A full-body relaxation massage using slow, deliberate strokes to calm your nervous system, ease muscle tension and lower stress levels.
Exclusively for women
Stressed out, tense shoulders and back, or struggling to sleep? Relax massage is a full-body treatment designed to take your nervous system out of stress mode and into real rest. Exclusively for women, in a space built for you to fully let go.
I use classic relaxation techniques — long gliding strokes, gentle kneading and rhythmic pressure — refined through years of hands-on practice with clients. There’s no fixed script: every session adapts to how your body responds in the moment.

Relax massage isn't just a nice way to spend an hour - it produces measurable changes in your body. Here's what clinical research shows about what happens during and after a session.
Relax massage has been shown to reduce cortisol, the body's main stress hormone, with effects that can last up to 48 hours after the session.
In practice: you leave calmer, and that calm tends to stick.
Clinical studies show relax massage lowers anxiety immediately after treatment, with effects still measurable 30 minutes later.
In practice: the racing thoughts slow down before you even leave the room.
Research shows meaningful improvements in both self-reported and objectively measured sleep quality after regular relax massage sessions.
In practice: fewer nights spent staring at the ceiling.
Relax massage increases serotonin and dopamine, the same neurotransmitters linked to happiness and wellbeing.
In practice: it's not just relaxation, it's a real mood lift.

THE HANDS THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
I’m Dracel, a massage therapist in Amsterdam with 5 years of experience and more than 3,000 women treated, including in the city’s five-star hotel spas.
In my relax massage, I work slowly and with intention, so your body can finally switch off.
Available exclusively for women, at my studio on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam city center.
Yes, completely normal. Many women arrive stressed and running on too little rest, and the slow, rhythmic strokes of a relax massage guide the nervous system toward rest. If you drift off during your session, that's not a distraction from the treatment — it's your body doing exactly what the treatment is designed for.
It depends on your stress levels and lifestyle, but many clients find a session every two to four weeks keeps cortisol and tension from building back up, since the drop in cortisol can last up to 48 hours. If you're going through a particularly stressful period, more frequent sessions can help — I can advise on a rhythm that suits your body during your first visit.
You undress to your comfort level, and you're always properly draped with a towel or sheet throughout the session — only the area being worked on is uncovered at any time. Her Healing Massage & Wellness is a women-only studio, and I always check in with you before the session starts so you feel completely at ease.
Relax massage uses long gliding strokes, gentle kneading and rhythmic pressure applied to the superficial muscle layers — the goal is to calm your nervous system and ease general tension, not to work into deep, chronic knots. Deep tissue massage goes further into the muscle with sustained, firmer pressure to release specific areas of built-up tension, and can feel more intense. If you're unsure which one your body needs right now, message me and I'll help you choose.
Before every session, I take a few minutes to understand where you're at — your stress levels, sleep quality and the areas where your body is holding the most tension. Mentioning any injuries, sensitive areas, allergies to oils or specific concerns beforehand lets the session be shaped around how your body actually responds, not a fixed routine. Please note that I don’t offer treatments during pregnancy.

Payment is always made before your session. From the Netherlands, you can pay by Tikkie or bank transfer; from abroad, by bank transfer only. I send you the details on WhatsApp when I confirm your booking. If you cancel 24 hours or more before your session, I refund your payment. With less than 24 hours' notice, even by a few minutes, I can't refund it, for any reason, because your room is already reserved for you. If you arrive late, I always try to add the lost minutes at no extra cost. If I have another client right after you, the late minutes come off your session time.
