Alchemy of touch™ bodywork
Bring your body back to its natural, free and painless state.
TO FEEL free in your body is a great step to true happiness
By the alchemy of Touch™ your mind quiets and Your body relaxes
During an Alchemy of Touch™ session you can experience your body reaching a deep state of relaxation and your mind can let go.
We often carry more tension and stiffness in our body then we expect to.
It is usually a build up of moments where we did or could not pay full attention to the pain signals our body gave us. Or we didn’t take the rest we actually needed to.
If we don’t listen to the body for a longer period the signals stop and the pain goes numb. The body stiffens up and stops moving. We get more tense and forget wat ever happened.
Up until the moment where we are touched in ‘that spot’. Maybe on our back, shoulders or neck. We can reconnect and feel the pain again.
The pain in ‘that spot’ is finally experienced, acknowledged and released.
And with that the tissue can become free again.
Free to move.
Free for energy to flow.
Free to experience joy and happiness.
A sigh of relief follows.
A smile begins to form.
Finally.
elements of touch
Alchemy of Touch™ bodywork is a blend of Deep Tissue work, (Myo)fascial Release, Chi Energy Release, Joint Mobilization, Polarity Energy work, Yoga Thai Stretches and much more…
We work on these and other important elements in the body.
MUSCLES
DEEP TISSUE WORK - To release deeply held tension and pain from the body, we gently apply a higher pressure in the areas that are most stuck, often called trigger points. Thanks to the special Alchemy of Touch technique your pain will be quickly transformed into relief.
CONNECTIVE TISSUES
(MYO)FASCIAL RELEASE - Your whole body is encased and held together by sheets of fascia, like glue. Every muscle. Every organ. Every nerve. Connecting all and intercommunicating. By releasing tense areas in the fascia your body is able to move again and function at a higher level.
ENERGY PATHWAYS
CHI ENERGY RELEASE - When the muscles, tendons, joints and connective tissues stiffen the energy running through your body also gets stuck. E-motions (energy in motion) stop to flow freely and build up an overall heaviness in your system. We enable the chi to move again so fresh energy and positive emotions can uplift your mood naturally.
What People experience
“My experience receiving a massage from Thomas was profoundly relaxing and opening. I arrived thinking I didn't have anything specific to work on, only to discover areas of tension and blockage that were gently yet powerfully eased through Thomas' unique style.
His seamless, calibrated approach works deeply on both the physical and energy bodies. I emerged from our session feeling lighter, brighter, and blissfully in ease.”
— susan marshall
“I had a great massage from Thomas, he is very attentive and the style suited me perfectly. After the session I felt rejuvenated and relaxed.
It’s a unique type of massage that’s combining different technique and styles depending on what you require.”
— Bo Kingdon
“This massage was a unique experience for me.
Thomas is really great at finding the right spots and communicating along the way to keep checking in with me. I have scoliosis and the right side of my back has chronic tension. In this session Thomas released a lot of this tension which felt really great for me after.
This is one of the very few bodywork sessions I ever had that actually works and left me feel light and energetically balanced at the same time.”

the body
In an Alchemy of Touch™ session I will feel the tension in your muscles and know in what places to give more attention and bring relief. As we focus directly on the area of the body with the most discomfort, the rest of the body will benefit. So it is not needed to tend to the full body in one session. In general there is a focus on the areas below.
BACK, SHOULDERS & NECK
The spine, neck and shoulders are a foundational structure in the body. Because of this a lot of tension and stiffness from daily life gets stored here.
With a stiff and painful back the shoulders and neck can easily also get affected due to misalignment.
Also with a high level of anxiety or (emotional) stress in life this can lead to painful and tense shoulders.
According to ancient yogic knowledge a healthy and flexible spine is the best indication that you will live a long and vital life.
Unless requested otherwise back, shoulders and neck is the foundational focus for a first Alchemy of Touch session.
HIPS, LEGS & FEET
Our feet, legs and hips literally keep us moving and in balance in life.
But when pain and tension build up here, we can experience resistances and fears to really make powerful steps in life, or we can feel that we have nothing to move forward towards.
The upper legs are actually the areas in the body that can hold the most amount of tension and pain, without being consciously noticed.
So if you bring your attention to them, you can discover that there are worlds of old pain and emotions that can be felt and released.
Leading to a renewed vigor to step into your life with confidence and stability.
CHEST, BELLY AND ARMS
The front of the body and arms have a great relationship on how we interact with the world and how we hold the experiences of life.
Approaching life with an open heart and loving attitude makes a big impact.
The belly area holds all our organs and keeps us nourished and healthy. It also digests emotions and ideas. When unbalanced it can hold fear for the new, pinning us down in life.
They call the intestines our second brain. Having a free and healthy energy flow here is a big step to a open connection to our body and our senses.
So we can connect fully to the here and now.
