Let me introduce myself briefly. During my working life as an HR professional in the cultural and non-profit sector, the need arose to be able to mean something to someone by literally &#8216;letting my hands do the talking&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>For years I have been intrigued by what a good massage with my regular masseur meant to me personally and by experiences during my stays in India. It became clear to me that bodywork suits me well.<\/p>\n<p>I followed the Holistic Masseur training at the Academy for Massage &amp; Movement and various modules in Hawaiian Lomilomi. In addition to learning various massage techniques, I\u2019ve gained a lot of knowledge in anatomy, therapeutic education, kinesiology, physiology and the human body. I enthusiastically set up my own practice. Next to my own Massage Practice Bodylicious Amsterdam, I work part-time at Amsterdam Massage Center\/RUST.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The realization is still growing that the more thoughts fade into the background, the body starts to speak. Our body is the key where experiences and processes are fixed and of which we are not aware or deny. When you reach that key, the healing process begins. I would like to contribute to starting this process with you through massages.<\/p>\n<p>I regularly participate in training and further expand my knowledge in massage therapy. More information about this can be found on the \u2018Treatments\u2019 page.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to invite you to experience what a massage at Massage Practice Bodylicious Amsterdam can do for you!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/bodylicious.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/bodylicious-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bodylicious.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/bodylicious-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/bodylicious.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/bodylicious-2-600x498.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_0d15be52 height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>What customers say<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-grid type_carousel layout_140 cols_3\" id=\"us_grid_1\" style=\"--gap:1.5rem;\"><style>.layout_140 .w-grid-item-h{}.layout_140 .usg_hwrapper_1{padding-top:1.5rem!important;padding-right:2.5rem!important;padding-left:2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_image_1{width:4rem!important;margin-left:0!important;margin-right:1rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_1{font-weight:700!important;line-height:1.5!important;margin-bottom:0!important}.layout_140 .usg_vwrapper_2{color:var(--color-content-text)!important;border-radius:0.3rem!important;background:#ffffff!important;padding:2rem 2.5rem 2rem 2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_3{color:#ea560d!important}@media (min-width:1025px) and (max-width:1380px){.layout_140 .usg_hwrapper_1{padding-top:1.5rem!important;padding-right:2.5rem!important;padding-left:2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_image_1{width:4rem!important;margin-left:0!important;margin-right:1rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_1{font-weight:700!important;line-height:1.5!important;margin-bottom:0!important}.layout_140 .usg_vwrapper_2{color:var(--color-content-text)!important;border-radius:0.3rem!important;background:#ffffff!important;padding:2rem 2.5rem 2rem 2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_3{color:#ea560d!important}}@media (min-width:601px) and (max-width:1024px){.layout_140 .usg_hwrapper_1{padding-top:1.5rem!important;padding-right:2.5rem!important;padding-left:2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_image_1{width:4rem!important;margin-left:0!important;margin-right:1rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_1{font-weight:700!important;line-height:1.5!important;margin-bottom:0!important}.layout_140 .usg_vwrapper_2{color:var(--color-content-text)!important;border-radius:0.3rem!important;background:#ffffff!important;padding:2rem 2.5rem 2rem 2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_3{color:#ea560d!important}}@media (max-width:600px){.layout_140 .usg_hwrapper_1{padding-top:1.5rem!important;padding-right:2.5rem!important;padding-left:2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_image_1{width:4rem!important;margin-left:0!important;margin-right:1rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_1{font-weight:700!important;line-height:1.5!important;margin-bottom:0!important}.layout_140 .usg_vwrapper_2{color:var(--color-content-text)!important;border-radius:0.3rem!important;background:#ffffff!important;padding:2rem 2.5rem 2rem 2.5rem!important}.layout_140 .usg_post_custom_field_3{color:#ea560d!important}}<\/style><div class=\"w-grid-list owl-carousel navstyle_circle navpos_outside with_dots\">\t<article class=\"w-grid-item post-481 us_testimonial type-us_testimonial status-publish hentry\" data-id=\"481\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"w-grid-item-h\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-vwrapper usg_vwrapper_2 grid_arrow_bottom has_text_color align_none valign_top\"><div class=\"w-post-elm post_custom_field usg_post_custom_field_3 has_text_color type_icon us_testimonial_rating color_link_inherit\"><div class=\"w-testimonial-rating\"><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-post-elm post_content usg_post_content_1\"><p>I have been to Suzanna for a massage several times and am very satisfied.<br \/>\nShe radiates peace, confidence and expertise, gives a wonderful massage and pays attention to whether you feel comfortable.
