Foot Massage

Foot massage is a magic event. A well structured professional touch of the foot also has its effects on other parts of the human body. A specific branch of massage (foot reflexology) theorizes that various parts of the foot are connected 1 to 1 to several other body parts. I do not adhere to that theory. I accept however that the foot is an area of rich reward in touch, and a source of much pleasure.

I 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 well being not only of the skin itself, but of the entire person. Massage has miraculous healing powers.

By way of energy pathways t he foot is connected to all body parts and organs. I give a wonderful slow foot massage in which I can adapt to the wishes of you, my client regarding pressure and energy.

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.

The massage which I give is slow ; it is called 'holistic' or 'intuitive'. It is applied with two full hands on the partner, and is aimed at relaxation and in the best of cases it may trigger - in the one who receives - an inner sensation of flow, peace, serenity and bliss. It is quite allright to enjoy and the human mind may soar as well. My motivation is in the pleasure of giving and receiving.

Thus whole session takes between half an hour to about an hour.

A handicap is no objection. Yet I will not treat serious medical conditions as I am not a licensed physiotherapist.

Psychological Bulletin, January 2004 highlights

MASSAGE THERAPIY AGAINST DEPRESSION

Psychologists at Illinois University have researched effectiveness of massage therapy. A series of visits to the masseur may reduce depression, anxiety and pain. Even single visits may help alleviating anxiety and pain and may reduce hypertension and a high heart rate.
