Tuulia Massage Experience is run by Tiia Tuulia (she/they), a multitasking body-enthusiast. In addition to being passionate about massage and the impact of touch, I am a dance/movement psychotherapist, and a performer-choreographer.
My massage and bodywork treatments are informed by dance and other movement-body practices, as well as a formal training in applied sports & rehabilitation massage (EMMA in Lisbon, Portugal), and continuous experience. However, the most essential element is my utmost curiosity towards life, people, and touch. I constantly refine my technique and methods, but the starting point is always being present and attuning to the client. At Tuulia Massage Experience you will not receive an ordinary massage, but my goal is to provide an entire experience of being met as a human being; touch goes beyond the physical.
I have been giving professional massages since 2020, at my own practice, currently also at Weleda City Spa Amsterdam. Although my treatments fit somewhere around classical Swedish relaxation massage, and sports massage/deep tissue treatments, as well as pregnancy massage, I work with intuition, combining soft and firm pressure, mobilisations, and stretches. In terms of techniques and future development, I aim to learn more about foot reflexology and Thai massage, for example, but by practicing my profession and consulting colleagues I gain and apply new knowledge and discoveries frequently. On the front page, you can read some reviews from existing clients. I recommend you to come and experience it yourself!
Where massage hopefully is relaxing, and increases your body awareness, there is more to it than that. What does relaxing actually mean and imply? How might an increased body awareness impact your entire life and help in self-discoveries? These are some of the most intriguing questions and curiosities in my mind. If something is stirring up and resonating in you whilst reading this, perhaps it is a good moment to make an appointment… 💙
