy, massage techniques, and neurokinetic therapy.

In addition to my clinical work, I have studied Buddhism and non-dualism for more than two decades, as well as Advaita Vedanta, and tantra, which deeply influenced the way I work with touch, presence and awareness.

I’m a practical, down-to-earth, intuitive person with a zest for life and a positive energy.

Before starting my private practice, I worked as a registered nurse in conventional healthcare for ten years. Later in life I completed higher professional and academic education and worked as a social worker, a researcher, and a health educator.

As time passed I felt drawn toward a more holistic approach to health and well-being, one that integrates the physical body, breath, nervous system and conscious awareness.

Next to my hands-on work, I give courses and masterclasses on triggerpoint therapy, the psoas, diaphragm and breathing, and the vagus nerve.

Respectful, focused attention is the foundation of everything I do.
I always approach the body as an interconnected whole, where physical sensations, breath, emotions and awareness influence one another.

In my tantric massage sessions I work in a clear, safe and one-way setting with full respect for personal boundaries and consent. My intention is to create a firm and safe setting in which you can relax deeply, reconnect with your body and experience presence through touch.

I’m drawn to this work because, time and again I’ve seen how conscious touch can support people in coming home to themselves, beyond words, beyond effort.

In the tantric tradition Shakti refers to the universal life force that underlies and sustains all existence. In my work this is translated into appreciating the natural intelligence and vitality, which are already present in the body.

If you’d like to experience my approach firsthand, you’re welcome to explore my tantric massage sessions. Or get in touch if you have any questions.
