The Way Of Touch: Massage & Bodywork

  with Sarah Kate
The Way Of Touch  Welcome to my practice for Holistic Massage & Bodywork in the heart of Amsterdam’s Jordaan, where I offer you hands that meet you where you are. Tailored treatments that are characterised by a clear, firm, nuanced touch, as I work with dynamic pressure to support your body, muscles and connective tissues to release: blockages, muscle tension, stress, stagnation and to further aid natural alignment and healing. Always in respectful dialogue with the response of both the physical and emotional body. The ultimate aim is to help YOU to: drop into your body, become fully present, create inner space and leave you feeling deeply nourished.

All treatments are guided by 28 years experience of working with the body, I am forever learning to listen more acutely to who and what is present and ultimately to follow my intuition in silent dialogue with your body’s response. More about a session below.

 

What?                                                                                                                  All massages are FULL BODY, tailor-made treatments unique to the needs of each & every guest + warm natural oils. During your consultation we atune to what is present and calling for attention in your body. Together we set an intention and focus for your treatment that can be deeply relaxing, energising or a combination.

*Important: Please inform us of any injuries or health conditions.

How?

After your private consultation you will lay face down on a heated massage table wearing your underwear. You will be fully covered with towels and the massage will take place using warmed natural oils (please inform us if you have any allergies). Second part you lay on your back supported by cushions. Adjustments in pressure etc. can be made for your level of comfort. Following the session we have tea and together share any points of attention for potential follow-up treatments.

Guests feedback

 

I have reached such relaxation that I have entered the world of dreams.
She goes into inner layers where she finds and releases deep tensions.
… how good it feels that she knows how to read exactly what my body needs.You forget the feeling of time and space until you magically
return to the real world. Thank you Sarah Kate!
~ Javi, artist, performer, bodyworker

 

Sarah Kate offers a treatment that feels wholesome and nurturing.
She understands that massage is a form of communication, an exchange of energy, focused on bringing balance and restoring the body. She tunes in and is very conscious of what your body needs. It is not a mere sequence of actions & movements, it’s truly a healing experience, handled with care & respect. I can recommend her treatment to the fullest.
~ Annemeijn
