Who I am
Hi, I'm Eddie, originally from Ireland, now living and working as a massage therapist in the center of Amsterdam.
I've always believed in the power of massage. Over the years I've seen what it can do in tackling all sorts of physical problems - everything from muscular tension to joint mobility and poor circulation. As well as reducing or eliminating pain, massage can also aid the body in getting rid of unwanted toxins. But what I'm constantly reminded of is how beneficial massage is as a way of keeping us balanced, mind and body. The way we sit and move around, not to mention how our body responds to the stresses and strains of modern life, all have an impact on our health and sense of well-being.
A regular, therapeutic massage can give mind and body the chance to deeply relax and revitalise, helping us to tackle your busy life with renewed energy and vitality.
Working from my home in the leafy and tranquil Plantage neighbourhood, I offer my clients a range of massages lasting from 30 to 90 minutes, or longer. Whatever your specific needs, whether you have an injury or just want to pamper yourself, I will concentrate on the areas that give you maximum relief and a welcome sense of rejuvenation.
