A journey of care, calm, and connection
At Het Sattvahuys, everything revolves around personal care, tranquility, and deep nurturing. From the moment you step into the serene space in Haarlem, you will feel the warm, calming energy inviting you to leave the worries of the day behind. I am here to welcome you with open arms and a warm embrace, ensuring you feel at ease from the very start.
Personalized massage treatments
Your personalized wellness experience at Het Sattvahuys begins long before the Ayurvedic healing massage itself. After booking your session, you’ll receive an invitation to complete the Dosha-test on my website. This test offers insight into your energetic blueprint, allowing me to tailor your Ayurvedic healing massage to the unique needs of your body. Every detail is personalized, from the pressure and rhythm of the massage to the oils used. After completing the Dosha Test, you’ll also receive a *selection menu* to choose from a range of scents and music, so you can create a personalized experience that will make you feel right at home.
‘Each massage is a journey inward ~
a sacred moment of care that nurtures your body, calms your mind, and restores your soul.’
a warm footh bath
Before we begin, you’ll have a moment to change and relax into a luxurious robe, with a warm foot bath awaiting you. I offer three different types of bath salts and essential oils, each designed to create a soothing and energetically uplifting experience. The salts, rich in magnesium from Himalayan and Epsom sources, calm your muscles and promote deep relaxation.
'Calm' for Kapha:
A refreshing blend of Lavandin, Grapefruit, and Palmarosa, designed to uplift and revitalize the body.
'Sleep' for Pitta:
A calming mix of Lavender, Mandarin, and Ylang Ylang, perfect for quieting the mind and encouraging deep relaxation.
'Grounding' for Vata:
An earthy combination of Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, and Cedarwood, helping to restore a deep sense of stability and balance.
You are then invited to choose your own music and scent. Each element has its own meaning and can contribute to your healing journey; I am happy to explain how your choices can influence your experience. If you prefer silence or wish to fully hand over control, I ensure a peaceful, quiet environment tailored to your needs.
At Het Sattvahuys, I offer six different massage treatments, each with its own benefits and approach. You can find a full description of these treatments on the treatments page allowing you to choose the Ayurvedic healing massage that best suits your needs.

Rituals and meditation
Elke behandeling begint en eindigt met een verwenritueel. Voorafgaand aan de massage begeleid ik je terwijl je van een magnesium voetenbad geniet door een geleide meditatie, die je helpt je gedachten te kalmeren en je lichaam voor te bereiden op de behandeling. Na de massage bied ik je de ruimte om rustig bij te komen met een kopje Ayurvedische thee of cacao. Dit moment van integratie is belangrijk voor het laten doorwerken van de helende effecten. Als afsluiting kun je een kaart trekken uit het deck van de Inner Compass Cards, die je een mooie boodschap meegeeft voor de rest van je dag.
Marmapoints and chakras

Marmapoints and chakras
In addition to the physical aspect of the massage, I focus on your *marmapoints*—the body’s vital energy centers. According to Ayurvedic teachings, your body has 107 marma points, which are considered crossroads of energy where the life force, or prana, is especially concentrated. By gently stimulating these points, I help energy flow freely through your body, enhancing your sense of well-being and healing. Your chakras, the body’s energy centers, are also balanced during the massage, helping to clear blockages and restore your natural state of harmony, both physically and energetically. This focus on marmapoints and chakras deepens your connection to yourself and brings your inner balance back to life.

Warmth therapy
Wrapped in warmth—from the gentle pouring of warm oil to heated towels and a warm massage table—each Ayurvedic healing massage is tailored to your Dosha. I also offer anthroposophic warmth care, such as rose peat-infused oil wraps and wool blankets, enveloping you in a sense of comfort and nurturing. This additional warmth is especially valuable during postpartum recovery or times of transformation, where warmth and care are essential for healing.
High-quality oils and materials

High-quality oils and materials
At Het Sattvahuys, I only use biodynamic and organic oils from renowned brands such as Wikkelfee (turmoil), Dr. Hauschka (Moor Lavender Oil), and Weleda, as well as Ayurvedic oils from Holisan and Lakshmi. These oils support circulation, release built-up tension, and help restore your body’s natural balance. The rhythmic, flowing movements of the massage open your energy channels, improve circulation, and bring your body and mind back to a state of harmony. Every aspect, from the oils to the towels and even the cleaning products, is entirely organic, respecting both your body and the environment.

Ancient traditions
At Het Sattvahuys, I combine ancient Ayurvedic healing wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques. This includes anthroposophic rhythmic massage, soothing oil wraps, and the use of rose-infused turmoil (klopt dit?), alongside Ayurvedic practices like the Dosha Test and Shirodhara—a method where warm oil is gently poured over your forehead to promote deep mental relaxation. This blend of ancient traditions creates a massage that is both physically and mentally restorative.
