October 2014: "Namaste Kees, It was a wonderful meeting and learning from you. Bruce says it was also a pleasure watching you and seeing how your techniques and spirit make such a difference. I was in quite a lovely energy space when I left. I found myself smiling as I used to do years ago when I left yoga classes with my wonderful teacher who left for another life adventure when cancer overtook his body. We both very much look forward to the next time we meet again. Stay safe always,
Shanti, Mireille and Bruce"
July 2016: "I really enjoyed my holistic massage from Kees. Complete relaxation and serenity." Kerry R.
Below a short example of Neck - Shoulder - Back massage, January, 2013.
October 2004. Two girlfriends aged 21 years, one Swiss and the other Dutch, came to my practice together. They each received a separate massage (while the other watched in the same room) and during the last 15 minutes of each session I invited the waiting girlfriend to join in for a 4-hand massage. The 4 hands traveled extremely slowly upwards, in an Esalen-technique crosswise over the body, from foot to the raised elbow.
S. said: "How beautiful is the body. What pure magic. I have never touched my friend in such a way."

version, Version Française. Photos: Jeroen Leclercq, www.hollandfoto.com. Full-time, seven days a week, I and my massage colleagues are available for you to come to your hotel for a couples massage - only visits
by appointment, in the wider Amsterdam region. I can come by myself to your hotel room (1 masseur) or we can come to your hotel room as a team (1 male masseur + 1 female masseuse). Car is available. For reasons of personal safety we never send a female masseuse by herself to a hotel room. When going to your hotel room we will bring all of our massage paraphernalia: a professional massage table,
and a suitcase full of goodies - oils, towels, a covering sheets, a CD player and
an electric heater. (You actually have all the right in the world to invite anyone you want in your hotel room) Receiving a perfect stranger in the privacy of your hotel room and allowing
that stranger to touch your bare skin, that is indeed quite something. I have often
heard that clients have checked the Internet for about an hour to see whether this
masseur Kaldenbach is OK. He is. After the massage there is often a feeling of elation and happiness because of the
quality and goodness of touch and communication. Massage 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. Massage works by means of the quiet, healing power of human touch; the most
direct contact without words between one person and another. It influences
your total well being - not only of the skin itself, but of the entire person.
Massage has miraculous therapeutic powers. Both the people receiving and giving massage are not simply concerned with
just an arm, leg or back, but bring to it their totality as a human being.
During the massage, they 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 enables you to experience quality
time. The result is the release of energies and endorphins. Make an appointment
and discover how good it feels.
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; known as 'holistic' or 'intuitive'. The technnique
makes use of two full hands on the client, and is aimed at relaxation. In the
best of cases it may trigger - in the one who receives - an inner sensation
of flow, peace, serenity and bliss. The body relaxes in enjoyment and the mind
may soar as well. My motivation lies in the pleasure of giving and receiving. Initially the body is fully covered with a cloth made out of the finest French
linen. After a a few minutes of pulsing, I uncover one body part at the time.
The have learned to massage these body parts: in a table massage the head,
neck, shoulders, back and the sides, arms and hands ; upper chest ; ribs,
stomach, buttocks (if you wish), legs and last but not least, both feet. I also enjoy doing pulsing and stretching. It is also possible to perform
a quiet dance, in which the person who receives massage fully accepts the
slow limb movements and relaxation. Within a session of a good hour a choice is made by the client of the body
parts mentioned above; this selection is geared both towards the situation
and the needs of the one who gives and receives. Before starting I do appreciate
a short talk and perhaps some loosening the muscles and grounding the body. At the end of the session various parts of the body have been touched with
energy and care; regaining the sense of unity of the body is reached by the
repeated feathery light trace on the whole body of 'energizing finishing strokes' Thus the whole session takes just over an hour. I enjoy exchanging - but can also just give massages. A handicap is no objection.
Yet I will not treat serious medical conditions as I am not a licensed physiotherapist. I do speak Dutch, English, German and also some French and Italian and I have
studied at the Amsterdam Free University (Vrije Universiteit); hence my title
