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.

Every relax massage at Her Healing Massage & Wellness follows a personalised full-body protocol. No fixed routine — a complete relaxation experience adapted to your tension levels and nervous system on the day.
A brief pre-session conversation about your stress levels, sleep, and the areas where you carry most tension.
Long gliding strokes to warm the tissue and ease your nervous system into a parasympathetic state before deeper work begins.
Therapeutic-grade oils warmed before use to help muscles soften and respond to pressure without resistance.
Simple guidance during the session to help your body release held tension instead of bracing against the pressure.
Observations on areas of chronic holding or asymmetry — practical takeaways if anything useful came up during the session.
Real reviews from real women. Our clients consistently highlight how deeply they relax during the session, the attentive and unhurried pace, and how rested they feel for days afterwards.
A woman’s body holds stress differently. At Her Healing Massage & Wellness Studio, every relax massage follows a calm, personalised sequence – adapted to your tension patterns, your pace and how your body responds on the day.
Before the session begins, Dracel takes a few minutes to understand where you are - your stress levels, sleep quality and the areas where your body holds the most tension. This shapes the pace and focus of everything that follows.
The session begins with slow, continuous strokes along the full length of each muscle group. This is not filler. It warms the tissue, increases circulation and signals your nervous system that it is safe to let go.
Pressure, rhythm and focus areas adjust throughout the session based on how your body responds. If an area needs more time, we stay. If something feels too firm, we adapt. There is no fixed sequence to get through.
The session closes gradually - never abruptly. If anything notable came up during the treatment, Dracel shares it with you. You leave with practical guidance on hydration, rest and how to extend the effects of the session.
FAQS
Everything you need to know before booking your relax massage with Dracel at Her Healing Massage & Wellness, a women-only studio in Amsterdam city centre.
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 — Dracel 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 Dracel will 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 Dracel and she'll help you choose.
Before every session, Dracel takes 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, pregnancy, or specific concerns beforehand lets the session be shaped around how your body actually responds, not a fixed routine.
