Hi, I’m Carola van der Kooij, a qualified, experienced Massage Therapist and a mum of two beautiful teenage boys. I have been working as a therapist since 2010 in the health, wellness and beauty-fitness industry in the Netherlands, Spain and Australia. For the mother-to-be I wanted to be able to give a well-supported massage treatment and so I became a certified Practitioner in Pregnancy Massage.
And being able to offer New Mum's some extra's for their babies, I became an IMIS Infant Massage Instructor and Paediatric Massage Consultent in 2020. A women’s body is made to carry a baby and to give birth, it is a very natural process. At Adeo Massage Pregnancy & More we like women to have faith in their body and baby, manage their healthcare throughout their pregnancy and provide them skills (exercise) and knowledge to get through the day to day activities pain free and let them experience a healthy, happy pregnancy and beyond. Regular pregnancy massage helps to support the many changes your body undergoes occurring from week to week, allowing the body to adapt through the pregnancy. You will experience the benefits of relaxation, get better sleep, its sooths your aches and pain, gives you a better circulation and you will feel better.'
As a mum myself I know that life can be challenging and your body could use a regular maintenance with all those day-to-day challenges of motherhood. When I was pregnant, I could have used some relaxation, pain relieve and me-baby time but I booked a massage in the last trimester of my second boy. If I had known that it was such a relief, selfcare and nice treatment, I would have gone earlier! From mid-March you are welcome in my beautiful room from .space at Haarlem. Hope to see you soon,
Carola van der Kooij
