With his iPad he further educated me with 3D pictures & videos of our anatomy i.e. levels of muscles and fascia etc. Then the actual massage was in a lovely room upstairs and on the best massage table I have ever been on. Scientific, educational, professional and healing atmosphere was like no other massage I have ever had. I will be back for sure. Today my body feels "smoother & looser" which is fantastic.

I found Martin through friends I visited in Haarlem who raved about him. Overall, he is very warm,…read morecaring, and knowledgeable masseuse (especially since I'm non-binary trans person with chest scars) and the location in his home is serene and beautiful. There are steep stairs to second floor massage room. I scheduled my initial 2 hour massage and received an additional 30 minutes which was fantastic, AND massage time (2.5 hours) is actually table time. It was 124 euros which is very reasonable compared to prices in US, especially with US tipping culture which is not in NL. You can definitely tip is you insist though if it is financially feasible for you. :) My massage was focused on trigger point mostly with some cupping and myofascial release massage too. It was awesome! I do like deep tissue and trigger point massage, the cupping and myofascial was new to me and really added to my massage therapy. Martin explained what he was doing during the massage and checked in frequently about pressure. He does like to work on a knot that he finds before moving onto to another area to help release it so this was not the typical full body massage process that I've had at other places before. It was so good to get actual muscle knots released during the session even though he didn't have time to move down to my legs. You do need to be direct and communicate your level of pressure and the level of discomfort you are willing to enjoy as he works on your muscles. After my first session, I was a bit sore the next day which is usual for me since, especially since it had been several years since I had had a massage. I did book a second 2 hour massage a week later and had him work on my legs. Again, it was amazing! I highly recommend Martin! Booking was super easy on his website, even in Dutch, and I received several follow-up emails in English. Do not hesitate to let him get his hands on you! You will not be disappointed!
