BODY-BASED COACHING AND HOLISTIC MASSAGE IN AMSTERDAM
FOR CALM, REGULATION AND INNER RECONNECTION
You don’t have to hit a breaking point before you’re allowed to slow down.
Maybe you feel tired. Overstimulated. Tense.
Or like you’re carrying a lot, giving a lot, and somewhere along the way have lost a little connection with yourself.
Or maybe you’re not exactly sure what’s going on? Only that you long for rest, space, and reconnection with yourself.
At Hannalou, you are welcome for somatic coaching and holistic massage in Amsterdam. Two forms of support, grounded in the same vision: slowing down, regulating, and reconnecting with yourself.
Somatic coaching helps you understand what is happening within you. You gain insight into patterns, emotions, and bodily signals, allowing movement to arise in what feels stuck.
Holistic massage helps you drop out of your head, release tension, and calm your nervous system so your body can restore itself.
Sometimes change begins with understanding.
Sometimes with feeling and relaxation.
Often, they strengthen each other.
The sessions help you release tension, calm your nervous system, and come home to who you are beneath all the noise.
Not by working harder on yourself.
But by slowing down.
Feeling what needs attention.
And reconnecting back to yourself.

Somatic coaching for regulation and inner calm
Book your coaching session
Schedule an introductory call
For people who carry a lot, feel deeply, and have lost a sense of themselves.
Who feel stuck in stress, burnout, grief, tension or overstimulation.
And notice recurring patterns playing out within themselves and in their lives.
Where talking alone no longer feels like enough.
Sometimes this shows up as tension in your body, fatigue or restlessness.
Sometimes as emptiness or the feeling of not being able to fully land in yourself.
Sometimes as anger, frustration, or a period where everything feels heavy.
Or in situations where you keep ending up in the same place over and over again.
What these coaching sessions can bring you:
- Insight into what lies beneath stress, burnout and grief
- Awareness of recurring patterns within yourself and in relationships
- Recognition of automatic stress and protection responses
- Understanding of how your body reacts under pressure and tension
- More space between trigger, feeling and response
- More calm, clarity and freedom of choice in how you respond to what is happening
In my sessions, we work with both conversation and bodywork on the massage table.
This allows not only insight into what is happening, but also awareness within the body itself.
Because your body often tells what your mind is still trying to understand.
Where tension is held. Where you have adapted yourself. Where experiences, stress and grief are stored in your system.
By exploring this together, space begins to open up.
Not by forcing, but by slowing down.
So that you don’t only understand what is happening,
but also begin to feel and experience it differently within yourself.

Massage
to slow down, release tension and reconnect with your body
Sometimes your body doesn’t need a solution.
It needs rest. Touch. Space.
A place where your mind is allowed to switch off.
Where nothing is required of you.
Where you don’t have to perform, manage or keep going.
In a world that is mostly focused on doing, I invite you to return to being.
My holistic massages are not only focused on relaxation, but also on bringing your entire system into a state of calm. I work with oil, essential oils, pressure points, stretches and breathing techniques.
They help you slow down, release tension and reconnect with yourself.
Because often we only realise how tired we truly are when we finally allow ourselves to come to stillness.
We begin each session slowly with a cup of tea, a moment to land.
To feel how you are really doing and what your body needs today.
After that, you are invited to simply receive.
Without needing to solve anything.
Without needing to understand anything.
I consciously allow plenty of time for each session.
Also after the massage.
So you don’t have to jump straight back into “doing”, but can gently return.
In a world that moves fast, this space feels almost sacred to me.
A holistic massage offers you:
- Deep relaxation for your body and nervous system
- Reduction of stress and overstimulation
- More calm in your mind and softness in your body
- A sense of coming home to yourself
- Space to feel, restore and recharge
Pregnancy Massage
You are also very welcome for pregnancy massage. I am a certified pregnancy massage therapist.
A moment in which your changing body is allowed to relax, recharge and be supported.
A gentle invitation to slow down, to connect with yourself, your baby, and everything that is unfolding on the path toward motherhood.

About me
“I work with presence, not pressure”
Hi, my name is Hanna Bloemhof.
I am curious about life and about what moves people. About both the lightness and the more difficult layers that life brings.
Integrity and holism are at the heart of my work. Everything is connected: the body, emotions, thoughts, and the way we move through life.
I work as a somatic coach and massage therapist for people who carry a lot, feel deeply, and have often kept going for too long without truly pausing to listen to themselves.
My own journey has played a significant role in shaping this work. A traumatic near-death experience in my childhood, followed by a burnout in my twenties, brought me back to an essential truth: healing is not found in quick fixes, but in learning to listen to the body, the emotions, and what life is trying to tell you.
That experience became the foundation of my work.
Since 2009, I have continued my professional development in massage, coaching, and body-oriented work, both in the Netherlands and abroad. What I have seen time and again is simple: nothing within us exists in isolation, and healing begins when we slow down, feel, and honestly meet what is present.
In my work, I bring a gentle yet grounded and clear presence. I offer a space where you do not have to perform or “fix” yourself, but where what truly going on can gradually become visible.
From there, something profound and essential can emerge: more calm in your system, greater clarity, and movement that comes from within.
