I was feeling a bit under the weather, so I looked into some mudra’s to support my physical healing.

This one I experience to be particularly helpful, combined with consuming a fair amount of fresh ginger, lemons and honey. My symptoms seem to be decreasing more rapidly.

Been expanding my places of work and seeing the differences in atmosphere, still the effect of the massages I give seem to have the desired outcome.

Where my sessions in Amsterdam are called holistic massages in the massage studio in Weesp they are presented as stress relief/relaxation massage. It has a different ring to it and I notice for me also a different feel. And I enjoy experiencing both.

Feeling happy about this and these new experiences with different environments, clients and colleagues inspire me to become better at what I do.

Having felt that through, if you are looking for something a bit more private, therapeutical and spiritual, I would like to invite you to the practice in Amsterdam.

Looking forward to having you 🤍

And thank you Sterre ✨ for being the model for these amazing pictures, you are beautiful!

The first time I received a deep tissue massage was some years ago, and it was a painful, unpleasant experience! The masseur told me, that I was supposed to relax more 🤔

During my studies I learned, that a deep tissue massage should never be painful. A bit intense and sometimes a bit uncomfortable, but never unbearable. I loved it, the intensity, the depth, the slowness. How effective it is in opening the body. Tuning in with yourself and the person on the table to find the right depth of touch. Nothing like my first time experience.

Non doing is what is essential here. Allowing your body to make space for my technique. A very deep and slow way to touch and work with the muscles and connective tissue of your back, chest, shoulders and/or neck, according to what feels right for you. A way to possibly release deeper lying tensions in body, mind and heart.

Does this kind of deep bodywork speak to you? Please feel free to contact me for more information. Or visit my website to read about the benefits of a deep tissue massage.

I came in touch with Mudras and Traditional Chinese Medicine, around 10 years ago through a boyfriend who had been practicing since youth. I experienced these simple hand gestures to be effective in balancing myself on different levels; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. And this practice is so easy to implement in any kind of lifestyle.I thought it would be nice to share some of them here with you from time to time.Here is a Mudra to balance the metal element inside your body. It can be done with your left or right hand or both hands. While watching a movie, when riding the train or with no distractions as a solid meditation.Index finger in the thumb pit, thumb on the second ring finger joint on the side closest to the middle finger.

It’s not about putting your head in the sand, it’s about witnessing and letting life play out the way it’s naturally supposed to play out. The courage to not interfere.

Some designs for a Shiatsu Therapist that I love and didn’t make the cut ⚔️

A wonderful process with a wonderful person, made me come to realise many things.

This is the last design assignment I have taken and I have decided to not take on anymore design work.

I love creating from the freedom inside me. And I’ve noticed, that when creating for someone else things are not as natural to me.

I have been shifting my main focus and practice towards western and eastern bodywork.

I’m also proceeding with my creative work in the form of original artwork, a number of them are in the making as I write this.

It’s only natural to say goodbye when it’s time to leave 🙏

Hoi! Sinds vorig jaar ben ik begonnen met de opleiding holistisch masseur bij Esoterra in Amsterdam Noord. Voorheen de Academie voor Massage en Beweging.

Ik las eerder een artikel over mensen die op hun sterfbed lagen, zij werden gevraagd waar ze spijt van hadden. Dingen die ze niet hadden gedaan..

Ik dacht, misschien is het slim om dit nu alvast te doen, in plaats van als ik straks op mijn sterfbed lig. Waar zou ik spijt van hebben, als ik dat dit leven niet zou hebben gedaan?

Toen kwam het leren en geven van massage naar voren. Toen ik bij Koan Float werkte was er al een za**je geplant, door het fijne contact met de masseurs. Dit werd nog verder verdiept door de trainingen met Vedanta Aspioti, waar onder andere bio energetisch lichaamswerk met meditatie en therapie wordt gegeven.

Mijn oog viel op Esoterra en ik voelde gelijk een heldere: ja!

De opleiding, de leraren en mijn medestudenten hebben mijn verwachtingen overtroffen. Een openbarende leerweg die ik ben ingeslagen! Vol sensitiviteit, professionaliteit, gronding en techniek.

Nu organiseren wij op woensdag 5 juni een massage dag voor een goed doel.

Je kunt je voor een uur laten masseren voor €37,50. De gehele opbrengst gaat naar UP Foundation, een stichting voor en door ouders van kinderen die extra zorg nodig hebben.

Met een beetje trots kan ik zeggen, dat ik de flyer hiervoor heb gemaakt 😄

Wees welkom!

Veel liefs,

Ashana

🌊 Exploring pastels and my ability to draw by hand instead of digitally.

A scene from my trip to Madeira in 2022. The same scene expressed in two different ways.

Have been creating digitally for about 14 years and I carried a believe, that my abilities, when it comes to drawing traditionally were not sufficient enough to create something that would make me feel fulfilled. Luckily I was wrong!

The art supplies I am using were a gift. They used to belong to a creative woman, who facilitated art as therapy 🙏
