Sacred motherhood massages and postpartum care
Motherhood is a sacred, transformative journey, a path that invites you to embrace both the profound beauty and tender challenges of nurturing new life. At Het Sattvahuys, I offer pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood massages that flow from a place of deep care. As a mother myself, I understand the longing for gentle nurturing during this precious time and the mindful connection between mother and child. Here, you are embraced in warmth, safety, and love—a space where your heart, body, and soul can soften into peace and rest.
I offer you the comfort of a certified pregnancy table, allowing you to rest on your belly—a rare luxury during pregnancy that can ease the weight you carry and provide sweet relief. Should lying on your back become uncomfortable, I also provide soothing massages in side-lying positions, ensuring your comfort at every stage. In these moments, there is always time for tender connection with your baby, a soft focus on your belly, legs, feet, and hips, honoring the sacred life growing within you. The natural, organic oils I use ensure that both mother and baby are treated with the utmost care and safety. With an initial gentle meditation and mindful touch, each session becomes an invitation to connect deeply with yourself and your baby.
Beyond pregnancy, I extend my care into the early years of motherhood with special treatments like 'Mommy's Time Out: Ayurvedic Serenity for Moms with Young Children,' offering you a precious pause in the midst of busy days. As a mother with young children, sleepless nights often become a part of your world. The constant lifting and holding of your little one places extra strain on your back, neck, shoulders and arms. I make sure to focus on relaxing these areas, alleviating tension and promoting well-being. In the midst of navigating the early stages of motherhood, taking time for a massage allows you to take care of yourself, offering your body the deep rest and nurturing it needs to restore balance and ease.
‘Take time to nourish your soul and the body will follow.
In the gentle embrace of a massage,
find your way back to harmony and peace.’
The essence of Ayurvedic massage
Ayurvedic massage, also known as Abhyanga, is an ancient tradition deeply rooted in the healing arts of India. This full-body treatment works in harmony with the holistic principles of Ayurveda. According to Ayurvedic wisdom, illness arises when the ‘doshas’—the vital life energies of Kapha, Pitta, and Vata—are out of balance. That’s why I begin each session by exploring your constitutional type. This energetic blueprint, composed of the doshas, guides us to a treatment perfectly tailored to your inner and outer needs, your lifestyle, and your health condition. At Het Sattvahuys, I personalize each massage with warm, organic oils and medicinal herbal oils (taila’s), carefully selected to support your specific needs and constitution.
This enriching wellness experience begins the moment you step into my practice. We take the time to discuss your personal needs, allowing space for you to choose your own music and scent, or simply let me create the perfect ambiance for you. Wrapped in warmth—from the pouring of warm oil to the use of heated towels—the pressure and rhythm of the massage are adjusted to your dosha. Additionally, attention is given to your marma points (pressure points on the body). As the gentle, rhythmic movements of the massage flow over you, your body is nourished, your energy channels are opened, and a profound sense of well-being is restored.
Our name, ‘Sattva,’ is drawn from Sanskrit, meaning
purity, balance, and harmony.
‘Huys’ means home, giving you a sense of homecoming.
It is these very qualities that form the heart of Het Sattvahuys.

Meet Sanne
My name is Sanne, the founder and heart behind Het Sattvahuys. My journey into the world of healing began early, growing up surrounded by the practices of massage, yoga, and meditation, taught by my mother and grandparents. These early experiences shaped my path, allowing me to navigate my own challenges with stress and well-being, and eventually led me to dedicate my life to helping others find their way back to themselves.
After becoming a mother, my passion for supporting women thrived. Now, with over four years of experience as a peer specialist in mental health care and running my own massage practice, I am here to guide you on your journey back to yourself, your true home.
I look forward to welcoming you into the warm embrace of Het Sattvahuys.
