Release chronic tension and restore your body with a personalized deep tissue massage at Her Healing Massage & Wellness. A women-only studio in Amsterdam city center, where every session is adapted to your specific pain patterns.
Exclusively for women
Deep tissue massage works on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, where chronic tension and old injuries settle in.
It’s for women with ongoing tension in the neck, lower back, shoulders or hips who want firm, focused work rather than a relaxing spa massage. I adapt the pressure to what your body can take that day.
Available exclusively for women at my private massage studio in Amsterdam city center, on the Keizersgracht canal ring.
5 years of experience and more than 3,000 clients treated with precision deep tissue technique.
Targeted, sustained pressure reaching the deeper layers of muscle where chronic tension lives.
A quiet, central Amsterdam retreat designed as a safe space, just for women.
Deep tissue massage isn't just firmer pressure — it produces measurable changes in chronic pain and mobility. Here's what clinical research shows about what happens during and after a session.
A randomized trial found deep tissue massage lowered pain scores in chronic low back pain patients as effectively as combined treatment with anti-inflammatory medication.
In practice: less pain without relying on pills.
Studies on office workers with chronic low back pain showed significant improvement in lumbar spine mobility across all movement directions after soft tissue work.
In practice: easier bending, sitting and turning.
A large randomized controlled trial (the STONE trial) found deep tissue massage improved pain intensity in persistent neck pain, with the clearest gains in the first 7–12 weeks.
In practice: a neck that finally releases, not just loosens.
By working the deeper muscle and fascia layers rather than the surface, sustained pressure reaches adhesions and tension patterns that light strokes can't reach.
In practice: relief that lasts longer than the session itself.

Deep tissue massage in Amsterdam, exclusively for women
I'm a massage therapist, and I book deep tissue massages too. I know how it feels to ask for real pressure on your back and get a light touch, or pain where you never asked for it.

I went in with tired, swollen feet after a week of walking around the city and booked a reflexology massage on impulse. She worked every point without ever rushing, and I could feel the tension leaving with each breath. Best part? I slept through the whole night after, which never happens to me. Worth every minute!!Posted on Google![]()

One of the best neck and shoulder massages I ever received! I came in with muscles that felt like cement, and left with my upper body feeling nice and loose like jello :) I really appreciate that she took all her time and skills to work through all my knots, and and really help to relieve the tightness. Thank you so much!Posted on Google![]()

It was my first time at Dracel's studio. The massage brought me relief and was pleasant. She is a very attentive professional who focused on exactly what I needed. She also explained what might have caused my shoulder blade pain and gave me advice on how to prevent further back pain. The studio is also very beautiful and relaxing. I recommend it!Posted on Google![]()

Amazing! I expected just a relaxing massage, but it felt more like a therapeutic treatment. She focused on the areas that really needed attention—my back, shoulders, and jaw. After the session, I felt such a huge difference. My body was so much more relaxed, my shoulders felt lighter, and even my jaw tension improved. I also really appreciated that she's sending me exercises to help improve my posture. Dracel is skilled, caring, and truly wants to help you feel better. Highly recommend!

FAQS
It can be intense, but it should never be unbearable. I use sustained, gradual pressure and check in with you throughout the session so your body can open up instead of tensing against the work. You're always in control — if the pressure is too much at any point, it's adjusted immediately.
A relax massage works the surface — long, gliding strokes designed to calm your nervous system. Deep tissue massage goes further, using sustained, targeted pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue where chronic tension and old injuries settle in. If you're unsure which one your body needs right now, message me and I'll help you decide.
Deep tissue massage is best suited to women carrying chronic tension or recurring pain in specific areas — neck, lower back, shoulders or hips — rather than general stress. It's also effective if you sit for long hours, carry old injuries, or have tried lighter massage without lasting relief.
For chronic or recurring pain, many clients start with sessions every one to two weeks until tension patterns start to shift, then move to a maintenance rhythm of every three to four weeks. I can recommend a schedule based on your specific pain pattern during your first session.
No. I don’t offer treatments during pregnancy, at any stage. My treatment beds aren’t designed for the positioning pregnancy requires, so I’d recommend a studio that specializes in prenatal massage instead.
The easiest way to book is on WhatsApp at +31 618 708 632. 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.
