Your body and mind
in good hands
Welcome
Who is this for?
People who feel stressed, tired, fragmented, depressed, or experiencing a lack of energy — or on the contrary, feel overstimulated, restless, and scattered, and are in need of relaxation.
The massage allows to either 'get things moving' or 'slow down', to 'get back into the body', 'feel more alive' and reconnect with oneself — bringing back the equilibrium between body and mind.
Who am I?
Led to body-centred psychotherapy after experiencing the shortcomings of not integrating body, mind and emotions.
Have previous education in massage therapy and a deep appreciation for how touch affects the body and facilitates connection.
Why Pangolin?
Body armour and resistance are two important concepts in body psychotherapy. In a pangolin, both are clearly visible - in the scales, and the rolling-up in a ball. One shields the pangolin from harm, and the other one makes the armour most effective. But sometimes, it can malfunction, become obstructive. In body psychotherapy, the armour is an integral part of who we are - which is also true for the pangolin. Open up and interact by building trust, not by force.
Why would you want to ‘break’ through the armour when you can invite to unfold and interact instead?Book a session
Services
Biodynamic Massage
Biodynamic massage is a form of massage that goes deeper than the tissue — it taps into the body's ability to self-regulate by addressing the autonomic nervous system.
Various techniques are used to help the client connect with their bodily sensations. As the gut is one of the places most sensitive and responsive to various emotional states in the body, a stethoscope is placed on the body during the massage, providing additional immediate feedback on the body's responses (peristalsis).
Body Psychotherapy (currently unavailable)
A form of somatic therapy that treats the body and mind as intertwined and inextricably connected.
Emotions are stored in the body and can only be released through it — focusing not only on the mind and talking therapy, but also on the body, is therefore a strong advantage of this form of therapy.
