Take a moment for yourself
Eve's massages
Different muscles and muscle groups will be treated during a massage. Massaging and kneading improves blood circulation in the tissues. Waste products are removed and the metabolism of the muscles and muscle functions improve.
Attention and focus is brought to the body.
Relaxation massage
A relaxation massage is a real treat for body and mind and one of the oldest and healthiest ways to relax. A massage is therefore not a luxury, but a real necessity. To feel and function well every day, it is important that you regularly take a moment of rest. With a relaxation massage you recharge your batteries and say goodbye to stress.
Benefits of a relaxation massage
A relaxation massage has many benefits:

With a massage you also give your immune system a boost.
With a relaxation massage you reduce physical complaints, so that you also feel good mentally and vice versa. How you feel is inextricably linked to any physical complaints.
With a massage you create peace in your head and body and you ensure that stress has no chance.
Hot Stone Massage
A hot stone massage is a massage of the body with stones of approximately 45 degrees Celsius. The heat and the 'pressure' of the stones penetrate deep into the muscles and relieves tension.
Round basalt stones are used for the massage. Basalt is a hard and ferruginous volcanic rock with a high density. This allows the stones to retain heat well.
Warmth and relaxation
The stones are dipped in a warm water bath and placed on the focus areas of the body first, usually your back. This gives a pleasant warmth and relaxation. The stones give a certain pressure, which you can compare with a stretching exercise. This is most noticable when you remove the stone.
After putting the hot stones on the body, you will be further massaged with the warm stones and warm oil. Hot stone massage provides deep relaxation and detoxification.
The massage mainly consists of long calm and circular strokes. Due to the combination of heat and movement, the massage works deeper into the muscle tissue which makes it extra effective.
A hot stone massage contributes to the self-recovery of the body, removes waste products, stimulates the organs and brings the body more in balance.

Lomi Lomi
Lomi Lomi is a holistic massage form from Hawaii. It is a wonderfully relaxing full body massage.
The body is massaged with warm oil and beautiful long flowing movements as if waves of the ocean wash over your body. The massage is mainly done with the forearms and covers the entire body, from crown to toes with a lot of oil. To enable the long flowing strokes you will be covered only with a sarong. The lomi lomi is given with loving hands; completely in the here and now with loving attention and a loving heart. The emphasis is on total physical and mental relaxation and less on loosening the muscles.
In april 2023 heb ik de 200 uur Lomi Lomi practitioner opleiding afgerond bij Malamalomi in Amsterdam. Deze opleiding heet ook Hawaiian Temple Bodywork en word gegeven volgens de traditionele normen en waarden voor bodywork
Chair massage
A chair massage ensures the relaxation of the muscles, which suffer most from work stress or a wrong posture, such as your head, neck, back and shoulders. This prevents RSI and work stress.
After the massage you will feel relaxed and refreshed because the blood circulation is stimulated and the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the brain increases.
This form of massage has been used in the workplace for a number of years, to prevent and/or combat various complaints from employees. It is a massage form especially for people who are short on time, because the clothes are kept on, no massage oil is used and it is usually of a shorter duration than a table massage.
Pregnancy Massage
During your pregnancy a lot changes in your body and you may experience complaints around the pelvis, back, neck and shoulder area. Fluid retention is also a well-known phenomenon, and having cramps in the legs, often especially in the calves.
A pregnancy massage can provide relief from pregnancy complaints and can ensure a better night's sleep. This can also reduce any stress and back problems. Massage also stimulates blood flow so that more oxygen-rich blood goes to your organs and to your baby.
With this massage you lie in a comfortable side position during the entire treatment. A combination of classical techniques and lomi hapai (Hawaiian pregnancy massage) is used.
