Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu massage takes place on the floor, on a futon (a nice, soft Japanese floor mat) while the therapist is sitting or kneeling next to you. The client is dressed lightly, preferably in loose fitting cotton clothes.

The object of the shiatsu session is to improve the flow of CHI (life energy).

Many of the touches are applied by thumb or fingers pressure and may be medium, strong or extra strong. The power may almost reach to the pain threshold if you like that. The wonderful endorphins thus released are part of the experience and process of healing.

By paying attention to chakra’s and by focusing on energy lines, Alya will help the client to return to his or her initial perfect balance. If there are energy blocks, these may yield problems and imperfections in yoiur life and in your body. "I help you to regain balance."

By dissolving energy blocks you will regain your own life energy and you will start with a fresh approach to the the challenges that life presents and you will build up a healthy resistance against disease so that you will remain vital and healthy.

Corneel: "For many years I have received shiatsu massage and I know how blissful and liberating it can be. With Alya I encountered a somewhat different technique, very quiet and sometimes at the edge of pain, but also very effective and bliss of touch. During the massage my body was revived, active and full of pleasant little shocks of kundalini-energy (chi-energy). I want MORE ! And I want it NOW ".

Thus the whole session, includig a little talk beforehand, takes about a hour and a half to almost two hours.

Our Philosophy

We believe that touch is a great gift between human beings. Massage works by means of the quiet, healing power of human touch. Touch forms the most direct contact without words between one person and the next - and it influences the wellbeing not only of the skin itself, but of the entire person. Massage has miraculous healing powers.

The one who receives massage and the one who gives massage are not just concerned with a small part of the anatomy, just an arm or a leg or a back, but they bring with them their totality as a human being. During the massage, both the one who gives and the one who receives, stand at the outer limit of the skin - the most sensitive and largest human organ - and thus at the outer limit of the physical self. At its very best, the massage session forms a platform of bliss in a world sometimes full of stress and pressure. Massage is living in quality time. The release of energies and endorphins will make you feel good for a long time. Come discover this for yourself.

Being Quiet and Trusting

Giving and receiving massage takes place in inner calmness and concentration on the basis of serenity and trust.

Also for couples in all colour combinations and from heterosexual to gay - this massage may become a radiating event, a true present to celebrate a milestone in the relationship.
